Your time is now

From the second you entered this world, your time just started. Ever second you are here, it’s your time. It’s your time to do what ever you want, whenever you want. Truthfully, you can do what ever you want with your time here. The way you use your time on this earth can dictate how fulfilling it may be. You could waste your life away or make life what you always wanted it to be, it’s a choice of effort. Everyone has their own picture of what they want their life to look like. No one can dictate success for anyone else. Success is an inner feeling that gives a person a sense of satisfaction on where life is at and where it is going. Success doesn’t have a fine set of Principles that must fit a check list to be considered, “successful”.

Success isn’t an end point, it’s a journey. A lot of people believe success is this concrete end point and if we don’t reach it we can label our attempts as unsuccessful. The truth is, the end point is always something to chase, but the journey is what we should embrace. So many people give up simply because their definition of success  is farther away then others, and to that I say walk harder! If your end point is years in the making, embrace your journey. Even if you chase that end point for your whole life and never made it, you successfully chased a dream with intentions to complete and I respect that way more than some easy pathway success story. The amount of successful people who were built off other people’s hard work and efforts is staggering, but the amount of people who built their own story with a dream to chase, well that special. If you are chasing a dream, and I mean CHASING a dream, then hats off to you. You’re going to be successful.

Life is as good as you make it guys, make it something great

A Day on the River

Image
Why did I choose this topic as the foundation for this blog? I figured since this is my first post I’d like to give a little insight into the life on the river. A day on the river involves much more than a day waiting for fish to bite. Many times, the day starts well before sun rise. The Hardest Part of the Day                  At 5:00 am the horrid sound of an alarm set to high volume chimes. This is the hardest part of the day. Every time, I drag myself out of bed and contemplate sleeping in for just a few more minutes. After a battle with myself to wake up, I always start the morning by cooking my Lawn Boy signature 5-star meal: unseasoned chicken with boiled noodles, covered in the cheapest tomato sauce you can find. Believe me, it tastes great… but apparently my buddies say it doesn’t have the most beautiful aroma. My meals are made, my gear is loaded, and I head out the door. A typical morn...

Flood Stage

As most people know, with the recent rain and run off most rivers and streams are experiencing flood stage water levels. fisherman hope for coming rain and warm weather to induce the push of migratory steelhead. A little bit of rain and run off is a good thing but a lot of rain and runoff isn't. In the past week, rivers like the Manistee, Rifle river, Meskegon river, White river, Kalamazoo river,  and the Grand river all are experience extreme floods. With an inch-two of rain that fell over nearly the whole state, combined with the plentiful snow amounts and a frozen ground preventing filtration the odds of a flash flood were very high. Why are floods good? Floods and higher water conditions not only clear out reminding shelf ice in some rivers but the rising water levels and temperatures trigger a fish's response to swim up into a river in search of spawning grounds which they either spawn on or hold in the river to await optimum water temperatures for their spawning ritu...

The River Experience

Winter warm up Last weekend, Michigan went from a frozen tundra to a warm beautiful sunny weekend. Nothing beats a warm day after months of freezing temperatures and a depressing lack of sun exposure. To cure the winter blues I headed out for my weekly fishing excursion. The best thing about a warm-up is the fact you can wake up and not have to sit In a partially frozen automobile, hoping you won’t crash due to the lack of visibility. You can almost wake up and smell the excitement going around. The birds, the squirrels and even the people seem to be energized by this beautiful weather. What I like the most about a warm-up is the fact the fish love it too. My journey took me to the Pere Marquette River In search of winter steelhead. In my last blog post, I discussed the experience of fighting fish but lacked the description of the atmosphere of a river. The atmosphere of the river is almost what fishermen feed off of. Something about the how the sun feels extra toasty...
