A trip to the shore to fish for the numerous kinds of saltwater fish is

    Lately, the world seems like a crazy and chaotic place. Every day there is some new disaster, attack, or crisis.

  • Neglected Battery Causes Lost Fishing Day0

    Mike O'Brien

    The fishing day began with hope and expectations. It would end quite differently, terminated much sooner than anticipated. I was fishing The Susquehanna River on this chilly mid-November morning. No other boats were present; no other fishermen willing to tolerate the 35-degree air temperature. The forecast: light wind, partly sunny, and climbing thermometer held promise.

    Mike O'Brien

    Atlantic salmon fishing can hardly be described as predictable. The fish first must arrive.

    Jim Webb

    The third Saturday in October can mean just one thing in these parts — the Mummers’ Parade in Southside. Hard for me to believe this year marks the 72nd anniversary of the Autumn event.

    Fish long enough and you’ll experience nature in a variety of ways — unfamiliar, unexpected, and unbelievable.
