Our first day of fishing in Thailand started at IT Monster lake, I'm certain that John our guide booked it this way on purpose. John is a unique individual, he owns BKK Fishing Tour out of Bangkok and because he speaks five languages he takes clients from around the world. He is the only fishing operator in Thailand that speaks Chinese so he basically has that market cornered and because of his knowledge of the US and good English many Americans choose him for their fishing adventures …
Adventures
Thailand
First off, yes, I would go back. I've been asked the question would I go back more than any other question. My answer is yes and it would be better because of what I learned the first time so hopefully by reading this you can learn a few things and make your trip better. It's hard to know where to start so I will just start with getting there, from DFW it's gonna cost you between $900-$1100. I personally didn't think that was a bad price and I'm pretty tight with money. The flight …

Dallas Safari Club Convention: Adventure 2017
The DSC Convention is by far my favorite hunting show to go to. They call it the greatest hunting show on the planet and I'm sure it is but I haven't been to all of them so I can at least say it is the greatest hunting show in my part of the planet. The first thing I noticed about this years show was that there were no protesters. I have seen them in the past here, especially if the news has a story about an auction for a select animal there, but it was 20 degrees today so I guess they only …
Christmas Stripers
Deer season has been pretty slow for me outside of the whitetail cull hunt but to be fair I haven't spent as much time in the woods as I normally do. The weather has been very very warm and I've been having good luck on the water so most available days have been spent fishing. Christmas week was calling for a very cold northern to blow in bringing temps down into the teens so Mary Ann decided to get in one last fishing trip before "winter". She doesnt do cold well at all so we thought this …
