F*ck BP

Just a little update on the F*ck BP shirts!

Proceeds from June alone we’re able to donate $995.00 to the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary. If you would like to know more about the organization please check them out at http://www.seabirdsanctuary.com.

via Skinny Water Culture: F*ck BP.

Exactly.

The guys over at Skinny Water Culture have a message that I think most of us would agree with.  A portion of the proceeds ($10 a shirt) from these shirts will go to folks helping with the clean up and recovery from this clusterfuque of an oil spill (Mobile Bay Keepers).  The shirt is $24 and should be available today.  I’m ordering mine now.

Dude… this boat once belonged to Tim Borski.

If it was good enough for Borski, it is good enough for you.

This boat was posted up by the good folks over at Skinny Water Culture.  Check it out.  Buy it.  Take me fishing.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there… really, there are probably very, very few moms reading this, but, still… cheers.

My mother lured my father into thinking she was going to fish, but after the wedding, she never fished again, or so goes the local folklore.

My wife, mother of my 3 year old, tried fishing very, very briefly on a trip to Montana/Yellowstone.  She saw a big snake in the grass along the Firehole and also rather forcefully declines my assistance with her casting while at a high mountain lake going after Yellowstone Cutts… those two episodes concluded her short-lived and undistinguished fishing career.

Still, there are some great angling women/mothers out there for my little girl to take as role models on the water.

A few other bits from around the web, non-mom related:

• Moldy Chum with some… disturbing bits about the Gulf oil leak.
• This is Fly Daily picks up the One Surf Fly story… see, that is starting to look like fun… and that SoCal surf looks a lot more agreeable than the Santa Cruz breakers.
• Nice little post from our friend over at Flatswalker about our “quiet” sport.
• MyTurksandCaicosBlog has a bit about mangroves… I love mangroves.
• Trip report from Skinny Water Culture down in the Keys.

Some bits and pieces from around the web.

• A REALLY good interview with Dr. Aaron Adams on the Fishing Jones blog.
• An interview with… wait for it… wait for it… ME on the A Bad Backcast blog.
• Skinny Water Culture 2nd Annual Tarpon Season Kick-off (or, yet another reason I wish I lived in FL), via This is Fly Daily.

I’ve been a fan of Skinny Water Culture since I found them last year in my search for some non-lame bonefish t-shirts.  I’m actually wearing one of their shirts right now (check out their gear here).  They put out some pretty good looking products and they seem to know what they are talking about.  That’s why I was happy to see, via This is Fly Daily, that they have started a blog.  A few visits to the blog and I know it’ll be a regular stop for me.

I’ve been on the hunt for a good bonefish t-shirt.  There are a couple I’ve found that have bones on them… one from Patagonia, one from the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, but both have Tarpon and Bones.  My fixation is centered on bones, so I kept looking.  I’m glad I kept looking because I found exactly what I was looking for… a shirt that is… simply… bad-ass.  This shirt comes from an outfit called Skinny Water Culture… check them out and buy a shirt… they = ruling.
