Dove aiming for return to Classic

Tunin’ up for Oneida

I just spent a few days with the family kickin’ back at Torch Lake near Traverse City, Mich., a place where the smallmouth grow big and keep you on edge. It was a laid-back family vacation but I still had Oneida on my mind.

Are we in trouble?

I’m writing this as a concerned man. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) told me they counted 183 dead smallmouth bass in Dale Hollow Lake today.

Football and fishing

Don Barone catches up with University at Buffalo starting offensive lineman Andre Davis and Head Football Coach Jeff Quinn, a man who lives by what he calls the five “Fs” — Faith, Family, Football, Fun ... and Fishing.
