Bear with me as we dwell into a little bit of my childhood. Growing up in Homestead,I was blessed with many areas to fish and many different ecosystems to explore. As a young child I have vivid memories of the smell of chum and the old two stroke Mercury 150 that was on the back of my family’s 22 foot […]
Back to the Basics
Mid Winter Warm ups
January and february in Indiana is cold as a witches titty. The weather is very unpredictable. Some years we get no snow, and some years we get puked on.

We arrived in Tarpon Springs around 8 am, dropped the boat in, and […]

My little nephew thought it be cool to keep him around until someone around the neighborhood claimed him. Luckily enough my Mother did not […]
Last Minute Mission Pt.2
It’s Been several weeks since our trip and memories seem to flow through my dreams like the tides we found ourselves in the hours before we set off on our second leg. The truck was loaded and the wind was calming my unsteady stomach. Minutes later we found ourselves parked outside of the Hells Bay canoe trail. I’ve never seen […]
