By the third day I had fallen into a routine. Adjusting to “island” time, I found myself sleeping in late, sitting and enjoying the view on the porch, and maybe fishing for an hour or two before picking up my brother from school. With bonefishing being as difficult as it is on the island, I learned over the past few […]
Knowing What To Look For
Magic Jones
So I have been trying to leave my past behind but thanks to the latest chick flick “Magic Mike”, my past has come to haunt me. You see, this movie is based after my life, except they called me “Magic Jones”. Chase’s lady called me out last week as I posted my first story. To which Chase asked how she knew […]
You don’t know Jack!
Unfortunately…yes, yes I do know Jack. I saw some bonefish cruising around but I was having trouble getting close…I decided to hope out and go after them on foot. I waited a few minutes and two nice pushes come down the flat. Put the shot right on them and hooked up instantly. Next came the blazing run…Hell yes! Bonefish on! […]
It’s That Time of the Year
You ready?
Flying Solo
With my brother still teaching for most of the trip, I was flying solo around the islands and hitting up some favorite spots for the last time. This meant that I would have little opportunity to get some proper images. Most of the images from the trip will be GoPro video stills (sorry everybody). Last year we explored a more […]
Deadliest Catch – Flamingo FFT
I made it down to the park with Mario. We chased around the big reds and snook all morning in the super skinny. But then the wind decided to turn and kick up to 30mph. So, mario blind casting with the spinner felt something. he reeled in and turned out he somehow hooked a crab around the claw….lol Hit the […]
Personal best black drum on fly
I have spent some time lately trying to pattern some big ugglies that have been moving onto a flat to feed. I saw the fruits of my time investment pay off as I showed up to the flat one Saturday. About half an hour into the trip I was starting to think that these fish might have moved on when […]
Marsh Donks
The fishing has been good on the Upper Texas Coast when I have been able to get out between the storms that have been rolling through from the Gulf. I’ve got rained-out a few times lately, but I’m not complaining because we need the rain. Especially after the historic drought last year. The marshes on the Upper Texas Coast are […]

I went over to Naples to visit my brother and see what he had going on. He and his girlfriend Shannon run a Non-Profit Organization that rescues Pitbulls. Him and his small crew drive all over the state of Florida saving pitbulls from shelters just before they get put down. Then, they keep them in their own shelter until someone […]
Brutal Defeat and Sweet Victory
Day 1: I arrived to an incredible scene…pink sky, light warm wind, any shiny silver tails waving about…this is what summer fishing is all about. I was in perfect position as I took quality shots at tailing bonefish crossing the flat. I continued on later in the morning to the next flat. I waited for any signs of life and […]
