Trout and puppy drum fishing has been good in the sound lately. My brother and I have been getting on it almost every day at 5AM for a few hours. Great way to start the morning. So nice having world class fishing less than a minute from your house. Here’s a photo I grabbed this morning of a puppy drum Dave caught. Beautiful fish. We’re all about catch, photo, release.

Scored the Perfect Day spread in new June 2013 issue of Surfer Magazine. It was about as good as it gets in my book. I’d been swimming for a few hours and forced myself to get out and shoot a couple lineups from the beach. I was running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off trying to take advantage of the perfect conditions and golden light, which is a rare combo on the Outer Banks. It’s usually one or the other. All of the elements finally came together here.
