THIRTYARDS About
I believe that bass fishing is about coastal experiences. So much of the fish is about the places where and when we find them. The things we see hear and smell on the way, there and back.

In your view, does the new regulation do justice to the holistic understanding of “sustainable tourism” as used in academia? Denmark’s coastlines have… Read More

Any angler who has regularly pursued either fish has their own technique or methodology for working through this mental challenge. And let’s be clear, it is a tremendous challenge.
