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!

King and Sailfish

Went out Friday with Nguyen on his boat. New it was going to be interesting when right away two rods went off together! Landed one king,lost the other. Things slowed down so we trolled, nothing, then as soon as we started a drift my spinning rod went off and a Sailfish went airborne, put on a great show, almost spooled, had to back down,got it alongside, unhooked revived and released. Spectacular fish,but didn't get any pix.

May 7 @ 8

Haven't posted since April , so i thought is was time to update. Went thursday with the kayak club to Round Island Park ,Fort Pierce. Did the crack of dawn , had a great day, caught lots of fish , really cool place. Wish it was closer.

Jensen Beach Causeway again

Went back to the Causeway yesterday with Sam. Windy out of the west, choppy, so we went into lake area where we found Reds last time. They didn"t show up but Sam had fun with catfish and had a little Tarpon interested. I lost a good fish,maybe snook or red, wrapped me around a piling. Then came redemption, I trolled and hit trout, one after another. We fished around the river, looking for sheltered areas and new spots.

Peanut Island

Saturday went with Nguyen and family boating to Peanut Island. Nice relaxing day on the water, but Peanut Island, what a Zoo! Tons of people and boaters. Sat on beach and people watched all day. Camera battery gave out after just a few shots. Had a fishing tournament weighin right next to us, in the afternoon. About a dozen 30 foot contenders,sea- vee's,mako's, ect.with young buff co-ed crews shoe-horned on the beach alongside us. looked like a girls-gone-wild shoot! Sorry,but no pictures.

Recent activity

I haven't posted lately so here is an update. Went last week , fished Jensen Beach Causeway with Sam and Steve and Jim. It was a " almost" day. Sam got a nice Redfish and I "almost" got one ,too.Lost mine at the boat, then lost a big trout at the boat.Had some really good fish on but only landed one small trout.

some more art

These are some more pieces of my leather wall hangings.The skins for the larger pieces are imported from New Zealand.Pretty cool,eh?

Loxahatchee River yesterday

Went fishing on the Loxahatchee again with Sam McPherson and Nguyen, my neighbor and fish buddy.Really nice day started slow but found some nice fish. Also nice shot of rarely seen family of sandhill cranes.

Bragging pix

What is the sense of having a blog if you can't show off a little?

art show

I have been trying to sell some of my artwork on saturdays with a group of other artists in Delray pineapple grove area. Fun but no buyers yet.

Some more of my art.

I named this blog grey ghost graphics because that is the name of my way cool tricked out 2009 Hobie revolution kayak. Coincidentally, there is a web site also with that name by an artist specializing in leather . Well, so do I, but my leather sculptures are very different than any others. I developed a process of combining leather and resins for a unique look.Check it out.

Now that I am getting the gist of this I can bore you with many pictures from previous fishing trips.
