I would be more active in my other two interests. Flyfishing and Photography.

I would probably be making fishing flys or I would be running/cycling more. I use to love mountain biking.

I've always wanted to try fly fishing, for my eighteenth b-day my dad is taking me to B.C, Canada for fly fishing and hunting in the mountains and rivers

I would be bowling. Gave up bowling for golf. I like the outdoors and it gives me an excuse to travel to warmer weather in the winter.

motocross and gncc got old to you?! I could never get bored of rippin through the dez.. Racing at A level is pretty dang competitive, how long did you race for?

I've raced seriously for 7 years.

I raced against Justin Buckelew when I was 3 and 4. Then stopped and picked it back up when I was 17. It got old because I've had to many concussions lol... never broke a bone but always landed on my head, whether it was jumping a 120ft table top, or hitting a tree at 35mph, it was always my head. It also got old because I could never put in the dedication that I could as when I was younger. I work full time and have school now, so finding the time to work out and stay in shape to do a 3 hour race through the woods was getting harder and harder to come by. Just last month I had 5 bad rides in a row and just hung it up. Still have my KTM 250 XC, I'll probably go back.....just not as competitively. I know what you mean about ripping though, I love the feeling.

Spend more time golfing than fishing the past 2 years, but honestly if I had to pick one it would be inshore fishing....but of course we live in AMERICA, so I don't have to pick one!

Absolutely, the keys are great, have fished them 4 times. Honestly you can get a great bang for your buck in the clearwater to new port richey area of the west coast of florida. Netting live bait (scaled sardines) is easy and most everything smashes them. Fly fishing is good for trout and Jack Crevelle, also redfish. Tarpon can be had on fly in my area but best bet is a threadfin herring, pinfish, or grunt on a cork, also mirrolure plugs work well. Best areas for tarpon right now are off Honeymoon Island, Caledesi Island and Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs....right NOW. Snook are on the beaches, the big breeders (40 inches plus)....I usually don't fish them on the beach, too easy, no structure for them to break you off on.

Snook are my favorite (Largemouth Bass on ROIDS), pull a 35 incher out of the mangroves or around the dock pilings...then youv'e done something! Man, I got to go fishing!!!!

Before I became a golfnut, I flyfished, and rode my sportbike. I haven't gone fishing in a couple years but still ride the sportbike....whenever I can fit it in..
