Waiting for Gustav … But Don’t Wait Too Long

Posted by: Larry Bozka on August 30th, 2008

It’s a choice I made, living in a home less than a mile from the western shoreline of Upper Galveston Bay. I’m really happy here, and why not?

Mosquitoes or Yellowjackets, Scent Shop Skeeter Screen Passes the Test

Posted by: Larry Bozka on August 27th, 2008

Time to “Run With The Bulls” … Wind or No Wind

Posted by: Larry Bozka on August 14th, 2008

Being a Creedence Clearwater Revival freak from way back yonder, one of my favorite songs has always been “Who’ll Stop the Rain?”
As of my most recent attempt to get in some quality fishing, photography and video work done on the water, I believe at this point the biggest question at hand is “Who’ll Stop the […]
