Home is not where the Bonefish are…

April 5, 2011

I’m home now from the Deneki FIBFest. Someone please pass me a box of tissue because I’m not entirely happy about that fact. It’s not often that a one week trip will give me enough blog fodder to keep this site in business for months. I have pages and pages of notes, I have 19 [...]

Thumbnail image for Fly Fishing for Bonefish is definitely not Trout Fishing… March 27, 2011

I made it through my first day of Fly Fishing for Bonefish here at the Deneki FIBFest. (without shark attacks–didn’t get lost in the mangroves) I caught a Bonefish on my very first cast…ROCKSTAR status… (or so I thought for a Milli-Second until the humility smack down began) But then…the Trout Fisherman in me reared it’s ugly habits [...]

My 100th post and a Thank You Gift

March 22, 2011

I imagine I would have hit this 100th blog entry mark Ohhh…. last fall if it wasn’t for that unfortunate Outdooress sabbatical while something else needed my care and attention. But I’m back and for those of you who didn’t kick me off your feed reader for slacker status, I wanted to offer a thank [...]

March 16, 2011

It’s probably a good thing I’ve been busy from sun up to sun down lately and just noticed this morning that it’s March 16th. As in…Holy Bonefish…I leave for the Deneki FIBFest,  Andros South, in exactly 9 days! This may or may not be a good time for random admissions. It might be more prudent of [...]

Fly Fishing With a River Damsel and a Cardboard Kirk

March 14, 2011

This weekend I had the privilege of taking Emily aka The River Damsel out for two days of fly fishing. Our first day of fly fishing took us to an un-named river fly fishing for big brown trout. In typical Rebecca fashion, the batteries on my camera were dead and I didn’t have backup. So the big [...]

A Delicate Presentation

February 18, 2011

I realize that if I don’t start posting here soon, I’ll be forced to kick myself out of my own Outdoor Blogger Network. I think that would be rather embarrassing… I’m not sure why I’ve been so negligent about posting here the last few months other then I’ve been distracted. I’ve been the person trying [...]

Bandon the Resentful

I figured it was about time I stopped working so much and joined in the fun. Typically I refer to my golden retriever as “Bandon The Bashful” but I’m convinced [...]
