Dorado or bust!

Had an epic day out at "The Dump" with my fishing buddy Alec. Unfortunately, this little fella couldn't be released back into the wild!

This time of year I'm always reminded it's hurricane season. While fishing with my father (Captain LD Hower) I'm often fascinated when he points out actual storm wreckage from past storms that he either has experienced himself or has heard about from older Watermen (e.g. The Hurricane of 1938). I came across a great web site that tracks past hurricanes (as well as fresh ones). You can see for yourself here: www.noaa.gov
