Florida checks in.

Florida Op Jake checks in.

To celebrate his BIG 1-0 B-Day, Jake chartered a boat to
take he and his buddies fishing.

Jake and Zack with the Dolphin they caught for dinner.
I'll have mine blackened with a squeeze of lemon.

Don't let his age fool you. I've been fishing with this young man several times.
He's a serious fisherman and is growing up to be a real young man.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Artist Profile Guy Harvey

Most of us know who David Mann is, some of us know who Coop is,
but not many here know of another favorite artist of mine.
Guy Harvey, PhD.

Growing up in South Florida, I spent a lot of time in and around the water.
Fishing, scuba diving, surfing, and snorkeling was how I spent my
time before the motorcycle bug bit me.

I still pick up a salt water fishing magazines from time to time.
One of those things I do that takes me back to a different time in my life.
When you set your calendar by what was running at the time.

When you fed the tarpon at the docks by hand and warned
that they were pets and not to be taken by anyone.
(A few tourists received more than a warning )

While going through some things in the storage unit the other day, I
found an old bill fish tournament poster. It was falling apart, but
I could still make out the art work by Guy Harvey.

It was a shame to get ride of it, but it was too far gone to be saved.
It did bring me back to the first time I saw his artwork and how as a teenager, I was always
looking out for his new shirt, poster, or painting.
Guy Harvey does a ton of different things in the name of ocean preservation.
Just Google his name to find out more.

The Skunk Ape checks in.

Joe knowing that I was working in TN at night and he wasn't sent me this pic of Rob holding a few bugs they got.

Just his way to remind me that he's in Florida and I'm not.

The North Shore of Oahu in Winter.

Waimea Bay is one of those places that I have to see before I take the long dirt nap. In the world of surfing this is where men can become legends.

Eddie Aikau is a true legend in the surfing world. A big wave event is held at Waimea in his memory every winter. An invitation only roster filled with the best big wave riders from all over the world compete. To be invited is a huge honor. The event only happens when the waves are big enough and conditions are right.
Winter 2009 Eddie went.
Enjoy

Summer time!!

When the weather gets warm.

I really start thinking about salt water fishing in Florida.

The sun, the ocean, a nice breeze.

Yeah. I really like fishing in the summer time.

The scenery is always great when fishing in the ocean. Lots of wild life.

Hell, I think about fishing when it's winter too.
