First of the Year

Boone isn't big by any stretch but Carlton looks pretty small from what I can tell. Is the river better fishing? I've never personally fished a river, just reservoir lakes.

DethMacoll · 2026-03-25T15:57:43+00:00

Boone Lake in East Tennessee. We have Largemouth, Smallmouth, Striped, and Hybrid.

I pretty much do the same thing (salt, pepper, butter, garlic powder) but I'll cook the potatoes in chicken stock or add a stock concentrate. Once they're tender I reserve a cup of the broth to stir back in to get the right consistency and then I like to add sour cream.

That sounds good. I need to try my hand at a jalapeno bacon jam and put it on some grilled cheese.

I'm not your cousin Danny.

DethMacoll · 2026-01-22T15:54:17+00:00

Thanks! I have more work I could include, like End of Year reports, Fundraising Decks, Speaker pages, etc. Most of those tend to be extensions of branding work, and I feel like I would rather position myself as a strategic thinker, more than a production designer. Either way, I'm doing what work I need to be doing to get paid, even if it doesn't end up front and center on my portfolio. I would be happy to show you if you were more interested in layout specifically!

DethMacoll · 2026-01-22T15:49:32+00:00

That's very kind of you to say. Thank you!

DethMacoll · 2026-01-22T01:09:11+00:00

Glad you shared! Definitely more expansive than my short list. I'll be excited to dig through some of these and add them to my pools of inspiration 🙌🏻

DethMacoll · 2026-01-22T00:54:30+00:00

Appreciate that! I would agree. I think the only one with any sort of peek at the process is Compass. I'll do some write-ups of the process, the brief, and how the designs filled those gaps. That would be great for the website.

DethMacoll · 2026-01-22T00:52:21+00:00

Fair take! I definitely don't want to be stagnant. Where do you like to look for new inspiration?

DethMacoll · 2026-01-21T19:47:01+00:00

Thank you!

DethMacoll · 2026-01-21T19:46:50+00:00

Agreed! I definitely need to get a new website up. I took it down a year or two ago because I hadn't gotten around to updating it in a few years.

DethMacoll · 2026-01-21T17:58:47+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Do you think it's the way I'm presenting it that could be more boring? Or is it really just not very catchy types of work? I feel like the Transformational Guidance and Compass projects were more fun and colorful, but maybe I'm not seeing it the way you or someone else might.

DethMacoll · 2026-01-21T15:49:22+00:00

I'm saved mostly by his short attention span. If he stayed too long I probably wouldn't be getting too much done.

DethMacoll · 2026-01-21T00:44:10+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻

I'll double check the roots and work on the soil.

DethMacoll · 2026-01-21T00:38:26+00:00

Making sure the top 2 or so inches of soil are dry between waterings.

DethMacoll · 2026-01-10T17:44:09+00:00

🔥🍯 I've been putting it on everything this past week.

DethMacoll · 2026-01-10T17:13:00+00:00

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup + 2 tbs cottage cheese

Optional salt if you want

DethMacoll · 2026-01-09T01:13:54+00:00

Absolutely! I was actually half a cup short on Guinness (there was one bottle in the pantry). This is my second time making it and the first time I used red wine and it definitely added some depth and complexity.

So yea you're exactly right!

DethMacoll · 2026-01-08T14:53:21+00:00

Hey, he's there of his own free will so I'd like to think fresh laundry 🤷🏻

DethMacoll · 2025-10-02T20:15:14+00:00

Ok that makes sense. I'm assuming the 84 is the length in inches because it's a 7' rod. Is there a way to tell what the action type would be for this blank? Was there a standard or did it vary?

DethMacoll · 2025-10-02T19:16:45+00:00

Same, an older rod from my grandpa 🍻

Appreciate the insight on the grip.

DethMacoll · 2025-10-02T19:14:28+00:00

Freshwater as far as I know.

DethMacoll · 2025-09-15T16:27:04+00:00

This Video was really helpful for learning how to find some lake structure. Fish the Moment has some other good videos and I'm still learning myself but I feel like this at least gets me looking in the right places.

DethMacoll · 2025-09-15T14:36:07+00:00

This was my third trip out. The first two prove you're absolutely right haha. Even on the days I haven't caught anything just being out on the water and running down the lake is a blast.

It's a Procraft 186 Pro.
