Dust off the Rods

Wow!!  Its been almost 3 years since I used my blog.. Its time to catch everyone up..


Were not going to dwell on the past and the back story, its there if you want to read. After that little kick in the gut, it was followed up by the company I was working for, shut down the transportation department and the lay off of 172 of us.. OUCH!! Now lets fast forward...


Re- Married my best friend from my younger years, seems the grass wasn't greener on the other side for either of us and destiny brought us back together after 13 years and we are all grown up and having the time of our lives..


After numerous attempts at finding employment, I am finally with a company and team that I can consider a home. It seems I was over qualified for most driving positions and very stubborn about being paid for my 28 years of experience. Even took a job in Ft Worth hauling heavy equipment but I couldn't stand living in a truck for weeks on end..lol

Now lets get to the good stuff.. After all of this I was not going to lose my boat and I did everything I could to keep that from happening and it worked. I am so happy to say " I AM BACK IN THE GAME".  So with that being said I have been on the water, fished my first tournament after almost 3 years and can feel the passion growing minute by minute for the sport I had to put on hold. My wife ,family and friends have been so supportive and are behind me 110%. I nailed down a title sponsor for 2017 and am currently seeking other partners and companies to promote in the upcoming season. I intend to start my year off in September 2016 at the U.S. Open and just keep pushing on from there.. Most guys will be ending their season at the Open on Lake Mead but were going to start the next chapter there.  My adrenaline is pumping my eyes are watering the passion is still there and burning a hole in my soul to get out there and re-ignite that fire that has been smoldering for way too long. I intend to use ALL my social media outlets to promote the sport and companies that I feel are worth supporting and have the quality of products that  can make a difference on and off the water, I'll probably share some personal thoughts and opinions but were going to try to stay focused on fishing and the upcoming tournament season. For everyone that is still out there "Sorry for the dust" for those of you just tuning in and curious we'll try to make it fun and interesting to read.


Thanks Again Everyone!!


Sincerely,
Chester
