Hello, hello! I’m sorry I haven’t been around much on the blog lately – things have been sort of crazy, and there was a slight lull in my outdoor activities… But! Never fear. Deer season is under way (even though we’ve been in the 90’s down here in SC until yesterday), dove season is in full swing (more on that coming asap!), aaaand I spent a few days in the Keys to fish with Wuan’s family.
TGIT, friends! Who’s ready for the weekend? Its looking like a good one! This past weekend was the Georgetown Tarpon Tournament (remember this video?), and although I wasn’t able to fish it (Thanks, guys… Just kidding!), I was able to spend plenty of time on the water… Yep, you guessed it – fishing from the paddle board. Can you tell yet that I’m hooked?

Hello, hello! How are y’all liking the new site? I’ve gotten lots of fantastic feedback, and I really appreciate it! Sorry things have been a little slow around here otherwise… BUT! Hunting seasons are about to start up again (2 days for deer season!!), so we’re sure to be extra busy for the next few months.
Today’s weekend recap is also (sort of) a #tbt. Two weekends ago we headed up to Lake Jocassee for the annual Rascal crew lake weekend, and it was a blast. The weekend was a blur, and we were able to do plenty of boating, dock hanging, and… paddle board fishing. YES!
It’s true. I wrote an article on the subject, but had not actually participated in said activity. Before you shake your head, wait! Paddle board fishing is exactly what I did over the weekend, and I am a convert. It. Is. Awesome. Wobbly, but awesome.
We headed to the beach with some pals for the weekend with the anticipation of fishing from the dock and in the creeks behind the house, paddle boarding, and just your general fun in the sun activities. Why not combine them all? Bam. Instant way to entertain me for hours on end.
Hellooo short work week! Anyone else getting excited about the 4th festivities coming up? I know I am… ‘Merica, right?
Over the weekend, we headed to Georgetown to do a little fishing, some paddle boarding, and just take it easy in general. It has cooled down some since our crazy heat wave a couple of weeks go, and the weather was glorious – just enough cloud cover and perfect for getting out on the water and wetting a line or two.
Hello hello! That probably sounds like I am more peppy than I actually am on this Monday… Mondays are the worst, huh? Can’t it already be Friday again? Ahh, such is life, I guess! Anyway – enough complaining. Not a whole lot has been happening on the hunting or fishing front lately, although it’s not for lack of trying! I did catch a little bass (below) on the pond behind our neighborhood, though. Better than nothing, right?
Happy [almost] Memorial Day weekend, friends! I’m sorry for the far and few between posts… It’s been a little hectic around here! BUT! Last week I had the opportunity to go cobia fishing out of Beaufort, and we could not of asked for a better day. The weather was perfect and we were able to take our 21 foot boat close to 30 miles offshore. We had the boat in the water by about 630 with the goal of catching bait before heading out to the Betsy Ross to try our hand at the cobia. It was a beautiful morning and we had high hopes for the day.
It’s Friday! It’s Friday! Who else is super pumped? Yes, it is the weekend (at last), but don’t forget what else that means… Duck season opens tomorrrrowwwww around here. YES. But! Before I get all distracted, I will share with you the 3rd & final video from our honeymoon in Belize – a quick compilation of 3 days of bonefishing! Well, if you remember, it was actually 2 half days and 1 full day mixed around the diving & snorkeling & sharks oh my… But you get the idea.
Happy Thursday, friends! I have a little #tbt Throwback Thursday treat for you today! After filtering through several hundred videos & at least as many photos, I have finally finished the first installment of the Belize video diaries… Eeek!
As I mentioned, we did a little bit of dove hunting and a little bit of fishing over last weekend. The constantly changing weather made it a little difficult to plan ahead for our activities, so we basically flew by the seat of our pants. Start to see a few doves come into the field? Let’s get out there and sit. No doves flying? Let’s try our luck on the pond. Procrastinating getting in the car to drive back to Charleston? Let’s get back in that dove field for a little while! That is truly how our day went.
