Words You Never Want to Hear in a Duck Blind

January 25, 2012

So, it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog of any significance. I write the Northwest Outdoor Report every week, but other than that my blog writing time has been limited for a month plus. By what? You axe. The usual culprits. Fishing, hunting, preparing for our busy summer charter season in Alaska, and […]

Well, Are We Ready?

December 28, 2011

BY JEFF LUND. Are we standing on top of a grassy hill, fishing rods, hunting rifles, mountain bikes, ab-rollers, recycling bins and piggy banks raised above our collective heads, calling out “Freedom” like William Wallace, ready to attack the new year like “warrior poets”?

PEOPLE AND THE FISH THAT RESEMBLE THEM

June 19, 2011

Aside from having forgotten about more money than I'll ever see fashion mogul Donatella Versace looks to be about an exact replica of a grouper.

The 100 MPH Winds of Southeast Alaska

October 21, 2010

BY JEFF LUND. Since my local school district has more high school students than Alaska's Prince of Wales Island has residents it was no surprise few had heard of the 100-mile per hour gusts that knocked out power on the entire island, isolating it from mail and cutting ATM machines off from the money bags […]

When it comes to fishing, guarantee not to promise

May 21, 2010

By Jeff Lund. Making lists is the first step in missing the point, because it only increases the chances of looking back, judging based on check marks and failing to realize that life had its own plan and it would have been pretty great if you wouldn’t have been so preoccupied. Same goes for results. […]

Truck Fest Features Saltwater Fishing Seminars

April 2, 2010

I've made a lot of these flyers over the years and I'd have to say this one was the most enjoyable to put together. If the 100,000 square feet of custom trucks, four wheel drive accessories, and fishing seminars isn't enough to get you here…well, there's always Jocelyn Ireland. I'm thinking our new 15 passenger […]
