Good Bye 2015, Hello 2016

Here is my annual good bye to the past year. It was a great year; I got married, had the privilege of getting a fly excepted by Orvis, caught my first Tarpon, and got offered to work at the new TCO location in Boiling Springs. It was also a great year for fishing. I did not do as much traveling as I have done in the past, but I did manage to fish Michigan, and Belize for the first time. I have to thank Doug our resident Orvis Rep / friend, and Elizabeth my wonderful wife for those opportunities. Here are some of my favorite memories from 2015.

Guide trip with Drew and Linda, one of my favorite smallmouth of the year.

Honeymoon Fishing - Part Three

Day three was a solo trip without my wife. The weather sucked and the tide was high, but we still tried. We came up empty handed, but I did get a couple shots at some black tip reef sharks on the flats. Here are a few pictures from the rainy day.

Honeymoon Fishing - Part One

As promised, I will fill you in on each day from our Honeymoon. I have to first Thank my Beautiful wife Elizabeth for putting up with me, and allowing me to fish on the honeymoon. The first set of pictures were all captured by her, from beginning to end. We were headed to a "secret" Beach that everyone seemed to know about via gulf cart. I spent more time looking into the mangroves and water than I did at the road. It paid off, I saw a tarpon and the rest is history!
