Destin.ZapGuide.org is Users' Connection to Everything Destin - in an Instant

The city of Destin is a vibrant and vital community, yet to many it is still a well kept secret. The renowned Fodors.com website features only three restaurants in their 2009 Destin review! Navigating typical yellow pages type directory sites also yields incomplete and inaccurate information. The creators of Destin.ZapGuide.org think Destin deserves better - particularly in light of Florida's Emerald Coast having just been named as the only continental US location among "Frommer's Top Destinations 2010".

Fishing in the Winter
This article is from about five years ago. Things have not changed much since then, other than the fact I no longer have a chat room here. I wrote about fishing lake Sinclair in the winter back then and catching one bass in a club tournament. I fished Sinclair yesterday working on a Georgia Outdoor News article and landed one keeper. At least I am consistent!

Hunting & Shooting Quick Tips From a Life-Long Hunter

A lifetime of hunting has taught me a few things, and every now and then I get smart enough to put some of them down in writing. Dad taught me that learning is a lifelong process, and as usual, he was right... so I'm going to keep on learning.

Meanwhile, I'll do my best to share my knowledge with others, just like Dad always did. He was always willing to help, always in the most practical way. Therefore, I've condensed some of my most important hunting lessons into handy little tips that are easy to read, easy to remember, and won't take much time out of your busy day.

Megabass Vision One Ten Jerkbait
I bought four of these expensive jerkbaits and the first one I used broke on the second fish I caught. They have great action and flash but are developing a reputation for being fragile. At $25 each they are too expensive to use if they do not hold up any better than this one did. The picture shows the one that broke - the bill is missing.

North Florida Deer Hunt

Time sure flies when you're having fun! It's been almost six years since this hunt, and it sure doesn't seem that long ago. As long as the cold rain was falling, I kept seeing deer... and it rained most of the time...

Jim tries out the Wii Rapala Fishing Frenzy game and finds some good things about it, but has some concerns, too. He really enjoys the challenge it offers and the fun it provides, but worries it gives and unrealistic view of fishing.

Hunting Game Review: Deer Drive for Wii

Deer Drive for the Nintendo Wii console is less about hunting and more about shooting. You definitely do a lot of shooting! In fact, it often feels like an electronic shooting gallery. It does have some twists that have a little something to do with hunting, but they're more confusing than anything else. For example, "Breath Control" slows down time. Um... why? That hardly ever happens in real life.
