Another father/son fishing excursion with Capt Crystal Pesek at Steinhatchee Marina at Deadman's Bay.
4 yr old Harrison and his daddy, Tony, reeled in many large trout on this late afternoon sunset trip.
Memories made that will be shared for a lifetime.

A father/son birthday fishing trip for Mark; compliments of his son, Brian!
What a wonderful gift!
Both thoroughly love being outdoors and are avid anglers; and it showed Saturday!
They started the day by competing with catch counts, and fun banter on who's winning. The trip ended with both being the winners as they were able to enjoy God's creation while spending quality time with each other doing what they both enjoy, CATCHING!!
Yes, it was a memorable day!
*Note: Brian is 6'5" so the fish he's holding are bigger than they appear. Lol

As my mind is trying to understand the devastation that Hurricane Helene left in our little community, my heart breaks.

Looking at pictures and post of the buildings that are no longer where they once were, or of the remnants of what is left;
I don't see destruction, yet I see a friend or neighbor. I see their smiles as we wave to one another as we pass on the road, I hear laughter as we eat together at a local restaurant, I hear my fellow captains chatting as we share our fishing or scalloping stories as we sit in the shade of the marina, I remember each client as I glance at the Gulf and towards my boat slip that is no more.

Yes, tears flowing as my heart breaks.

Yet, I know for sure two things stand strong and unwavering:
1. Our endurance to cleanup, rebuild and help one another
2. God is with us always; watching over us and guiding us as we call on him for strength and comfort.

Please continue to pray for Steinhatchee and all those who were hit by Hurricane Helene.
Thank you friends and family

Please keep our little community in your prayers as Hurricane Helene just passed directly over us at a Cat 4.
Our little fishing/scalloping town has sustained extreme flooding.
This is our third direct hit within 13 months. We need your prayers.
Thank you 🙏

"Team Grace Christian Church" at it again!
Ferlain, an experienced angler, and Krissy, a cheerful student angler, thoroughly enjoyed their time on the water today catching a variety of fish!
The overcast sky and windy conditions didn't stop us from having fun!
Wonderful day exploring God's creation from a boat!

FANTASTIC FRIDAY!
Do charter captains fish while on vacation? Absolutely! And they especially love taking their family fishing!
Today my husband and I took our son, Quinn, and grandson, Kepler, on the big pond for a few hours. And what a fun time we had catching Spanish mackerel, sand trout, speckled trout, lady fish and more!
Grateful for our family and their love of the outdoors!

"Thankful Thursday!"
So what do Steinhatchee charter captains do when they take vacation in the summer? SCALLOP, of course!
Ever so thankful for my family and the time we get to spend together, especially exploring God's underwater creations!☀️
