NEW REALITY

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Nothing like $5.25 a gal. deisel to teach us owner/operators new strategies to persue our offshore affliction.Running out 60/100 miles to the good water @ warp speed and coming home is a luxury of a buy gone era.It reminds me of the very old joke of the young and the old bull standing on the hilltop looking down at a herd of cows.The young bull say’s “let’s run down the hill and fuck a cow”.The old bull say’s”let’s walk down the hill and fuckem’ all.Gear up and overnite for 2 or 3 days when you have the window.Spend quality hours on the hunt and maximize and diversify the box and the experience.Pura vida

the big woods provided plenty of excitement.However if hunting success is measured by results I better stick to fishing.Many thanks to Don N. for putting it together.I’ll be in position next time.Laugh now Gobblers,I’m a quick study.

Chesapeake

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

A traditional day on the bay provided a bounty of Striped bass and comradarie with old friends.Tomorrow we’re off to God’s country (Potter County)for a few days in the deep woods chasing Spring Gobbler.Pura Vida is a life style that’s waiting for you in any climate….enjoy the life
