  • Hello From Anegada!

    Hello West Enders. I'm still alive a doing well. I retired a couple of years ago, and my wife and I moved to Anegada. We get back to Houston every couple of months to see our children, grandchildren and last (but not least) our doctors. We are usually very busy during our short trips to Houston, so I don't get to fish Galveston Bay very much. I will be in Houston for most of September (hurricane season in the Caribbean), so I hope to snatch up a few reds.

    Here are a few pictures from the past couple of years:

    I have been fishing a bit. Last month, a friend of mine and I were out in "Got Rum". He was trolling a topwater bait over a reef in about 20 feet of water when he caught this nice little spotted grouper.

    We have been lucky enough to see a lot of green flashes over the past few months.

    We saw green flashes on 5 consecutive nights in April.

          Love for y'all to come out to BRs sometime. The whole thing is awesome, especially the green flash. You gotta be fast on the trigger to catch that! Looks like y'all have the place back to before the storms. How are the buildings around you? Hard to tell from the photos. I'm coming back there someday. It truly is paradise.

                A green flash is a phenomenon that occurs right at sunset, where the very last visible part of the sun appears to turn green. To see it requires a distant horizon, clear atmosphere, and no clouds between the eye and the sun.

                See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flash
