2008 Review

Well, the first three weeks of 2009 have been a living nightmare at the office. I have fished once this year. Painful.

Anyways, I have finally come up for air and went back and did the 2008 year in review last night. I learned a lot of things in 2008:

(1) Tarpon fishing is a disease. It pollutes your mind. It absorbs your being. It's bad stuff. I want more. Lots more. :smt007

(2) It is a hell of a lot easier to punish redfish in the skinny stuff with a buddy on the push pole as opposed to me and my troller. It also helps to do it in a boat that drafts 4 inches of water. Thanks Bill. :thumbup:

(3) I took way too few pictures with my own camera. Bill owns a Nikon D80. A D80 is a hell of a camera. Bill has lots of pictures. I don't. Thanks Bill. :smt012 :wink:

(4) I did not shoot any video footage this year. Shame on me.

(5) We are blessed with an amazing fishery. Let's preserve it. :beer:

With all that being said, here is a short slideshow that is lacking of video footage and plentiful pics (see items 3 and 4 above):

Nolefisher, Sweet work. I was snoopin through your pics and came across some Grizzly Crabs on the table. Could you hook me up with a pattern. Also, how does the deer hair weed guard work out. Looks pretty slick.

Here's a link to the whisper crab Joe. http://www.bigbendfishing.net/phpBB3/vi ... 19&t=20216

The deer hair weed guard is mediocre at best. It's hard to beat 20lb Mason.
