Back!

Hello dear followers!

I have been away since 2011.  Lets see....whats new....


I am a dad!  My son is nearly 2 years old and severely curtails my fishing time.  Though, I have to say its totally worth it.

I went to Alaska in 2012 and 2013....slayed them.  In March I spent a week in the Amazon catching Peacocks and other strange things.  I have done some fishing North and East Texas as well.


I also went very bald!
 
I promise to update this with some more pics soon.  I may be going after some bowfin this weekend.
Reply in the comments if you still follow are are interested in my shenanigans!

That time of year...

I am looking out my window on the 49th floor. It is raining, which is awesome. I love winter. I hope its brutal. I am looking forward to more Pickerel fishing, going after some Crappies, and hunting season.

I thought I would post some more pictures from Alaska, back in June...

Victory At Last

I left Dallas about 5:30 on Saturday and headed East to Daingerfield. MY goal was to finally wash off the stink of 3 years of failure...

We now return to your regularly scheduled programming...

Hello dear readers!

I have been away for about a month due to travel, work, and family life!

But I am back, with a few finny exploits to share, skillful extracted from the jaws of a hot...depressing...drought sticken summer.


Back around the beginning of October, me and the Misses visited the Frio and Llano rivers.

Pretty Much Epic

I left Emalie snoozing in bed around 4am on Saturday.

By the time I was passing through Downtown Dallas it was raining and my joy was mixed with the worry that it would screw up my fishing...

I arrived in Athens about an hour and 45 minutes later and was pushing the john boat, sans motor, into the drink about 6:30.

I was fishing a boogle bug popper with a #12 Surveyor Nymph w/tungsten head and after that got lost I switched to a #12 Silver Lightning Bug.
