This whole not having a boat thing SUCKS.  I’m going on about 2.5 months now of no boat.  I knew in the back of my mind that there was the possibility of this happening, but I didn’t think it actually would.  I figured, maybe a month and I’d be back in a boat.

Now, before I go into any details here, let me first say, that I have had access to a couple of friends’ boats who have been extremely generous in letting me borrow their boats to continue guiding.   [Read more…]

Well, word seems to have gotten around now about the fact that I managed to sink my boat the weekend following Memorial Day. The week afterward was very hard financially, emotionally, and physically, but I received a pretty big outpouring of moral support from friends, family, and fellow anglers (many of which I have never even personally met). So I wanted to throw a big THANK YOU out there to everyone who has reached out to me since then. Ya’ll have been great. There’s been a lot of questions, and I’ve been promising to “tell the tale,” so here it is… [Read more…]

Well, I’ve finally gotten around to putting a fresh, new look to the website. The thought to do it was spurred on by a couple of clients and friends who mentioned that they were having a difficult time finding the page on my old website that gave information about my guide services. I started asking several people, and many said that they had no problems navigating my previous website, but if just one or two people are having difficulty in contacting me to book a trip… that’s too many!

Well, we’re a month into 2015 now, and so far so good.  I’m pretty much right on track with where I want to be.  My last blog post was about my fantasy schedule for the Big Sandy Creek Bass Club (BSCBC) tournaments this year.  At the January meeting, we voted in the lakes for the first quarter of the year.  I nominated all of the lakes that I had on my fantasy schedule through April, and my nominations won!  WooHoo!  That one kind of caught me by surprise.  January was Fayette, February will be Bastrop, March will be Austin, and April will be LBJ.   [Read more…]

So every year I like to make a fantasy tournament schedule of sorts for the club that I am fishing in that year.  The past few years, I’ve been fishing with Big Sandy Creek Bass Club.  I’ve really enjoyed fishing with them so far, and I’m sure I will continue to.  Anyways, the reason I make this “fantasy schedule” is because like many clubs, we regularly vote in the lakes that we will be fishing each month.  At the beginning of the year, I like to try and map out what lakes I would like to see the club fish each month, so then I know what lake it is I’m going to nominate at the club meetings.  Rarely do I get to see my nominated lake voted in, but I still always try.  🙂   [Read more…]
