New season of fishing 2012

I'm back! And boy, has it been crazy. I have lots and lots to write about. Today is March 4, 2012. Grumps and I, and my nephew Zak are heading to the fishing show to start our new fishing adventures for the year. Cory, aka Monk, is not able to attend but will be there with me in spirit. I will be writing more now, once again, as I've hit another hard chapter in my personal life. I'd like to announce I have a new love interest in my life, and her name is Kari. With her outstanding computer, I will now be able to write more in order to relieve the stress in my life. I do want to add that I now have THREE grandsons! My latest addition is Joseph Lister. Let me just end this post by saying that I hope everyone has a great day and I'm heading to the fishing show at the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Have a great day!

Back to my blog.

I want to say sorry for not keeping up my blog, it's been a rather interesting time around here. Cory the Monk has now been living with me now for almost 15 months, and boy have we had a time fishing and hunting with Grumps. My grandsons are Elias and Danny Matt are both big boys and are the apples of my eye. I know writing on my blog helps me keep focused on whats real and keeps me in touch with things, I love the most my family, kids, and grandkids and the love of the outdoors. I have a ton a stuff to add now, and I expect to hear some feedback on the events of this past year. and the new funny stories I have to tell now. Wow almost a year since my last post, where did the time go? I will admit my health is not good at this time and I'm trying to get in shape for this year hunting season. My heart and spirit are willing but not the body. I want to add that many things have changed in the past year but my dreams and hopes are still the same, and regardless of what happens in my life, the ideas I hold true will always remain. Til My next post real soon. Keep those lines tight.

My Danny Matts

Well tonight is my 47th Birthday, wow I'm getting old! Grumps and I were supposed to go fishing at Seawolf Park for a night of speckle trout fishing under the lights however, the weather was not right winds were blowing to hard out of the Southwest and I need a Southeast wind to clear the bay water. And with my very personal problem,my mind would not have been good on the trip either. My children called me today Joey and Sarah, wished me a Happy Birthday, and for that I'm very grateful. My children, and their spouses, and now my Danny Matts, are the reason I live and work every day. My wonderful daughter-in-law Tania, is doing great early stages of her pregnancy, I wish her the best over the next few months I know she will be an outstanding mom. Right now, I getting ready to embark on very hard trip with Grumps, and next week will be the most intense period since my time in the 1st Gulf war, right now I feel like at Defcon 4 the start of nuclear war, my spirit is high and systems are ready for the start of the war. I want everyone to know I not the type to start a war but I will bring one back to anyone who wants to hurt me. Until my next blog Have a Great month and those fishing lines tight.

Cory Martin Cruz, aka "the monk"

I wanted everyone to see Cory, aka "the monk" he is my youngest son. Cory, is a great fisherman, and loves the outdoors. Last, year for his part of summer vacation with me, monk, grumps and I went fishing two nights at Seawolf Park, Galveston, Texas. The monk caught his fair share of sand trout. Cory, is the reason, I have been traveling to North Carolina, all these past months. I know soon monk and I will be reunited again, but I will have to wait for that day to come. I have to tell a funny story, about the monk and I. About 5 years ago, Cory and I went hiking near Kerr Lake, North Carolina, as we were hiking along a creek we came to spot where a ton of carp were schooling in pool in a feeder stream leading into the lake, the monk, got so excited and said, Dad, lets go get the fishing rods and catch some fish, I had to break his heart and let him know, Dad, really does not like to eat carp, but his smile and excitement at the moment will always live in my heart. Grumps and I tried another fishing trip two weeks ago again with no luck, old man winter will not give into the spring, so another bad trip of fishing. We did manage to catch some sun fish but not single crappie or catfish. I will heading to Seawolf park next Saturday night in search of specks, and hopefully a big black drum, the forecast is still to far out for me to say this trip is a go, but I will have another post soon and let everyone know how it progresses. I want to wish every one a Happy Easter and to remember why we celebrate The Easter season.

Fishing/Danny Matt/Fishing Show/Hockey/Back to North Carolina

Hello, everyone sorry, has it been a crazy few weeks around here since my last post. Grumps and I tried to fish early for some white bass on the San Jacinto river 2 weeks ago but no luck, the wind would not stop blowing out of the north all day. We did head up river to Stubbyfield lake where the river backs into lake Conroe, but no luck there either. Not a single strike all day. We there the day a boy got lost near the river, what a rough area, but lucky the boy was found the next day. The next weekend was miss as well but for a great reason, my grandson, Danny Matt was in town for about week with my daughter, Sarah, and boy do I have a good looking grandson, I now know how good looking I was as baby, just joking Donald, no Danny Matt looks just like his Dad. Sarah, is doing an outstanding job in taking care of my grandson, and his dad helps a lot as well. The fishing show was in town last weekend, and Grumps and stocked up on some great new rigs for specks and redfish for this up coming season. Joey, my oldest son, is interested in fishing so, being the good dad, that I'm I bought him, a new Darwa fishing combo. I will teach him everything he needs to know. The weather was looking good for a fishing trip in the earlier part of the week, but mother nature said, just one more taste of winter before spring. A major cold front blew in on Thursday night just killed any idea of fishing anywhere. Good News!! Seawolf Park Fishing Pier is back open!!! The only fishing pier open on Galveston Island, since Ike,Watch out fish Grumps, Joey, and I will be soon stalking you there. Grumps, Joey,Donald, and I had a chance to watch my nephew Taylor, and his honor guard team present the colors at the Aeros, hockey game on Friday night, and boy did he do a great job, just before the game started a couple, behind were asked if they would like to upgrade to the best seats in the house, the guy, stated, and I quote," I really don't like hockey, but I'm here for my sister", I jumped and said, I love hockey, so all four us were lead, down to ice next the players box, for the duration of the game, Joey,and Donald were seen on the Jumbo Tron, screen, and we could bang on the plastic shield, all night, Grumps bought a round of beers, what a night, live on the ice. Now, the not so good news in my life. I will be leaving on the 18th of March to start looking for Cory, my youngest son. I will be back in North Carolina, again, I hope and pray I will be getting closer to bring him back home. This trip is going to be totally business, I will be asking everyone I can find if they know where his mother and he are now at. The only thing that keeps me going is my family and the backing have here in Houston, when I'm up there. I know if anything happens to me. My family will ensure that Cory we be taking care of. Well I have a long week a head of me, so I want to close my blog with this thought. If your family is always behind you are never alone. I want to wish every one the best in there week. Grandpa Cruz
