Still not sure where we ended up, but we had a worthy place. Must've been in the top 15. Either way proud to have been a part of this five tournament since the start.

Some highlights from the past few weeks charters barring Lil' Debby and pesky Drum Tournaments.

A little Highlight reel of some of my recent charters. Simply some of best clients I could hope for.
I've decided I'll be streamlining my charters moving forward for the foreseeable future. If your looking for an experience.... I'm your guy. That's how and why I started and that's what I'm going to be focusing on moving forward.
October is nearly booked for me. Some backwater and lots of False Albacore.

Sometimes you get so caught up in the grind you lose a little of what you love. It takes a few tough seasons and some self searching, then some really awesome repeat clients and friends to remind you why you started this silly quest and what really matters. Simple, sharing your passion with others and showing them little pieces of your love for your home. Repeat families and others searching for more, you're what makes me do this, you're why I started this whole deal. Thank you! So if you are eternally searching, I'm your guide for a few steps. Come see my home and I'll do my best to give it all for you.

Life is short, enjoy the view and don't run from the challenge.
Sure enjoyed fishing a few days with my son who has made me a Papa in my 40's. Glad these shallow water tanks were feisty.

While we're cruising the beaches and shoals, keeping an eye open often pays dividends in the Spring. Sightfishing schools of old drum staging up busting topwaters isn't too shabby. Come fish with experience.
