While Carrie and I were in Milwaukee for the sports show in March we had the pleasure of visiting with Walt and Millie Rundle, the founders of Eagle Falls Lodge. They had the foresight to build the lodge on the unique piece of property between Parker Lake and Red Lake. The first group was hosted …
UPDATE: Buster’s no longer serves breakfast – bummer! Lunch is still delicious though! Looking for a pit stop on the way to Red Lake? Carrie and I have a new favorite – Buster’s BBQ located in Vermilion Bay, Ontario. The restaurant is located on Highway 17 about a mile west of the turnoff for Highway …
There is plenty of material out there on catching Northern Pike. Much of it advocates an erratic retrieve to attract the attention of fish in the area. I won’t disagree with the experts. An erratic retrieve certainly draws fish in, but also leads to a poor hookup percentage especially when fishing topwater lures. Watching a …
Hello everyone! We got back last night from our big Milwaukee adventure and I thought I would share some photos from our trip. However, I must share a quick side story from the trip home first. Travis and I drove separately (an unfortunate circumstance of his work schedule) and we split off near the end …

Carrie put her culinary skills to the test this past weekend and ended up winning the Bloomington Chocolate Challenge. She was awarded 1st place in the amateur division for her dish – Pistachio Chocolate Baklava. I can attest it does, in fact, taste as good as it looks. I cannot say whether or not this …
Topwater trolling is certainly an unconventional, yet highly effective, technique for catching Northern Pike. First and foremost I love casting for Northern Pike and I still spend most of my Pike time slinging lures across the water. However, casting all day can be tiresome and this technique provides a much needed rest for achy shoulders …
