Lover and Fighter.
I’m guessing it’s the Leo sign in me, (and maybe a little of the indie punk kid) but for whatever reason i have spent my entire life enjoying things that aren’t part of the mainstream. Whether it’s Fugazi over R.E.M., Keislowksi over the Farrelly brothers, or manchego over cheddar, there is something about enjoying the [...]

Día de la Carpa
The alarm in my head was going off, my time on the water was surely over, and my internal clock obviously wasn’t going to let up until i payed heed and checked. 5:45…Damn. I was a mile from my car, which in turn was exactly one hour from home, and there were drum, gar, carp [...]

Sometimes though, the insane traffic, the endless cavalcade of public events (marathons, festivals and concerts), overpriced housing, and the never ending stream of ironic mustaches can get to be a little much. Good thing there [...]

Water, White Bass and a Dead Net
Anglers in general tend to be a secretive bunch, as anyone that knows one will attest. It seems that this is doubly so if they live in Texas and have been bitten by the white bass bug. Topics of conversation such as “where they are” or “what they’re taking”, are generally held in energetic yet [...]

Strange, Yet Utterly Familiar.
The sea kayak on the river. Dragging said kayak 30 yards to get to the main channel. Numerous bass hitting poppers on the surface. All of these things, plus the continuing drought and the anemic flows it has created, conspired to let me know that warm water fishing is indeed here. In an effort to [...]
