It was down at the Lakehurst Dam in Maquoketa. I have heard good things about the walleye bite above the dam (up towards Monticello) though. In years past, after a good flood down there, it seems to freshen things up a bit, as was the case last week. Growing up, walleye fishing wasn't...

I was back home in Eastern Iowa the week before Easter and decided to try some Walleye fishing with my dad and a friend of his. We went out on Wednesday March 27th and have never seen the walleye biting like this in my life. We hit the water around 1pm and not expecting many people to be...

To go along with Medic, The Wayne National Forest covers a lot of ground and is a popular public area for us in Southeast Ohio. Perry County has a good chunk of WNF. I've only hunted there a couple times, so I'm far far from an expert about it. There's a lot of public access, just need to find...

Let's try this again...

Went out the day after Christmas on a farm pond in Johnson County. We got on the ice around 12:30 and had pretty good luck. We caught maybe half dozen large mouth ranging from a few inches to 3 pounds, half dozen crappies, and a couple dozen gills. The bite was pretty steady. They wouldn't hit a...

I'm originally from Eastern Iowa, but moved out to Marietta after I finished college. I met my wife here and have set up shop in Good Ol' Southeastern Ohio. Beautiful area. It reminds me a lot of Dubuque and many of the Mississippi River towns. And thanks for the info. I was affraid it was...

I am heading back to Iowa for a week or so starting next week and was hoping to get out on the river and run some lines for a couple days. Word is that river levels are pretty low and not fit for a boat in some areas. Wondering if anyone had any insight on the Cedar River in Lynn County.

To add to it....Technically, whoever's tag is being put on the deer has to be the one tagging it, meaning that it is illegal to carry someone else's tag. If I was to tag a deer I shot with someone else's tag, and the DNR stopped to check, and the tag owner is on the other side of the field...

I suppose I will add another one to the mix. A few years back, my brother and I were ice fishing on a farm pond. It was a windy, miserable day so we set up our ice hut. As with most trips on the ice, we bought a bottle of blackberry brandy to keep our spirits up. We both stepped out of the...

My avatar is a Jones County shotgun from 2003.

A few years ago, I was pheasant hunting with my brother and a friend of his. We were hunting a bunch of land around Central City (I had never been there before). There was a stretch of 3 or 4 cornfields and CRP we had permission to hunt in the afternoon. We parked my truck at one end and took...

When I was 13 years old, my neighbor and his buddy took me out for my first ever turkey hunt. After a long morning of sitting and calling, we moved to another location. We set up on the edge of the timber looking into a creek bottom. We had a hen decoy set up in the clearing. There was a...

Nice Work Buddy! Good to see you were finally able to dust of the keyboard and enlighten us with another great story. Hopefully it won't be another 5 years before we read another one. And by the way, your hunting attire sounds a lot like Skip putting on his "waders" to go fishing at the dam.
