Just realized I hadn't posted for almost two years. It's not that I stopped living, just stopped writing about it. Quit trying to sell my artwork for now, have made some jewelry, pottery and stained glass pieces, but mostly for my own head. I will post some fish pix and try to stay in touch.
Wow, didn't realize it has been so long since I posted.I will try to catch up if I can still remember where I left off! I guess the biggest change in my fishing life has been because i stopped working my two day a week screen printing job. Also Sam , fishing partner , went back to trucking and working full time. My other fishing buddy, Nguyen, has fridays off, but will be changing jobs soon. Also I have been getting my physical and mental health in order ,since I turned 65, yeah I know, old fart. I have been seeing and involved with the VA. Never thought I would have anything to do with the government and military again. Anyway, I have had a banner year fishing! Since last fall I concentrated on fishing the Jensen Beach, Stuart area with occasional paddles locally at Boynton around the inlet. No ocean fishing, I would much rather go offshore in a boat, than a yak. Okay, caught lot's of nice seatrout in the Indian River last fall, didn't really document the catches, but had a freezer full of trout all winter. I'll start with January, January 2. I fished stuart causeway, north side, trout, spanish mackerel, pompano and24 and 22 inch redfish! Was excited to catch the Reds, for me they have been elusive. Rapala flatraps, went out a bought a bunch on sale! Then kept trying but no more Reds, but lots of nice trout. Happy catching them and had some really nice days fishing with Nguyen, my brother Stan visited and we caught lots of Bluefish, but no trout. Went to the Keys with Jimmy, Nguyen , and Jimmy's brothers for his 40th birthday, fished and partied, caught some big Kings. Had some good local offshore adventures, Kings, Cobia, Mahi, and Sailfish. All on Nguyen's and Jimmy's boats. March and April the weather sucked , lots of wind, still caught good trout. Would go where we could get out of the wind. Met Jerry McBride on the river one day, took some trout pictures for him, he gave me some new D.O.A. shrimps. Next trip got 30, 28, and 26 inch trouts! After that started to fish Macarthur Park because of the winds, and started to score Snook! In four outings got 17 snook including 4 slot fish up to 31 inches! Fished Boynton canal and got another two, 24 inches! I was also catching big trout and jacks, REDHOT! Even got one snook  in the Lox river. Needless to say I am on a roll, Okay, here is another high point, last day of open season,dropped wife at airport,paddled to Boynton spillway,where day before i dropped three snook, couldn't get the slot fish I was hoping for but got personal best, 22 pound, 40 inch monster!! Had audience(Danny Barrow and client), 12 lb. test, great fight! Okay, now we are up to date, will try to keep posting, and will add some pix. Want to try for that Tarpon on yak next!

Nguyen and I went out and each got one of these. Sunday night we had a fish feast at Jimmy's house.

Got sidetracked


Sorry I haven't posted since the summer. Have gotten sidetracked , still been fishing and have been enjoying my new ride. Let's see... have been going to Munyon Island, Loxahatchee River, and Boynton inlet. Have been living on Trout and Mangrove Snapper all summer. Season is closed now for trout so now eating Mahi, mackeral, and what ever else bites. No keeper snook yet, but still trying. I think I have some recent pictures I can post. Also got a new camera Olympus stylus waterproof for obvious reasons.

new kayak carrier


Here is a picture of my new ride. Had to get rid of pathfinder, great truck but started to get needy. Station wagon on steroids, combination toy and toy carrier. It's a Hemi.Just hope to have as much good luck as with pathfinder.

I'm sure we all know about bp and their screwup in the gulf. Well it really pisses me off that they are destroying so much in such little time with no regard for the lives of so many creatures. This is a disaster like none other. I can go on and on about how upset this makes me, but I guess you get the idea. A am working with a friend on mine who owns All American Printing and is producing bpblows t-shirts. Check out the website if you haven't seen them yet,www.bpblows.com. ,just a way to show our disgust.

Have gotten lazy



Haven't posted in a while , shouldn't say lazy, been busy, lot's of new things going on. Been fishing quite a bit. Probably twice a week, once in Indian River and once in ocean. Been catching pretty good. Fished D.O.A. kayak tournament a few weeks ago, did pretty good, but didn't take home any gold. Out of a hundred anglers placed about in the top ten for trout.Caught ten of them,largest twenty two inches, but didn't get snook or red. Been catching lots of big trout and got a twenty one pound blackfin tuna offshore two weeks ago. Then caught ten pound dolphin. Last week caught two cobia about twenty pounds each. Been a good fish year so far!
