Happy Belated Thanksgiving

We had a busy Thanksgiving. Between Sela Rose, Ruby, and Lily there was never a dull moment. Wallace flew in from NY and I managed to get him out on the water. We had a good time goofin' off and catchin' some nice reds. I miss him already...

Redfish standing on their heads

Jeff and I got out to sample some of the Fall redfishing. This was a welcomed break from diapers, preseason orders and sleep deprivation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, just a welcomed change;)

Trick or Treat!

Sela and I had Halloween to ourselves. Momma and the twins had to sit this one out. We had a great time. She loves Tinkerbell and being Tinkerbell even better.

Sela Rose is a big sister!

I know this is a little late but it's been a little busy around here. Born Oct. 28, Ruby Adelaide and Lily Teal are beautiful, healthy, and happy. Cheryl has fared beautifully and is the ever shrinking woman right now. I am a little sleep deprived but still the proudest papa out there...

Few more surf pics

Weather has been amazing this Oct. It is by far my favorite month here in Florida.

Orvis Fly Fishing School

I've been teaching the Orvis Santa Rosa Beach Fly Fishing School all year, 10 so far and 2 to go. Next year there will be 30! Fishing has been good in the surf this fall so students have been having fun. http://www.orvis.com/store/productchoice.aspx?pf_id=9C0G&dir_id=758&Group_ID=7524&cat_id=14737&subcat_id=14738&bhcp=1

It's been a while since I've posted, things have been busy. Fly Fishing Schools, twin prep., preseason orders, baby showers and Sela Rose turning 2. All the folks from work got together and threw us a great baby shower for the twins, good food, Sela dancing, and good freinds. The girls are scheduled for delivery on the 28th. of this month (Oct.). Remember us in your prayers.

Andy Got Hitched!!

We attended the wedding of our good friends Andy Parker and Caroline Young. What an amazing event! Papa young pulled out all the stops for his little girls wedding. Great band, food, drinks and all the works. As usual Sela Rose had a great time dancing to the live band. When she hears music she can sit still.. Cheryl is now in her 6th month of pregnancy with the twins and more beautiful than ever. Congrats to the Parkers!

If you find a set of keys in West Bay Let Me Know!

Fished yesterday with my good friend Andy Parker. He has been commuting between Nashville all summer, guiding trips and finishing up grad. school (congrats Andy). This was our first chance to get on the water together in almost a year. Any got a new 40d Cannon and he needed a photo op. We had to get really shallow to catch a couple reds. It was hard to leave but I had to get back to the office.

Get in the Cage...

Installed my new and improved platform today. I have needed a cage all Tarpon Season. It gets pretty interesting when your casting, hooking and fighting a 100lb. tarpon in 3 to 4ft. seas from the bow of a skiff. The uphostry job was botched so it's back to the drawing board on the padding.

Boom Boom Stacy

Sela Rose has been known, on special occasion, to call herself "Boom Boom Stacy" . You Silly Billy.

Storm Break

It's been a pretty stormy Tarpon Season as of late. Ocean side fishing from a skiff is not for sissys.....

Andy Lee Photography

Andy came down in early Spring and did some redfishing. We had a ball. He's back out in Colorado getting his "trout on" for the season. He takes a mean photo...

Beamon's Big Adventure

Some old news, but good news. B.J. and I have been freinds since grade school. He just got married to one of our dear freinds Cathy. I got to share a part in the ceramony and to help BJ catch a couple fish before his big day. We are so happy for them. Sorry Cathy for Beamon's sunburn. Thats what photoshop is for......

Daddy's Girl - Sela Rose

She has the most beautiful heart.

Tarpon Season

Tarpon Season has been really good so far. I'm not getting in all the days I would like (work & family comes before play). Gjuro, Rob, Jeff, Rusty and I have had some great days. I hope they keep swimmin' through August.
