New Year - New Opportunity

With 2019 having come to a close, a door has opened to a new decade. What you decide to take through that door, or leave behind, is entirely up to you. If you didn't already have an excuse to make a change before, you surely do now. That being said this blog is one of my changes. Late last year I started this website with big ambition but little commitment. Today I'm here to say that I'm back and firing on all cylinders.  2020 is in full swing so here's a few firsts of the year.

 

Jan 1st- My first bite came New Years Day! I wish I could say it was on my first cast, but there had been quite a few before this chunky 4 pounder (left) answered the call.

Jan 4th- My first tournament of the year! I weighed a 3 fish limit of 8.11 pounds with a big fish of 3.26. A pound shy of first thanks to the one that got away. Results

Jan 11th- My first tournament win and first 5 pounder! My co-angler and I weighed a 3 fish limit of 10.33 pounds with a big fish of 5.15. Results

Tournament reports and pictures will follow this week. 

Fair winds and following seas!

First and Foremost!

Welcome Aboard! 

Let's face it, most of you will probably never see this post. You've either been a follower from the start, or your dredging up the past.  If you are following from the start, I'd like to sincerely thank you for the support. I'd also like to apologize beforehand for the grammatical chaos that is about to ensue. I have no writing background other than what I have, or more likely haven't, learned in high school. With that being said, buckle up and bear with me! 

Who is I or me anyway? Allow me to introduce myself. My names Stan Krason and I'm 26 years old. I hail from Deerfield Beach, Florida and for the last 6 years I've been living in and around the tidewater area of Virginia, also known as Hampton Roads. I joined the U.S. Navy when I was 20 and have been stationed here ever since. Six years, two deployments, and one re-enlistment later I am now a Second Class Petty Officer serving my shore duty here in that same area.

When I first got here I thought it was going to be a huge let down like most. Now that I've settled in, I can tell you it is a fantastic place to be if you love the outdoors. The beaches are beautiful, and the bays and rivers run rich with life. There's even great deep sea fishing miles offshore if you can foot the bill for fuel. That's why I am starting this blog in hopes that the new 18 or 20 somethings, or anyone for that matter, can enjoy everything this area has to offer. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, subscribe and stay tuned. I plan to post weekly reports, recommendations, and reviews. It took me a few years to get Hampton Roads figured out, now I want to fast track all of you to its amazing options.
