I picked up a sweet new 8wt rod a few weeks ago and decided it was time to get a coating of slime and mud on it. This thing is light… On the road early to fish far, unknown waters… Jason and I found a good topwater bite early… Fishing the edges spartina grass… These rascals were all over the […]
New Gear, Preview of Fall, and a Few Trips South
9/12/11 Everglades National Park on the Kayak
Great day. Hooked two tarpon on topwater. Went 2 for 3 Reds on fly. Also got two reds on spin including a fat 27″ on the money for dinner. Lots of wildlife today. Also seen an 18″ sawfish and some nice snook but couldn’t get a shot. It rained for nearly 2 hours in the morning but it was kinda […]
9/11/11 Florida Insider Fishing Report
Captain Rick Murphy asked me to do a segment for the kayak edition of the Florida Insider Fishing Report. Thanks to Jeff Suber for recommending me. It was a bit nerve racking but fun none the less. Here is a video someone took with a cell phone. I will post a link when the real video becomes available. I believe […]
Counting Sheeps(head)
Well to sum it up. I put 3 absolute perfect shots on 3 fish with three dif flies and they all got ignored. Found out the sheeps were eating muscles after spooking one off and looking at what he left behind. They were everywhere! We seen over 30 fish some nice sized.

I know Vince is going to be first in line.You […]
Summer Storms
If you fish in Florida, there is no doubt you have been running into these afternoon storms lately. It has been raining down here in South Florida for weeks. The action has been spotty with the high temps but there are still plenty of fish to be caught.

We drive down deserted roadways still wet from a weeks worth of rain dodging stray dogs, cats, and chickens. Arriving at the harbor we lay eyes on our home for the next five days, a […]
