I love fishing new water. I make a point to fish new areas as often as possible. Fishing the same worn-out spots becomes monotonous to me; that’s why I rarely fish an area more than a few times a year. Ever since I bought my first kayak I’ve had this incessant thirst to find new water. It brings a smile […]
Exploring New Water
Red Friday
“Should have been here yesterday.” Words you never want to hear utter from someone’s mouth when you travel a long way in hopes of catching a hot bite. Those words sting even more when they’re coming from a buddy in your inner circle of friends who enjoys rubbing it in your face when you’re a day late and a dollar […]
Running of the Bulls
I spent a few days east of the border last weekend. The food was good. The company was great. The fishing was incredible. The first day started off a little slow. We had trouble finding clean water. The grey skies weren’t doing us any favors either. I caught one low 30” fish early but that was it.
Picture Perfect
As anglers were subject to the constraints of the tyrant named Mother Nature. She does what she pleases. We’re merely hostages to her moody behavior.

Quackers

Didn’t Stand a Chance

If you ever wondered what the offspring would look like if you crossbred a kayak and a jet ski your imagination has come to fruition. The Surfango looks just like any another kayak, but didn’t your mama tell you never to judge a book by its cover?
A 14 Hour Drive
Headed up to Delacroix and Hopedale Louisiana over the weekend to try my luck. I had been hearing good reports, including up to the day I was on the road. When I got there things had changed a bit. There were bull Reds in Venice, but every guide that you have seen on TV was on two groups of fish. My […]
Fall is in the Air: Texas Twist
Relief from the blistering hot heat has finally arrived in SE Texas. Fall is my favorite time of year for a number of reasons. The images below speak to a few of the reasons why…
Reds and Convicts
Austin gave me a shout Thursday evening to see if I had any plans for the weekend. His birthday was in a few days, so he wanted to celebrate like any avid angler wants spend their day of birth, on the water. My plans were to fish for the next three days. Perfect. Austin was on the road headed in […]
