About the June 2025 Cover
There is so much action in this private commission painted by popular Texas artist Calvin Carter any number of likely titles come to mind. To begin, that is one busy stretch of beachfront. Everyone is either bowed up fighting a fish or else landing one. Even the baitfish are busy trying to avoid becoming some gamefish’s next meal.
Days like this are special. Everything has come together with light winds and the all-important water clarity — green to the beach.
Ask any coastal anglers that’s experienced such a day and when conditions line up, everything else is put on hold. For those that have not experienced such a day the door of opportunity opens this month. This is one of those dream days that should not be put off but taken advantage of every time it occurs.
It’s also not just about the fishing, but all of the other subtleties like a face full of salt air breeze. Maybe it’s the visual of gamefish running the crest of waves breaking on a sandbar. It could be that high-pitched squeal of a reel drag being tested by a thick-shouldered fish.
This commission has captured these special moments. Now it’s your time to do the same.
