Sat. Jan 26 we were rigged out in local waters doing a layout shoot. When we were joined by a third party she hung around for about a half an hour or so. Before sliding off the aft deck into the water. Should have seen the look on Mikes face when he motored over to swap out guns.

Once again bridie is with the boys.This time she actually chased my downed red through the ice.Pinning the bird with her paws underneath the surface.All you could see was the tip of her tail.Iwas right on her as to not let her get stuck.This bird is going to be an incredible mount.

We also did a shoot in fingert lakes.Closed out the western zone.One sit . Got one bull red head and two lesser scaup.You can tell the lessers from the greaters by the white band on the spec of the wing. As well as the general size of the bird and color of the head.The speculum of the lesser only runs half way.Greaters,the spec runs almost to the tip

After having a poor fishing season locally, I went to Provo in the Turks and Caicos to escape the onset of winter. I signed up for a charter and got my fishing permit. I spent a great day on a 42' Sportfish out of Turtle Cove on the North side of the island. The weather was perfect, sunny and 85*, although the seas were rough. We had been trolling for a while when the line suddenly took off and I set the hook, it was a good fight until the Captain called for me to reel "FASTER".

He could see a couple of bull sharks cruising up, through the wake, behind the boat. BANG the fight was over, the line went slack, the shark had made a meal of my wahoo!! I estimated it would have been about 60lbs if I had landed it whole! These pictures really sum up the kind of season I had! Hopefully 2008 brings me more luck.

A nice woody taken on a rather slow day. Without much action we decided to grass up the boat a bit and much to my surprise woody came calling.
