Sunny Florida

I am in Clearwater this week and next.

Been going down to Ft. Desoto beach almost every day with mixed results.

I've caught a few nice lady fish, in the 1-2 foot range, pretty awsome and jumpy. I also what I think is some type of small mackerel, but I am not sure.

There is a storm comming in this weekend, so I am waiting to hear from Gibby about whether or not our snook and kayak trip will be scuttled....


please no, please no please no. Probably won't be able to post pics till I get back on the first. Keep checking every few days!

Welcome to my new readers!

Fourth of July Weekend

Emalie and I went down to Leakey, Texas to stay on the Frio and hang with some friends...

The heavy rains brought on by Alex put a bit of a damper on things but didn't wash away all the fun...

Map Turtle of some kind...

I managed one nice Bass on the Frio, but as luck would have it I wasn't able to get a picture. The river is literally full of fish. Many many good sized large mouths in some of the deeper sections.

On Sunday we left Leakey and started the voyage home...with some stops in between....

After being frustrated by an unwilling spotted gar for about 20 minutes I landed this feisty bass below the dam at the city park.

After that we made our way to Pedernales Falls State Park and were dismayed to find the water really high and cloudy:
