Since this allowed for a behind-the-scenes experience, I must add a few things that made an impact on me and are important to me. First, the entire Jackson operation is top-notch. They are a family-friendly company and entirely US based. Their kindness and helpfulness were striking. And they really care about their ...

The most amazing thing about the ever-popular Alabama Rig, or A-rig as we shall call it, is the fact that it is extraordinarily easy to manufacture. Nothing more than a glorified umbrella rig, the A-rig consists of little more than wire, swivels, and snaps. It is merely a new means to present old baits. As the next installment in my series of articles on the A-rig, this How to Make an Alabama Rig will put the power of the A-rig ...

Early catches by power boaters show the truth of that theory. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate, and the wind and rain won’t keep kayak anglers off the water. I see many questions about the current and whether a kayak is safe to get out on the ...

Americans often criticize Detroit, reflecting a history of significant challenges. Once a prosperous hub, the city has been severely affected by job outsourcing, political corruption, racial tensions, and suburban migration. These factors have collectively contributed to its economic and social decline, making Detroit a symbol of urban struggle in the United States. In my hometown, when the subway is running late, you’ll often hear someone say, “Well, it could be worse: it’s not Detroit.” People will even ding Detroit in ...
