    It has been a few weeks, and I am experiencing a void. I only wanted to get outside to try the new stuff that I scored. I desperately needed some action. I reached out to a chum from work. There was a time when I would fish in the super-cold creeks. Not anymore. It’s not

  • Ice Fishing Well Underway0

    Well, this has certainly been a winter more like those years ago when it stayed cold, and we seemed to have plenty of snow. Except for that brief period of warmer, rainy weather earlier this winter, it has been a lot more like the cold, snowy winters of years past. The good news is that

  • Where Do Snakes Go in Winter?0

    Where do snakes go in the winter? No doubt that’s a question that’s been very heavy on people’s minds lately. OK, so it hasn’t been something you have given a lot of thought to lately, but what brought it to my mind was when someone told me that during that brief warm, rainy spell we

    Dave Heaps from Montoursville asked if I would give a short presentation. I said yes before I got any of the details. I never shy away from a crowd.

    I always have great intentions. But I already gave up on those resolutions. Perhaps next year I will join that gym. I am okay with my current shape. No worries. My new XXL Cotopaxi fleece helps me look thin. Happy New Year, boys and girls. Yes. I am looking forward to telling more tales in

  • Hunter & Smith: Good Guys0

    As the anticipation of Christmas faded in the distance and the new year quickly approached, news media outlets filled their space with ‘lookbacks’ of 2025, which, in all too many instances, recalled a year filled with much tragedy and violence. As a “Webb Weekly” contributor since the first issue of the publication, those who read

  • Jigging0

    Jigging, no, I’m not about to expand on some kind of fancy dance move, but the term “jigging” is also a common term used to describe a technique frequently utilized by fishermen. Basically, the term “jigging” describes the movement of a bait or lure up and down while suspended at various depths. Many fishermen will

    I love this time of year. North Central PA is glowing. Fall brings us many vibrant colors. Changes are in the air. It is just a shame that it gets dark at 6 pm. This totally dampens my extracurricular activities. Yes. I am still coaching golf at Lycoming. The Warriors are making me look good.

    In Pursuit of Bass0

    Bass fishing and, in fact, fishing in general this year has been a bit of a challenge. High and often muddy water, combined with high temperatures, has made some fishing trips more challenging.

    The brilliant young jazz singer and pianist Jamie Cullum is perhaps best known for his haunting theme to Clint Eastwood’s movie Gran Torino; but I like Cullum’s “All at Sea” even better.
