Deep Mud Adventures
Sometimes You Get Lucky
It looked like we were going to have a low tide this morning, so I hustled to get ready and go out in my kayak to see what might come of it. I didn’t take a lot of gear or have much of a plan. The light was harsh, but I shot video of pretty … Continue reading
First Total Immersion of 2019
Well, I finally made another trip to one of my favorite spots in the swamp. I didn’t go where I planned to go because, once again, the low tide was at least 4 inches (10 cm) short of the desired level. I wish I had ten or twenty years of tide level history to compare … Continue reading
Returning to the Beginning
Yesterday, I set out on an adventure with the goal of locating a spot I had last visited when I was still shooting on a VHS analog video camera (over 20 years ago).

A Hot Day in the Swamp
Tuesday, June 19 was a hot, sunny day, and the low tide was around 9:30 AM. I hadn’t been out in the swamp in weeks, so I took the morning off and ventured out on the creek. The tide was pretty low when I arrived, but it was still going out. I had just enough … Continue reading
