If you're a fishing guide, you may not understand this but you might be interested in it. I'm your average fly fishing addict whose daydreams follow a gaze out the window anxiously awaiting my next opportunity to reclaim a little bow time. It's a beautiful thing when you put everything together for your next fishing trip. But a good fishing trip usually begins with a good guide saying yes.
That's right. You can pick your destination. You can start tying flies. You can ask a million questions on your favorite fishing forum. But, if the guide you pick is booked, then its time to start over again. Ever try to book your favorite keys tarpon guide in May or June? Hope someone bequeathed you a week on their death bed, because those times just don't fall off the key lime tree. Ever try to book your favorite bonefish guide in the Bahamas during April or May? Hope you planned ahead.
So, when it came time for me to chase the redfish, I chose to try and book a trip with Captain Seth Vernon of Double Haul charters. Dates weren't easy to come by, but we finally got some times that work and 2013 is now the year of the redfish.
Check out this video as a little teaser of what's to come.

Redfish Week

Sorry for the long pause in updates. I got sidetracked and I bought a Gheenoe, and if you've never seen one it's kind of like Duck Dynasty meets Hells Bay Boatworks. Or maybe just a cross between a Jon boat and a canoe. Either way, I have a 4 hp Evinrude on the back of this 13 footer so I guess that makes me an evinrude man now.
In bigger news, I'm heading out for my annual trip later this week to try my hand at the mighty redfish with Capt. Seth Vernon in Wilmington. I've been wanting to add a redfish, or red drum, or puppy drum, or bull red, or rat red, to my species list for some time so this week will be as good as any. Follow the blog this week as I update on the haps.
Stay tuned for much more to come. I've gotten some things written so new "stuff" is on the way!
