I’ve been home in Texas for a few weeks and I’m still on island time. The trip to the Bahamas came and went in the blink of an eye, but the memories are forever engrained in my mind.
Bahamas Hangover Part I
Key West Tarpon Season
First and foremost I would like to take this opportunity to thank Vince and the Team at Skinny Water Culture for asking me to be a contributor to the Skinny Water Culture Blog. I’ve been following these guys on Instagram for a while now and have seen some of their products at the March Merkin Permit Tournament held here in […]
Gramps got the Big Fish
Woke up today with some horrible back pains and had no intention on fishing. As I made my way to the kitchen to grab a pain reliever , my grampa asked me if I wanted to fish? I couldn’t say no due to the fact that my grampa is always working. He is the hardest working person I know, and is always […]
SWC Bahamas Trip 2013
Well, another year, another badass trip to the Bahamas. We had a great week with some great company. I miss it already, and am anxiously awaiting our return. The Bahamas is a special place…. boarding the plane in Miami and heading east is as close to going back in time as you can get. The flats are filled with all […]
SWC Bahamas….Don’t Even Bother Asking Which Island.
The last trip across the Atlantic gulf stream left me wanting more. Mostly just weather that didn’t resemble Canada. No offense Canadians. Luckily, another trip had been in the works for some time. When I saw this was a glimpse of what mother nature would provide, the juices started flowing. Logistically, it was another DIY trip. 8 good friends, two […]
Little Cayman Island
As i start to prepare myself and gear to leave Little Cayman after almost 10 years im trying to put into words my experiences here, but i think the cliché “A picture is worth a thousand words” fits pretty well for this post. So here are a “few” of my shots from my time on this little island in the western Caribbean.
Coastal Conservation Association
I’d like to thank the CCA for the honor of being the Featured Artist at their Naples Banquet this past weekend. I support what they do, and am happy that the feeling is mutual. This piece was donated for the Live Auction at the banquet, glad it went to a good friend, and added to his collection of pieces that […]
Redfish Love Pink
The weather man was calling for low winds, but cloudy skies, so my buddy Ramiro and I made the two hour trek down to Everglades National Park. Only to be greeted by strong 20mph winds, so we headed for cover in disgust by the once again wrong forecast. The wind blew all morning, we kept at it and it paid […]
Octoberhoot
The cast, along with several new additions, is back for round two of our annual trek down the barren beach that is Padre Island National Seashore. Our group consists of a colorful cast of characters who traveled from all over the state in search of fish, comradery and adventure.

Moonlight Special
Finally, after weeks of excessive winds, the weather man said we’d have great conditions. It was calling for two to five knots, but I knew it would be too good to be true. I figured I’d settle for 10 to 15 knots, since all we seem to have had the past month and a half is 15 to 30 knot […]
