With the New Year underway, I can officially put a wrap on the 2024 outdoor adventures with my annual series of recap posts. Over the course of another year of hiking, biking, rowing, and trolling, I amassed a great deal of notes, stats, pictures, and video. Many of the details hit the blog in the regular fishing reports or random rambles but there were plenty of items that wound up lost in the shuffle or needed editing. In addition, others required final tallies to provide an overall assessment of a year on the water.

Therefore, as 2025 progresses, I am working on a batch of posts to recap another fulfilling year outdoors. Coming your way as I work through the Cabin Fever months are a series of 2024 recaps. Among the batch of posts will be the announcement of our 2024 Top 5 Champ as well as a look at the all-time Top 5 Stats. There will also be an in-depth look at the 2024 fishing stats from my most productive year ever of bass fishing in terms of quantity. I also hope to post some loose ends that were missed over the last couple of years and get some video edited to accompany the words and pictures. Finally, I intend to take another stroll down Memory Lane with the forty-year anniversary of a habit that played a major role in the creation of this blog. That habit also led to your current investment of a few minutes of your day to read these rambles.

Stay tuned as I hit the ground writing and recapping while also looking forward to what 2025 outdoors has to offer. Talk to you later. Troy
