I was still having troubles with water getting in the kayak and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from so i had to fill it with water and go over every inch. It ended up being 3 hairline cracks in the haul from the storm ride last year. I repaired them by the end of the month, just in time for crabbing and opener of resident goose season.</div>

My dog doesn't do water so we had to call out the professionals and Daisy was up to the task. We killed every goose that came in but that only gave Daisy two retrieves which she handled flawlessly. By 10 am we ditch goose hunting and the quite ponds for the dove field up the road. We had our spots on a crowded sunflower field and were slinging lead from the 12 pm start. Two was the number for the day it seemed we left the dove field with shooting time left as one of the hunting party had to go to work but at least we avoided the skunk on both fronts.</div>

Back when I was a young lad my extended family would vacation at the ocean. And if your from Maryland you know that means a vacation at Ocean City Maryland specifically. The trek is about 2 1/2 hours (with good traffic) south east from Baltimore which was a world away when I was a youngin. My folks didn't have a lot of money like some of the family but my Uncle Jack had a travel trailer just north of the city in Pirates Cove, Fenwick Island Delaware. As a kid that trailer park was my adventure land. I Got to spend the week in a tent next to the trailer and could ride the old Schwinn anywhere in the park I wanted which usually meant to what we called the bulkhead. I would crab and fish for hours on little Assawoman bay. During those weeks spent down the ocean a favorite pass time of my father and grand father was to watch the fishing boats come in and weigh their catch in the White marlin Open. I never missed a chance to go and was amazed as a child with the massive fish these men would bring in to weigh and delight in the hoopla the crowed would make. For a 10 year old it seemed like a epic adventure to head off shore after tuna, marlin and shark. Pops would always tell me you better make a bunch of money if you wanna play that game. As the years would go by I would fish with my pops on the Angler head boat for sea bass and flounder and dream about heading further out for the larger game. It wasn't until I was 17 that I got the chance to head offshore. I had spent most my life fishing the Chesapeake and its tributaries, so when one of my uncles fishing partner fell ill I jumped at the chance to head to the deep blue. It wouldn't be Ocean City that I would head out of but Oregon Inlet NC. I took my first trip on Captain Paul Lester Osprey and was immediately addicted. I caught my first white marlin, mahi, and tuna on that trip. In the years since I had spent a small fortune chasing fish offshore but I had never until this year had a chance to fish in that tournament that I dreamt about as a kid. My old boss has his own addiction and a boat to feed it and he needed another person for his crew so I got the invite. If you never seen the White marlin Open it is a spectacle. Boats from all around the country and a few from over seas converge on the city chasing big money payouts for big fish.<br />

We pre fished on Saturday and did some prospecting. Sunday was spent checking rods lines and rigging baits. You use a ton of baits in a tournament. Monday morning heading out I had nerves like my 1st big football game in high school. We left the dock at 4am and slid pass the lines of on lookers lining up the inlet. It was a rough ride out 75 miles south to fish the Norfolk canyon we got bounced and slammed most of the day with not much to show for it. Then at 2 pm in a driving rain a white marlin hit our teaser and the mate had him hooked in an instant and I got the rod in the chair for my first tournament white marlin. It was a quick fight to the leader and we were now measurering our first fish. It was a fat marlin that after several heart breaking measurements would be 1 inch short of the required 67". It would have easily made the 70 lbs minimum. That would be the only catch of day one though we raised a couple more they would not take our bait. We took an ass whoopin on the ride home in building seas and about 8 miles out of port engine troubles had us bobbing like a cork. It would be 3 hours of drifting in the ocean waiting for a tow boat and a long slow tow back in by midnight. Quite an adventure for my first day in the WMO. Tuesday was spend recovering from our ride repairing the boat prepping baits and drinking more beer than I should have. Which led to a rough start on day 2 of fishing on Wednesday. We headed south again this time in better seas but the fishing would suck for us and we put up our only skunk of the week. Thursday brought more prep and more hanging out at the docks taking it all in though less beer than Tuesday, I'm getting a little wiser. Friday would be our final fishing day and some good numbers had been put up in the tournament we new we had to beat 86 lbs to win and with that tall order we went all in and headed 90 miles north to Spencer canyon. The ocean was as flat as a farm pond and we made good time to the fishing grounds. Lines in at 8:30am and by 9 we had our first marlin of the day on. We landed a small white that only measured 60" but we just new there would be more to come. After raising a blue and a few whites and watching 3 boats next to us hook up with small whites we headed away from the crowd and schoolie fish. Unfortunately all we would find is a small mahi that would make a good sandwich. That 86 lbs white marlin would be beaten just not by us however I was still all smiles thinking about how my pops and grand pops would be ragging us for not catch bigger fish if they were still around. Can't wait for next year need to get to them scales.</div>

July started with parties and looks like it will end that way. Squished in between is as much fishing and crabbing as I could muster and doing it all between the ocean and the hills.

The gardens are coming along well after a cool spring . I just harvested six nice cabbage along with as many radishes as I could ever need. The bee hives got some new wallpaper ( check picture its all about marketing lol) and are getting stronger. Tony and I went crabbing on the 17th, we crabbed that weekend last year and netted 8 crabs. This year however we pulled in a bushel, lets hope it's a banner year for my most favorite crustacean. This past weekend was a wading trip to the upper Potomac with my mostly kayak less group. The fishing was tough with water up a bit from recent storms. Everybody seemed to figure it out but me, I came home with the big skunk. My buddy K figured it out big time netting himself a MD citation smallie at 20 1/2 Inches 3.3 pounds. Planning for and awesome cook out weekend and holiday. Keep Livin The Dream<br />

I spent the end of May running around getting gardens together, beehive online and the rest of spring things, coupled with a business trip and of course too much work. In the midst of this I threw my back out and just when I thought I had that back on line I got sick with what I'm guessing was the flu. My guessing comes from the fact that I gave it to my wife for her birthday and her Dr said she had the flu. Note to Husbands your wife will not want the flu for her birthday, just saying. In the process of sneezing I also strained my back again. I cant remember ever having the flu in my life, Hell I rarely catch a cold. So this thing kicked me right in the nuts, I have felt like shit for 3 weeks its almost made me want to see a Dr, almost. The flu I think I could do but my back out and the flu is bullshit. I trudged through work thinking it was just a bad cold so sorry to my co workers if I passed it along. Me being me this past Sunday I figured I felt good enough to go get a line wet. So my fishing buddy Tony and I put the yaks in and paddled out to do some fun fishing. Fishing was excellent the perch were willing and plentiful. I also managed to snag a couple under sized stripers. Felt so good to be out that we drank some beer in celebration.

I now know that one of my hives should have been re-queened ( lesson learned ). I am also amazed that despite my best efforts one hive is still alive ( here is where I cross fingers and knock on wood). Truth be told the ladies take care of their selves and I find it peaceful to just sit and watch them come and go. Which brings us to my learned lesson. We started the bee's late in the spring last year. Not knowing if there would be enough forage for them in the inner city I fed a lot of syrup to get them started and we installed planters with native flowers that bee's love all around the roof., both hive took to their new homes and were going like mad right from the start. Early on one hive was out pacing the other in terms of number and taking up space. Being a novice I didn't know weather the hive was just outstanding or if it was a normal hive and the other was lacking. I was assured from a more seasoned beekeeper that both were doing fine upon inspection and we carried on. Late in fall I noticed that the smaller hive seemed to have less traffic than earlier in the year but I assumed this was normal as temperatures were changing and winter would be on its way. This is where I probably should have re-queened that hive, I didn't know and it didn't happen. With a warmer than usual winter so far I could see bees flying on warmer days and it gave some solace in that both hives had activity. Two weeks ago with temps in the 70 I stepped out to take a break and greet my ladies, and noticed no activity in the smaller hive. After further inspection I found all my ladies dead. So last week I pulled the hive to inspect and dissect it to see what might have gone wrong. From my best guest after reading books,blogs and good ole you tube is that with low numbers the bee just couldn't keep the hive warm enough when we had our first cold snap and they all froze to death. Bummer! I found them gathered tight with heads in comb buts sticking out literally text book evidence of freezing to death.<br />

We cleaned up the brooding frames and boxes and stored them for the spring I have two nucs coming and if my other hive makes it I will have three hives come spring. On the bright side one hive was still alive as of yesterday and still looks really strong and since my ladies won't need it in the dead hive I will get a little honey this year. I left five frames to start my new nucs and all the brood frames which have some honey and I began processing the rest today. You tube to the rescue again with video showing how to build and use a 2 food grade buckets and a filter cloth to filter and extract the honey.</div>

We scraped the foundations into a bowl chopped up the wax and honey put it in the filter and let gravity do the rest. Total cost for the whole set up was about 27 dollars with two food grade buckets filter cloth and honey gate. So far there is about 1 1/2 gallons filtered through which is a lot more than I was expecting.</div>

Fishing last week BB and I noticed some public land with a mess of ducks and geese just kicking about. We got to thinking it would be a hell of a place to set up and hunt. I was itching to get my waterfowl hunt on having missed every opportunity this year for one reason or another. We recruited my nephew and my buddy Scooter for the adventure then went to work getting gear together. This one was gonna cost us a bit, none of us have our own decoys and everyone else we hunt with using theirs we were gonna have to bite the bullet and get our own. After giving bass pro half a weeks pay we had decoys and a bag. I also threw in a goose call just for fun and also it turns out to drive my dog ape shit. We left out late a little after 4 and arrived at the ponds by 5:45 which would have given us plenty of time to make the long walk lugging our gear and my kayak. Some young bucks got the jump on us and were on the pond we were gonna hunt which added another half mile to our walk and put us hauling ass to get decoys set up and a blind constructed. As it turns out the ducks fly early and I was still paddling out the decoys when the first mallards showed up. They weren't to impressed with the camo fat decoy in the middle of the spread and promptly tore ass out of sight before a shot was made. The geese flew in not to long after as I was removing the yak from the water. I think they caught my blind mates dozing because again no shots were fired. An hour into our hunt I noticed birds landing further down the pond and decided that maybe I could change our luck by taking a little paddle down (and get some blood pumping in my cold hands). I jumped 2 geese with no chance and a little further on I bumped the rest of the flock out at the end. I decided to sit and see if they would come back. By this time we heard a steady flurry of shots coming from the other pond where we had planned to sit, but hey that's how public land works you gotta get there early.On my paddle back our luck finally changed I stopped to relieve myself on shore and heard my guys light em up. They had a group of 5 head in and only one would make it out. Also as it turned out the spot I chose to rest backed up to a smaller pond where our mallard friends were hold up. I busted them but I had the wrong gun in my hands so to speak. It sounded like the guys and girl at the other pond were having an epic day with shots coming right up until lunch. We had a few more birds fly by but nothing would commit. We wrapped up the day around one and began our long trek back to the car. it was an awesome day and we learned plenty about our new spot and what to do better next time. Grins were worn by all and we cant wait to get back on em. We ended our day with 4 geese, one for each of us. The other group only had 6 geese and 2 duck with one duck banded. The y shot a whole lot for only 4 more birds than us but i guess that's how ya learn I'm certainly in no spot to pick on someones wing shooting. I'm still surprised when I pull the trigger and one drops out of the sky.<br />

The good news is some fishing <strike>non hunting</strike> buddies saw the favorable forecast (highs near 50 overcast no wind) and planned a little winter fishing excursion. Fishing reports noted yellow perch being caught and crappie and pickerel are always a winter delight. No planning from me I got to be a tag along on this one. We skipped a local spot that was jammed with anglers plucking what yellows were available and opted for spots off the beaten track. Unfortunately the reason for the crowd was yellows accessible from shore. Our first two locations held fish, just not in casting range, and having left the kayaks at home <strike>Not all involved own one yet</strike> we were left to watch. The second spot we hit was for and different fish and the only catch there was my nephews lost boot from the hammer buck hunt.<br />

this one back. We moved again opting for some ponds with hope of a crappie bite and though they didn't co operate the bass and pickerels did finally livened up and the skunk was off.

I would do research find a new spot take a friend and watch them shoot a nice deer or catch the big fish. I not bitching though its been a great year and The nephew's and I started it out right this pass weekend. It was late shot gun season in Maryland and we were tired of the public land we usually hunt being over run with people so earlier in the week we started hatching a plan to try some where new. We decided to hunt some heavily hunted land on the eastern shore. Having never set foot there except a few fishing trips I began dig into google maps to try and get a lay of the land to set our point of attack.I was off Friday and had intended on doing a little hunt scouting before Saturday but life got in the way as usual. With no boots on the ground we would be going in blind. There was a impending snow storm which was good news The 4 to 6 inches forecast would keep mostothe fudds at home and the area we were planning to hunt was deep in past where average hunters will walk. So my Nephew Ryan his friend Matt and my great Nephew Dillon saddled up at 4 am for the drive to the shore. We hiked in and set up on a ridge overlooking the river bottom that I scouted on the map and watch the snow fall as the sun rose.The nephews would hunt together and Matt and I spread out across the ridge. at 9am little man Dillon was freezing as temps barely rose above the low teens. So Ryan decided that they should walk to the river warm up and maybe jump something down to us. Well they did jump something and I guess in time he might had made it to us but his trip was shortened by a 3" copper solid. Nice Shooting Ryan even though little man was the one who spotted him.<br />

Needless to say I was a proud Uncle when I saw the size of this hammer from over hunted public land whereIwas told deer like this don't exist. We tagged and drug this big boy about a mile and a half back to the truck checked him in dropped him off ate a great lunch and went back for an evening hunt. The snow piled up and the temp dropped to single digits, we held out until dark with just a couple tiny does seen. Another buck (known only from his tracks in the snow) crossed my path that evening a few yards from where I sat down after tweaking my bum ankle. Unfortunately I was facing the wrong way and never heard his sneaky ass in the snow. Like I said a great way to start 2017. Livin The Dream.</div>

Ok started this a week or so ago and never posted. A late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Y"all. I dropped off the internet after being married to the brick and mortar above for the better part of November. I needed a break and I had vacation days to kill. December started off with a bang. Tore up a early Holiday party with the work family.<br />

Then spent as much time in the woods as possible. I chased mr and mrs white tail to and fro but chasing was all that was happening. I watch as all my hunting partners punch their tags. I just couldn't catch a break.<br />

The smoke from wildfires lay thick over West Asheville this weekend and we were only a couple of miles from one of the fires. Prayers were said at dinner for some rain and we thought that relief was well on its way. The wife and I scrapped our plans to stay last night in Gatlinburg and enjoy Cades Cove one of our favorite places.<br />

Waking up this morning and checking the news I was shocked to see how bad it got last night. Our family there is ok for now.

Got the kayak wet for the first time since patching the crack I got in carolina. I paddled out from my house to meet some Snaggedliners at Ft Smallwood for the October meet and greet. The weather was gray and rainy which is usually my better fishing days. I did catch a bunch of fish, let just be glad size didn't matter.</div>

With work scheduled day and night from Sunday on I would have to wait until the next Saturday to get back to the water. With Baltimore's Fleet Week celebration in town I did get a little entertainment on Wednesday and Thursday. The Blue Angels were scheduled to perform on the weekend and their practice took place right over the city. It never gets old hearing the pure fury of the jets soaring over head and growing up near the Navel Academy I have had the pleasure many times. Its is always an awesome experience.<br />

On Saturday the 15th my yakin buddies and I had one last crabbing trip planned for the year. A cold snap had us wondering if we made the right choice. Unlike the fish, the crabs cooperated in size and numbers.<br />

Sunday I had painting scheduled at the college but once the Planes started flying I got distracted and decided to walk down to the wharf and take in the show. My better half went to Ft McHenry with my neighbor. She definitely got the best seats as I had to watch the action from across the harbor. She took plenty of pictures and rubbed it in with some great video.<br />

My repair on the kayak didn't hold so I will have to revisit that project this weekend after I get out of the woods. Mr white tail is a calling and my freezer is empty. So until next time......<br />

This getting old shit sucks I used to be crooked for 2 days when my back went out and now it takes every bit of 5. So most of my plans for the week were changed in favor of resting my bones. By yesterday I was feeling better took the pooch for a nice long walk in the rain and put my camping gear back in storage. I had a painting job to finish today and I guess my back wasn't ready yet. By the time I drove home I could barely get my ass out the car. I was gonna take the yak out for a paddle but instead watched the O's clinch a playoff birth. The fishing call was too strong though,so I limped my ass down to the pier at dusk and laid into some small stripers, which with the adult beverage I'm having right now has made everything cheery.<br />

I have lived around the Chesapeake all my life and spent the last 3 years on Stoney Creek and I will say that tonight was the most bait fish I have seen at once in my life. The whole creek was popping as far as the eye could see. I hope this is a sign of better times for the bay for as the menhaden thrive so will everything else.<br />
