Ate Up with Ole Freckles

Let’s Talk Fishing Ole Buddy!

I'm supposed to write something fancy here. Me and fancy get along about as well as Raiders fans and basic human hygiene (go Broncos!)—two things that just don't mix. But inside these pages, I hope we can learn together, talk all things fishing, and have a damn good time doing it!

I came up in an era when you were simply a fisherman. That's it. None of this species-specific nonsense, and God help you if you identified as a particular kind of fisherman. On this site, you'll find me diving into every aspect of fishing, from dry flies for pinkies-out trout to throwing big swimbaits for bass. There's a time and a place for all things fishing, and, damn it, we're here for all of it!

Follow me so we can fight on social-media!

The highs and lows of life ole buddy. This kick in the junk Facebook memory popped up yesterday. The vision I had for MHFM was as pure as a couple toddlers belly laughing at a loud fart. We hit the ground running building a buzz that came to a cres
Come talk fishing with us and try to beat one of the Allee’s in a cast off! We’ll have show exclusives on juice I won’t share anywhere else, not that I’m fish info hoarder or anything but most of the time I’m too busy fi
The only way I could raise the level of fish catching mojo in my office any higher is if it was on the water! Dream fishing, wake up work fishing, food break/fish, back to work fishing, get home tackle prep, sleep. Wake up with the privilege to do it
Smoker ain’t gonna fill itself! While winter is taking her sweet ass time, scoping the abyss for trout has been a blast! BFS set up with a Geecrack Bellows Stick on a ball head. Sniping fish meandering around the surface over 50-80 FOW. Overk

“I think I fish, in part, because it's an anti-social, bohemian business that, when gone about properly, puts you forever outside the mainstream culture without actually landing you in an institution.”
