The Year In Pictures 1/1/14.

Fish Catching Travel

What a year it has been.  So many fish, adventures, and great moments, it would not be possible to remember it all.  But with my blog it is easy.  So let’s take a look back at the people, places, and fish that made 2013 another great year to be alive.

January

We caught some great trout and reds in January.

And some great duck hunting with my friend Chris.  I was feeling like a real duck hunter.

February

My grandbaby Mia.  I did fish in February, but this is what counts.  Nice to have someone luv u just cause!

You see lots of these guys sunning on warm spring days. I just love me a big gator.

He waited patiently, made his move, but the ducks were just to fast.

My first trip to Lake Fork.  Thanks Aaron!

Sometimes I just can not get off those dang bass.

Alfie, my daughter’s father-in-law from South Africa.  His first bass.

And then he tops it off by killing a hog.  Thanks to Jeremy, he made a lifetime thrill for the South African.

And I did not forget to hit the salt as our temperatures heated up.

A cool Guitar fish.  Now that is some weird fish!

My buddy Chris puts a Blacktip on the beach at the last minute of our trip.

July

I really whacked them this day.  Nothing like catching them on a Redfish Magic, my favorite.

The Gulf fishing was good all month.  Of course on the Redfish Magic.

August

I just  can not get enough of those Coleto Creek bass.

But it is always back to the salt.

September

A balloon ride at daybreak over Cappadocia, Turkey.  Crazy Cool.

Nothing like 6 levels underground.  They rolled the rock across the passageway to keep out their enemies.

No place better, sunrise over Barroom Bay.

A good year for big bass.

IMG_3252

Not bad, another big one the same day.

Chris with our hand caught sailfish during the Sharkathon.  This will go down as one of my greatest outdoor experiences.

November

My buddy Clyde down from Arkansas whacks a big flounder on a Redfish Magic.

Fall and big bucks, a great time of year.

December

004

My friend Chris with a nice trout.  One of a good bunch we caught on a cast and blast.  A great way to enjoy winter.

And it starts all over again.  The bass are moving shallow, the trout are ganged up, and life is good.

So there you have it.  What a year, to bad I could not put more pictures in, but these say it best.  I didn’t know I had that  much fun.  So off we go, 2013 is over and it is time to make some new memories.  Keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.

Good Luck and Tight Lines
