Random Adventure

So a couple of weeks ago my wife and I were on a bus from Hot Springs to Hot Springs Village on our way to the company golf tournament. In the middle of what felt like nowhere, we both spotted a really neat campground that appeared to have a creek near it. Fast forward a couple …

Fishless Adventures

I firmly believe that when you are “stuck on the bank” there are just so many spots that look like they would be amazing if you just had a boat and could get over there. There are so many places that I want to visit with the Adventure Galley because I remember thinking about how …

Fish On

For all the aspects about fishing that you can analyze and tweak it always comes down to getting the fish to bite your bait. Whether you are throwing a hot dog out with a bobber on a Zebco 33 or tying a Wooly Bugger on your Sage it’s really all about that bite and the …

The Adventure Galley

I know, I know, I’m really stretching it with the whole post a week commitment. The struggle with writing content is that I’d rather be out there adventuring! So taking the time to sit down and write about something just isn’t a ton of fun. I would much rather be… You get the idea. I …

First Kayak Acquired

I’ve talked about kayaking here in the past and I’ve had my eyes on a fishing kayak for a long time. My oldest son has also expressed interest in kayaking, but not so much in fishing from a kayak. He’s not opposed to the idea, but he prefers to fish from the bank for now. …

Searching for a Kayak

I have to think that most anglers who stand at the threshold of leaving the bank forever behind feel a sense of awe and wonder at their first watercraft. Whether it’s a new or used flat bottom Jon boat, a v-hull, full on bass boat rig, or just a kayak or canoe, the realization that you won’t …

What’s Cooler Than Cool?

Ice cold: Like single digit cold. We don’t typically get down to the single digits here in the Natural State, so when I said “Baby It’s Cold Outside” I wasn’t wrong but it wasn’t THIS cold! These temps are a stark contrast to the majority of days we had over the holidays. Speaking of, I …

The 2018 Project

2017 was a really good year overall. There were a lot of ups and downs along the way, but overall it was a really good year. Personally, I feel like there were a lot of things that I should have accomplished, but they just got pushed to the back burner. This happens all the time and …

It’s cold outside…

Winter is setting in here in Arkansas. Granted, hitting 32 degrees is nothing compared to folks further up north, but it’s a chill for me. I’ve been thinking a lot about layering and trying to plan a good hike just to get outside again. I’ve put the first trail review out, you can read the BSA …
