OK folks, the photo gallery is gonna be simple...Some will be fish, others will not. This is my history as it involves fishing, so I'm gonna do it how I want to. As I get more stuff scanned, it will grow, but heres what I have for now...for all of you who want to know who I am... Here's Noel!.

I also have one other all consuming love in my life...the guitar. Heres me doing the other thing I love, New Years Eve, '99...Playin' away, Y2K style!

Fishin' Family History

This one is dedicated to the person that is responsible for my love of fishing, both directly and indirectly. He died when I was three years old, yet I can still remember him clearly. I'm not going to go into alot of detail, otherwise I will end up a sobbing mess at my computer screen...so, without further adieu, here's Grandpa Joe and me, with two nice flounder.

Second in creating my love of fishing was the next man. When Grandpa died, his brother, my Uncle Frank took over where he left off. He not only kept me fishin, but he helped shape me into the man I am today, being that my father is a jerk off and wasn't there to teach me. Here's Uncle Frank and my little sister Charlotte

Last in the teachers, but certainly not least is the woman that brought me into this world, my mother (insert "HI MOM!"). We're still working on training my stepfather, so for Christmas I bought him a copy of the book, "Fishing For Dummies!" (Actually a good book!) (BTW The only reason I specify stepfather is that Barney has been more of a father to me than the waste of Oxygen that helped conceive me, and I don't want anyone to be confused, Barney's the man! Anyway...) She and I have spent mornings at 5am trekking down the beach just to catch the incoming tide carrying four rods and sand spikes, a cooler, etc, etc...she might not ever see this, but here's her little corner of cyberspace...I love you, mom! Barney, just wait, give us a couple more years and you'll be walking it with us too...just don't forget the sunscreen for your head! My parents, New Years Eve

Fish Pics

Here's the one that started it all folks...my first striper, 7 lbs., 27 in. Not bad for my first one...ON MY FIRST CAST EVER TRYING TO CATCH THEM! Noel's first striper.

Here's where I give props to my little brother Josh, the coolest little brother in the world! He got up with me one morning to go catfishing and it paid off. Not the biggest fish, but for two and a half hours fishing, we had enough to fry up. Josh and a fine mess o' catfish.

While we're on the subject of Josh, here he is with his first two keeper striper... Josh's first keepers. The 13yo hangin' tongue look.

Now, if you wanna see some of the wierd things that can happen Catfishin', take a look at this! I was fishin' on the bottom with a live bream, in about 30 ft. of water...and caught this! Yes, thats a 7.3lb Largemouth!

Remeber the mention of the topwater plug with the grub behind it on my striper page? Well, when they're schooling good, (even if they're little) Here's what can happen...and you'll cuss 'em for all they're worth once you get them to the bank, cause you'll swear you had a keeper! I swear it's a keeper...awwww, d@#%it!

Fishin' Buddies

Well, besides my family, I have to have some friends to fish with, and the best way to get a bunch of friends to fish with is to have a LAKEHOUSE PARTY!

After the party is over though, only the diehards stay, and we happened to catch a nice school of crappie as we stumbled around the dock that morning...Noel, Stacey, and David, with a nice stringer o' crappie.

I just recently got a new fishin buddy, matter of fact, he hasn't even been fishin' with me yet! Pretty hairy little fella too...Me & Barak

I guess I should mention my dear, sweet, kind, loving...awwwww, who am I fooling...the woman that has put up with me for five years. She caught her first keeper striper last season, and it's been downhill since! Jen & Barak

My boy Johnny hadn't fished in eight years when I mentioned on day at work I was going, and he wanted to go too. Well, now he and Jen fight over who is gonna go with me. Here he is, the night we actually had snow in SC a few weeks ago! heeeeeeere's Johnny!

Here he is folks, half of my twin cousins, Michael. This is a picture of him and I on Bourbon St. We have fished more since we were children than probably anyone has fished with me. Noel and Michael...now where's Neil!

MORE COMIN' SOON! KEEP CHECKIN BACK!
