It’s That Time of the Year
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 […]
Fireworks in Flamingo
I was down in the park for one of my routine visits, on Independence Day. While I was out fishing, word had spread that there was a fire in the park. The one road in and out had been shut down. The fire burned roadside and even jumped the road. And spread into the depths of the park. But with […]
Grass Carp
After seeing Adam Hope post a new pic of a slob Grass Carp a few weeks ago, I got inspired to leave the Keys for a day and do some canal fishing on the main land. The canals up there are loaded Grass Carp and time after time they prove to be a challenging opponent. We managed to find tailing […]
Canvas and Acrylics
Throughout the NBA playoffs, I found myself far too into what was an emotional roller coaster. Feeling great at the highest points, and feeling like gum on the bottom of a carny’s shoe at the lowest. So when the Miami Heat finally made it to the Finals, I knew it was going to be brutal. I had to find something […]
