Long time no blog. So what’s up? Quite a bit. I’ll start off picking up where my last blog post left off at. I believe it was me talking about my boat coming back home soon. Well, it’s home, and it’s been home for a couple months now. Long story short, the motor got rebuilt and runs like a champ now. However, I’ve decided it’s time I moved on and got a new boat. I’m currently working on re-carpeting the rest of the boat and putting in new seats. Once that’s all done, I’ll be selling it. Anyone interested? I’ve been trying to take it out at least once a week to run it, but of course that’s my excuse to fish at least once a week! [Read more…]
Motor Rebuild & Upcoming Tournaments
The boat is coming home!!! That’s great news, but at what cost? It ain’t coming cheap; I’ll tell you that. When is it ever though right? It’s been more than a month now since the boat has been away. After sitting at Austin Action Marine for about 3 weeks, I was told that it would be a $3500 fix. OUCH! Obviously that was not going to be a great option. I decided to take it to someone else for another opinion. I took it over to Chris Ray who runs Performance Outboards off of Hwy 71 as you’re headed out to Lake LBJ. [Read more…]
Boat Shop Blues
I had to take my boat into the doctor’s office a couple of weeks ago. As is usually the case when leaving the boat with a mechanic… I still don’t have it back yet.

Change of Pace
Well, it’s been an interesting few weeks. First of all. I quit my job doing pest control. It was just too much. It was ok for a while and helped Susie and I to get on top of some things financially, but it just got to the point where I couldn’t handle the schedule anymore. It was taking a toll on way too many areas of my life. Most importantly, there was just something inside of me that said I needed to get out of there. [Read more…]
Part-Time Guiding
Ok, here’s the announcement: I have decided to officially start offering guided fishing trips. For the past few years, I have been approached on numerous occasions asking if I offered guided fishing trips. I’ve hesitated for a long time to do such a thing for a few reasons: 1) No guide license, 2) My boat and equipment is not up to par with that of other guides, 3) Competition. Well, after some pushing from a few friends, that’s all taken care of. [Read more…]
