by teamjk | Aug 1, 2017 | Big Rig, Fishing

July has been a busy but a good month. I’ve had a bit of writers block and have been struggling to come up with a topic that I could blog on. After an entire month of fishing with friends old and new, I know my topic. This month really has not been about the fish as...

Breaking Down Big Water in a Little Boat

by Matthew Ball | Jun 26, 2017 | Fishing
