    Snowmeggedon0

    Jamie Spencer

    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

    Ken Hunter

    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

    Ken Hunter

    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

  • The Roving Sportsman… Wintertime Reading0

    Jon Pries

    First, there are the snowbirds. You know them, the ones who abandon our state and head south for the winter. And then there is you and me. The brave ones, who buckle up, hunker down, batten down the hatches, and grit their teeth in defiance as the winter weather descends upon us, bringing the Arctic

    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. A part-time mobile freelancer only gets the call when someone bails. I have done this before, but I am still a novice. I love these opportunities.

    Jamie Spencer

    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

    Scott Lowery

    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

    Ken Hunter

    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

    Merry Christmas. My full-time gig is with Susquehanna Marble and Granite. There is never a dull moment. I have been with the company for eight great seasons. I have been exposed to every facet of the countertop business. I am not the strongest, and our rocks are super heavy. I tend to break stuff, and

    Merry Christmas to you and your family! My wife and I have officially navigated all the Christmas parties and holiday get-togethers, and now we’re excited to slow down, relax, and celebrate the holiday with family. This year looked a little different for us. It was a bit more challenging at times, but it was also

    Ken Hunter

    What’s “Wow Time?” Walk on water time. That’s right, another ice fishing season is underway, and the gang is out walking on the hard water in search of an assortment of fish. I haven’t been out yet, but I know that there are people out on several area lakes, and I’m hoping to join them

    Penn State is still looking. The Nittany Lions decided to fire longtime coach James Franklin back in October. The fans and alumni were furious. It was a bold move. And unfortunately, AD Pat Kraft has not found a replacement. Many of the candidates have used this opportunity to land extensions at their existing schools. The

    With the recent arrival of our first snowfall of the season, we are gently reminded that Christmas Day is a mere two weeks away!

    Most of you know how much I love Halloween. I think it’s such a fun holiday and a chance to feel like a kid again. I just want to be very clear, though, that it is not my favorite holiday. Christmas will always be my favorite, but Halloween comes in at the top three right

    Dave Bellomo

    While I mentioned previously that I am not Pennsylvania-born, I have lived in PA most of my life and have made it my home. Also, as someone who has traveled across much of this country, I can say definitively that the countryside in our region is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the US.

    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.

    I know this time of year, most of the outdoor gang is gravitating towards the various hunting seasons, but for those of us who also include fishing in our outdoor adventures, this is still a good time to hit the water. I’ll admit that the fishing opportunities have been a little tough late this summer

    Over the years, Jean has made the same remark many times. “Aren’t we lucky we have made so many friends and had so many good times through the involvement we’ve had with sports?” Each time, I shake my head in agreement. Sports have been a constant in my life since I was a youngster, and

    Hello, West Branch Valley and beyond! As I drove to the office early Friday morning, I was looking for a little inspiration to lead me to my column. I just felt like we all needed a little change of direction equivalent to one of Saquon Barkley’s amazing cuts on a Sunday afternoon. As I looked

    There’s a reason I started writing these weekly articles. I wanted to speak to the older generation, my generation, and the younger generation all at once.

    I must have been bitten by the “travel bug” at an early age. I have always been a wanderer, frequently daydreaming about my next quest or next travel and adventure destination. My years in the Air Force and then in a career as an airline pilot only compounded my lust for travel. Now, in my

    Ken Hunter

    OK, I’ll admit it; I absolutely enjoy fishing, especially when there is a lot of catching going on while I’m in the process of fishing. And like many fishermen, over the years, I’ve developed some favorite techniques, lures, and equipment choices. When I was still in school, I was taught how to catch trout with

    The Little League World Series is off and running. A few days in, and we are all smiling. Some of the pitching performances have been outstanding. Much love to the boys from South Dakota.

    In Pursuit of Bass0

    Ken Hunter

    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. I think I began to realize the effects of the warmer temperatures a few weeks ago when my wife and I struck

    Joseph W. Smith III

    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. (Billy Joel fans who unexpectedly saw Cullum open for Joel at State College in 2014 got to hear this gem performed live.) Anyway
