    About this ebook

    Brad and Vicky, two teenagers frolicking through the summer in a Lake Michigan beach town, indulge their adventurous impulses and hike up Kolson Creek. Local legend has it an aging wizard lives up there. Some even claim to have seen him, and the ones that really have are changed forever. They say the wizard has magic. They say he can grant wishes. But of course, that's just an old wives' tale...

      The Rod That Changed Bass Fishing

      Feb 21, 2022

      IT WAS A rod you probably don’t know about from a company that you do. It didn’t change bass fishing by bursting onto the scene with wild, far-reaching, big-money acclaim. No, it was unheralded and forgotten in its own time. Still is. But it did alte

      FOR SOME, THE BUSTLE of the city is the ideal backdrop for summer fun. Movies, shopping, baseball games, or whatever else might be afforded in a metropolis providing all manner of diversions. For others, an afternoon stroll along the beach in a small town is the epitome of relaxation. The latter is what was enticing about Fort Abernathy, Michigan, when Brad Nolan’s family moved there.

      Brad’s father, Tony, had gotten an opportunity to relocate when his firm in Chicago got an opening in their branch in Traverse City. The smaller branches had a lower turnover, so it was a chance he didn’t want to pass up. Their life in Chicago wasn’t the worst they could envision, by far, but Tony and his wife, Diane, knew they’d prefer the quieter pace of northwestern Michigan. Both for them as a couple and to expose Brad to a different environment before he was grown and out of the house.

Relocating meant tearing away from his high school network, and he was a popular kid, so that was significant. At the same time, he’d been up the Michigan coast more than once in his life, and he loved it. He was not dreading the small-town coastal scene.
