Kayak Fishing, Bowling, Basketball, Hiking, and Camping

I enjoy a day out on the water trying to outsmart the fish and taking home a wonderful story of just being out there in nature. Crabbing and fishing anywhere I can. I am still looking for my first 300 game, I came close a few times. 

Any time I can pull over and just shoot the ball is a good day for me. Camping and hiking is just a good time to get out of the house.
