I saw lots of critters but no bucks closer than 250 yards. … [Read more...]

Every other year there are billions of them. OK, not billions, but on even-numbered years on the Kanektok, our pink numbers are very, very large. They eat poppers. … [Read more...]

Poling Platforms – Why They Matter

Poling platforms for fishing on flats

by Deneki Outdoors These days, pretty much any modern skiff you see on the flats is going to have a poling platform on its stern. Why is that?
