We haven’t had much here where I live in Southeast Texas lately but a couple of weeks ago we had two days of solid rain. Once I saw the ditch across the street filling up I […]
A few years ago, my friend Mark Davis (host of Big Water Adventures on the Outdoors Channel) introduced me to a deadly technique for catching big trout. It works any time but it works incredibly well […]
