Cameras, Writers’ and Non Stop Action
Well we are just coming off of our first major Tackle and writers’ conference this year. Myself and our Capt.’s’ have spent the last 5 days trying to get off shore and covering the entire Lower Laguna Madre to get the photos and the necessary fish for all the journalists. Folks who think these writers events are a party and get together for tackle companies, T.V. and writers, you are sadly mistaken. After hosting these events for the last nine years it has become some what routine for us, to have world class journalists, and tackle company executives here to get the necessary photos, stories and requirements for their respective publications and is a real honor. Photos and stories from this event will grace the following publications in the following months to come.
Salt Water Sportsman
Field and Stream
Florida Sportsman
Shallow Water Angler
Sport Fishing
Texas Sporting Journal
Texas Outdoors Journal
Texas Fish and Game
Texas Salt Water Mag.
