  • Former Pro Soccer Coach Connects Athletes and College Teams0

    Dave Bellomo

    For most young athletes, playing a sport at the college level is their dream. However, getting noticed by college coaches and recruiters today takes more than simply being good at a sport. Often, athletes — even stars — coming from small towns never get on the radar of the teams they would like to play

  • Staying Comfortable in Cold Weather0

    Ken Hunter

    Winter will soon be upon us, and for some, that means holing up in the house, sitting next to a nice warm fireplace, sipping a cup of coffee, and watching a favorite TV show. While I might occasionally engage in that activity, like many other folks, I will also spend time hunting and fishing through

  • It’s Not Just Hunting Season0

    Ken Hunter

    That’s right; it’s not just hunting season, but it’s also one of the best times of the year to chalk up some good fishing as well. The fall days offer some great fishing opportunities for a variety of different fish species, and trout should be included in that list. I know most of us think

    Before we get started this week, shout out to Jimmy for giving up his space this week! I am running a little (OK, a lot) long this week and appreciate the extra leg room for this story. By now, we all know that I am pretty infamous for the Uncompleted Fall Bucket List. I have

    Guests and fish. Ben Franklin famously said that both stink after three days, which could be correct. You love having visitors. You also love when they go home, and who could blame you? Your space is your space and, well, that’s it. Still, there are times when, for many reasons, you buck up and launder

  • Embracing the Outdoors0

    Ken Hunter

    I’m guessing that it’s a sign that I’m getting older, but I sometimes find myself thinking about some of the great experiences I’ve enjoyed over the years simply because of my interest in the outdoors. My friends and I will also sometimes talk about the enjoyment and great experiences we’ve had while being in the

    As the cover date reads 9/11, I want to begin this week with my thoughts and prayers for the families and all those affected by the tragic events of 9/11. The number of Americans lost that day continues to climb as a result of the toxic dust breathed in on-site. The 9/11 Memorial Ride, my

    My articles are submitted on Friday. My lovely editor has everything else finished, and she is patiently waiting. I do my best not to leave her hanging. I have been on a roll here lately.

    I have to start the week with a correction and apology. We always do our absolute best to ensure that all the information we put out is correct, but sometimes the internet gets us. Last week, we noted that the Lock Haven Jaycees work in conjunction with the Lock Haven Boat Regatta Foundation to organize

  • Fishing Deep0

    Ken Hunter

    The other morning, while having coffee, the subject of fishing deep came up. Now, I know that it’s hard to believe that something involving fishing would come up with a bunch of guys having morning coffee, but it does happen from time to time. One of the guys just returned from a few days of

  • Maybe Some Trout Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    Obviously, the recent weather pattern has had no mercy on those of us who want to pursue a little fishing. You might be alright on a lake, but the streams and the Susquehanna River need some time to recuperate. I spent the latter part of last week at a cabin on the banks of Kettle

    Ken Hunter

    I suspect some people are looking at the title of this story and thinking, “You don’t have to tell me it’s snake season; I already know that they are in my yard!” I’ll admit that I’ve always been intrigued by snakes. As a young kid growing up, I loved to go out and catch snakes

  • What’s My Line?0

    Ken Hunter

    The weather conditions have made fishing trips a little more challenging lately — hot sunny days often followed up with stormy and windy conditions. Not only can such conditions make sitting in a boat on a lake all day harder to endure, but hot, sunny days can decrease fish activity, and high winds can make

  • Heatwave Largemouth Bass0

    Ken Hunter

    When you look at the passionate fishing crowd out there, you can break them down into three broad categories: the “cold water” crowd, those that pursue “warm water” fish, and probably the biggest group composed of those of us who will fish for almost anything at any time of the year. The cold-water crowd or

    Like a lot of people who live out here in rural Pennsylvania, I enjoy seeing the great variety of wildlife that roam our woods and fields. But all too often, that wildlife chooses to cross a road with fatal results. Unlike a lot of other critters, turtles and snakes, unfortunately, are often too slow to

    Ken Hunter

    As we outdoor enthusiasts move into the hot mid-summer days, we may still be doing some fishing, but it’s not likely that shooting a rifle is high on our list of activities. Sure, as we move into the fall months, the deer rifles come out, and we head for the target range to make sure

    It’s summer, and the kids are out of school, and a lot of them are no doubt looking for something to do; unfortunately, a lot of that time these days is spent working a keypad. When I think back to those grade school and junior high school days, we didn’t have gadgets with keypads, and

    It was brought to my attention. I now have three hundred articles with Webb Weekly. I am sure there are several more. But these three hundred submissions are archived. That makes me smile.

  • It’s Time for Some Bass Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    Summer is well underway, and so is the bass fishing. If it’s smallmouth bass you are after, you are probably better off fishing the river or large streams, and if largemouth bass is your main target, a lake or pond is a good choice. That’s not to say you can’t catch smallmouths in a lake

    Teaching the Art of Fishing0

    Ken Hunter

    Teaching people how to fish may seem like a very simple procedure to some; after all, the only thing you have to do is put a worm on a hook, throw it in the water, and watch for the bobber to go under. To be honest, that simple maneuver does indeed catch fish, but the
