I’m “almost” back…

The boat is in the water. A few open water fish were caught… but this little camper is taking up some time and energy. I’m also still on the teaching clock for a few more weeks.

More fish pics coming soon-ish.

Each year, I make a point of doing a social media detox. That break starts today.

I will continue to receive messages via Messenger, email, and my website if you need to get a hold of me.

See you this summer!

What an honour to receive the Gimli Chamber’s Award for Leadership in Diversity and Inclusion!

My little enterprise has always been about empowering people no matter who they are - to learn skills, be confident, and have fun.

This year the little shack saw dozens of women come out on the ice, we held the first Qu**rs & Beers event with great success, we had new Canadians step out on a frozen lake for the first time ever, mom’s taking their kids out to learn together, people going through treatment, and several seniors who could safely drive up and fish - amongst other participants. Making ice fishing accessible is a core belief and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve accomplished. None of it would be possible without the support of my wife, my helpers, and the partnerships I’ve built in this amazing town. THANK YOU ☺️

Thank you

(I still don’t know who nominated me - but thank you🙏)

It was the last ice fishing excursion with my buddy “Hey Jocelyne” aka for this ice season.

There were no fish but it was a great last excursion and a bit of an adventure. As always, there was lots of laughs and shenanigans to be had.

Get a shack, they said.
It will be fun, they said.

I promise you, the end of the season was far from “fun”.

There were many highlights this winter - but a very late start, flooding, perpetual cold, windstorms, cost increases, and other mishaps have made it a tough one for sure. Fingers crossed for a great summer and an easy-peezy season in 2027.

You know that time when Steve Martin saw his name in the phonebook 🤓 (you see kids, back in the olden days there was this book…)

Anyhoo! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for the mention in the beautiful 2026-2027 Inspo Guide!

There were a lot of highlights this short season. Taking my nephews out for their first ice fishing experience, having students choose to come to the shack and walking on ice for their first time, seeing a kid (or adult) catch a first fish, and seeing a whole lotta ladies get out on the lake.

Fishing had little to do with catching fish… I’ve always said that catching is a bonus, and what a bonus when it’s a Master Angler!

Feeling grateful for the nomination for Leadership in Diversity & Inclusion Award! 🙏 To the person who nominated me, thank you!

My business thrives on diversity, and I'm thrilled to welcome people from all walks of life participate.

I've been warmly welcomed in Gimli, and I'm proud of the relationships I've built. I'm happy to play a role in boosting the tourism and local economy during the off-season.
