Tags, tags and more tags!

No, this isn't about tagging fish - it's about this website.  Over the past year, you may have noticed green "tags" at the bottom of my reports.  Most of you probably know, that with a WordPress website like this, I can tag articles/reports as reference...

Cross Lake 6/4 + Owasco Lake 6/5 – 6/6

Cross Lake 6/4:  Got out on Cross Lake for the first time I'm guessing in 7 or 8 years.  I had an email from an angler asking me about gar flies.  He'd seen good numbers of gar in an area on the Seneca River, so...

Otisco Lake 8/20 – 21

Got out for two days (despite the threatening weather) with "Bobberman Perry" (whom I would like to rechristen "Catman Perry" but I don't think that nickname will fly) and his friend Dave. Those of you familiar with my reports know that when they come out...

Sodus Bay 6/1

Did a full day again with Jim from California/Alaska. After seeing the diverse habitats available on Cayuga Lake Jim was interested in checking on some freshwater drum (and gar) fishing at Sodus Bay. I let Jim know that the drum population in Sodus Bay/Lake Ontario...

Otisco Lake 7/18 + Seneca/Sampson 7/19

Otisco Lake 7/18: Got out with my buddy Jarrod at 5:30 am. We worked our musky lures hard, mainly on the north end of the lake. Didn't have a hit or follow. We worked the south end and Jarrod had a 25" fish grab his swimbait,...
