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...







They don't like each other...



Today was a good day...

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.

Looking fine boo...Work that BVK baby....Emalie in the Llano

I took my friend Eric and his son Aiden fishing out at SIX-O last weekend...

Aiden was the MVP, but they both caught their personal best Blue gills...


The draught has effected almost every lake I visit...


More to come this weekend!

The Cake Is A Lie

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.

Sunday Emalie and I visited the Folks and she caught some little bluegills in the neighborhood...

More from Alaska

I am heading out to East Texas this weekend, hopefully I will have some nice gillPorn to post early next week...

Until then, enjoy some Pike!
