Enjoying being in my element on the water catching fish, soaking up the sunshine, listening to the blackbirds sing and the wind whistle through the cattails ~
⁣
This outing the chatterbait, senko, and frittside crank bait from were key in catching. Water temps reached around 57-59 degrees which dropped from the week before as the bays started hitting close to 65. Largemouth bass are moving in and staging for the spawn! ⁣Excited to soak up more of spring!

Happiest days are on the water catching walleyes 🌞

This ice season turned out to be the year of the bass!

I caught more bass this winter than I normally do, which was a fun change of pace. Between chasing bass and walleye, we didn’t land the massive pike we usually see but they’re definitely lurking around.

Late ice we had one absolutely smash a big herring on a quick-strike rig, chewed up a huge chunk, and got away before we could seal the deal. That’s fishing and it always keeps me coming back!

The pike are pregnant and starting to prowl those back channels… which means one thing, spring is right around the corner 🙌🏼 who’s ready?!? I certainly am ready to bust out the boat!

Howdy strangers… I’ve been a wee bit MIA on socials lately — but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been out there living it!

Sometimes the best moments aren’t captured in a staged setting. Sometimes they’re meant to be fully felt — cold air in your lungs, boots on ice, sonar lighting up, and memories made the old-fashioned way. Reminiscing is a part of that experience as well as sharing with y’all!

Last weekend, my pops and I loaded up and spent Friday after work through Sunday evening chasing marks in our bay. Broke in my new Panoptix and let me tell you… absolute game changer. We scanned a thick cloud of bait fish, punched a few more holes, set the tips, and got to jigging.

It was a fish frenzy with 8-10” gills, perch, and bass hitting left and right! During the sunset, I switched to a Swedish pimple and a crappie minnow, started snap jigging, and bam a walleye on the bottom slammed my bait and we were off to the races! Felt good bringing this eye in on a lighter setup. Big marks continued cruising through. A pike sliding across the screen spooking all the fish & one massive mystery mark — carp? catfish? taking up half the sonar like it owned the lake.

Grateful to be learning new tech, dialing in efficiency, and sharpening skills that will translate straight to open water season. Can’t wait to fire this setup up in my boat soon.

More photos from recent wilderness days coming your way. Stay tuned. 🌲❄️

First ice, crappie on the tried and true Swedish pimple, and saw a hawk hunting so I am a happy camper! My pops and I went out for a couple hours yesterday and got acclimated to the conditions. We were on a smaller lake that is not as deep which about 5-6” of ice 100’+ out. I am so grateful for ice fishing and outdoor activities to enjoy winter rather than watch it pass me by. I feel rejuvenated since being on the water again fishing and enjoying wildlife!

Reminiscing last ice season — it was a good one with lots of laughter surrounded by friends and family with plenty of healthy fish caught.

Unfortunately my season has not started yet. We had a solid cold snap and decent ice by mid-December while I was a busy bee wrapping up year-end at work and gearing up for the holidays. As soon as my break started before Christmas the ice melted away. This is exactly what happened last year. La Niña is predicted to bring warmer and wetter conditions on average this season with cold snaps so curious to see how it shakes out. The upcoming forecast looks nice and cold so the lakes shall freeze soon and hopefully stick!

We need it — for the lakes, the ecosystems, and to reset systems that depend on it.

First snow magic ❄️✨

Winter layers are officially dialed in while nature is shifting and slowing into the cold weather rhythm. Fresh snow reveals new tracks, hidden trails, and that slower kind of wildness that helps a busy mind like mine pause and breathe with Mother Nature.

From frosty hikes to frozen lake adventures, I’m ready for all the winter vibes! Lakes aren’t frozen here yet, but they will be soon. Hiking snowy trails, shredding the slopes, and of course ice fishing are a few of my favorite ways to embrace the season.

What winter activity are you most looking forward to this year? Love to hear it below for fun ideas!

I had the perfect hook set on this pike earlier in the week, it was so heavy I thought I might be snagged. I set twice and felt the fiery of this fish boomerang back through my hands. I was using 12 lb mono, a 3/O - 1/16oz .usa swim bait hook with Go To Swim Minnow in the Eufaula color.

Late season open water is great with the entire lake to enjoy without the chaos, turn over appears to be complete, water is 43 degrees, and with the wicked weather we have currently, we might be seeing some ice in the near future!

Pike have a special place in my heart as brings me back to when I grew up targeting them on a lake in Wisconsin where they were abundant. My mom then filleting & preparing them on the grill with salt, black pepper, garlic, lemon, oil, & dash of paprika. The good ol’ days where I would outcompete my brothers in fishing for candy bars and usually win 😋

Golden hour hits different when the whole forest turns to gold 🍂✨ ⁣
⁣
Aspen stands are not just pretty they are ecological powerhouses!⁣
⁣
Aspens shoot up after wildfire, create shade that cools snowmelt, and provides habitat for elk, songbirds, and pollinators.⁣
⁣
Hiking through this magical golden tunnel is a reminder that every ecosystem has layers of purpose and how grateful I am for trees!
