    Up North With Gary Talarico – October 2011

    Black & White Maple Leaf

    I sit here glancing out the window of my office. It seems to me trees are changing from luscious greens to beautiful shades of reds, oranges and yellows. Just before my eyes Fall is here. I must say it is my favorite time of the year. All the outdoor lovers’ activities are in full swing or soon will be.

    The fishing in October is remarkable, with salmon, trout, walleye, perch, pike and even cisco waiting ~Read More~

    Reflections on Fall

    Fall Leaves

    I love the fall. There is sooo much for the sportsman when the leaves are falling. I am so excited I just got one of those shudders. The twitch you get from holding a really fine fishing combo or that gorgeous gun you have always wanted and now it’s yours. I mean it is kinda like when your woman cooks up an excellent meal, gives out a little shoulder rub and gives you one of those ~Read More~

    Gary Fish Finder

    I want an avatar, that mythical carbon copy of myself. It would be great. Just think how cool that would be. “Honey, what chores on my list will you be working on today?” would be answered with what females love to hear “what ever you want!”. While Gary Avatar slaves away cutting the grass, cleaning the basement or painting the sewing room, Gary Fish Finder could be out drowning some worms or makin’ ~Read More~

    Notice His Unique Fishing Method & Location of His Tackle :-)

    No matter where you looked this weekend you saw something consistent throughout the show. Regardless of age or gender, or what outdoor activity brought you to the show, or whether you were an exhibitor or attendee, you eventually ended up wearing one, if not many, of these. It didn’t matter the time of day, what you had on, what side of the table you were occupying or whether you were giving or appreciating a ~Read More~

    17th Annual Ice Fishing & Winter Sports Show – Day 4 December 6, 2009

    Gary Talarico | Ted Takasaki

    Aimee & I rolled out slow on this fine morn – it just felt like the kind of day you ease into. After all it was Sunday. Those devoted to the “religion” known as ice fishing were at the doors at 10 am, ready to check out all that was new in the industry, learn new techniques and run into their fellow parishioners.

    We chose this day to walk around and check out what was ~Read More~

    Gary Deer Yodeling

    This was one strange firearm deer season here in Michigan. The lack of snow in November was unusual and not really a good thing for most hunters after the wily whitetail deer. Deer just do not seem to be active in this kind of weather. The worse the weather gets it seems the more they move in search of food.

    How they handle hungry deer elsewhere…..

    I must admit it was kinda nice hunting without heavy outerwear. It’s not ~Read More~

    Wow. It’s fall up here in the north woods. I saw red leaves falling. It gave me the shivers for a second. I had a flashback to snow shovel in hand, shivering. Up here in the Upper Peninsula it was the summer of no summer. It was generally cool or wet or both. I do look forward to the fall activities though. Grouse and squirrel hunting. Fantastic fall fishing. Bow deer season. Turkey hunting. ~Read More~

    Up North with Gary Talarico – August 2009

    August has arrived up here in the Upper Peninsula with a whimper as far as the weather is concerned. It’s not been very warm and few sunny days. That is only a bad thing for the gardens and sunbathers though. Fishing has been reported to be excellent about everywhere.

    On the big lakes Michigan and Huron the trout and salmon have been slammin’ the lures. The guys at Flintstone Lures called me recently really excited. One of ~Read More~

    Up North with Gary Talarico - July 2009

    We finally have Summer weather up here in the Upper Peninsula.  It was late coming and the Fall will be here too soon. The great news is the blackflies are GONE.  There is one pesky bug, however, the mosquitoes.  Now the only annoyance is the skeeters but they are fightable.  DEET, a brisk wind, the smoke off a campfire or amazingly, laundry dryer sheets help with the assault on those winged bloodsuckers. ~Read More~
