2008 a look back

What a great year 2008 was! We caught a lot of real trophy fish this last year and had a great time doing so. I'm really looking forward to 2009 and spending some more time on the great water we have in this neck of the woods. I continue to learn more about these great fisheries and how good they really are.

God has blessed me with great clients and great resources to use. 2009 might have a different look to it. I continue to struggle on how to make this thing a permanent job. With the tough economic times and jobs getting harder to find things might be a bit different. I will still guide this summer but it might be scaled back just a bit. I have been fostering other guides to work for Wildwood and believe I now have some of the best rivers guides you can find. As I watch the snow fall I keep thinking about high water for the spring and all those smallmouth sitting tight to the bank for the taking.

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas holiday and that the Lord has blessed you! Please continue to keep me in your prayers and I can't wait to see what God has for me and Wildwood Float Trips in 2009.
