But resilience is key. Creativity is a must. All in all, 2020 is worth looking … Read more

2020 was a year we’ll all remember. It won’t necessarily be for all bad reasons but there were certainly many challenges due to the Covid-19. But for me, hands down, I’ll always remember this year for losing my dad on January 26th. As I review this roller-coaster of a year, I thought it would be … Read more

Not much fishing today. We faced what we’ve had every day since Sunday – heavy wind and rain. In fact, it rained so hard from when we woke up until 9 AM that we didn’t leave for fishing until 10 AM. The wind was a steady 30 MPH so our only option was to fish … Read more
I knew at about 2 AM that even if we were fishing today, it likely wouldn’t be an on time departure. The wind shook my room and heavy rain pelted the windows. While there’s some glass most are made up of screens and fancy wooden blinds to keep the rain out. Well, the rain was … Read more
The wind didn’t subside last night at dark like “normal” wind does. Instead it got stronger. This morning we awoke to a steady 25 MPH blow.
