The next three days of fishing were stellar
Bahamas Hangover Part 2
Tarpon Time
Tarpon season is in partial swing here in the lower keys; there are migratory fish out back and migratory fish out front. The tarpon’s verve to reproduce brings them up both the Gulf and Atlantic Coast every spring and if you know what points, small keys and contour lines they prefer to migrate around it can be quite the spectacle […]
Bahamas Hangover Part I
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.
Annual Destin TR
Every year about the beginning of March my mind starts to wonder from the shallows of South Florida. Despite the fantastic opportunities for permit and tarpon this time of year, all I can seem to think about is cobia! I basically learned to fish in the Florida Panhandle during my military days there, and every year since I moved away […]
SWC Bahamas Part 4
I know…its old news now. But some of these memories are too good to forget. Just some more pics…Hootie Hoo said it best already.
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 […]
The Psychopomp and the Angler
Ferrying deceased fish, glistening effigies to a former prowess, onto to their final resting places is my profession. I do not dispense the deathblows, as I am but a humble butcher. I lay no judgement upon the fish beyond that which dictates the preparation of their flesh. I move them quickly and freshly onward through the afterlife, and no second […]
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 […]
7 Girls, 1 Cook
Recently I was informed by my better half that we would be hosting six of her childhood girlfriends at our apartment in a slightly belated celebration of her friend Amanda’s 30th birthday. No small occasion to say the least, I was excited to have them as guests as it afforded me two excellent opportunities. The first being a chance to […]
