Cliches and Shit
El Chupacabra
My brother Matt was married on a Friday evening in the Poconos to his ultimate catch, Stacy. The wedding party spent the weekend at a lake house nearby and word on the street was that there were hordes of carp inhabiting the waterway. Needless to say, but along with my wedding attire I packed a truck load of fishing equipment […]
Ailing Afternoon Drive
After being trapped all day in bed with a fever, I decided to get out in hopes that it would at least clear my mind. So I made a call and was on my way. My buddy Warren Chin and I stopped by Strongarm Products new facility to check it out. Of course, we brought fly rods with us, as […]
Oh, Caledonia
I have big hands. Though, as hands go, they are not particularly long. Not of the kind that reach beyond the wrist and threaten the forearm. Nor are they so wide that they swallow other hands, offered in friendly greetings or goodbyes, whole. What they are is thick. Heavy. Fleshy. My palms crease deep and black along their head and […]
Way-backcountry snookin’
With all the freshwater being dumped from Lake Okeechobee into the Caloosahatchee River I have been traveling to find better water and explore new places. Today I was fortunate enough to fish out of Everglades City with Nick of 239 Flies. I didn’t have the camera out for very long but was able to snap a few quick photos of […]
River Magic
Our last action on magicicada dry flies came in late June on a local river. It came after a long sibling biking trip when I was able to survey a large portion of the watershed. While my brother and sister were enjoying the scenery, I constantly had my neck turned towards the river and my ears perked towards the […]
Back Up Tails – Islamorada Variety
Last week, fellow blogger Jeremy Loercher hit me up and said he’d be making his way down to the Keys, and asked if I’d hitch up my skiff and meet him in Islamorada to put a bend on the long rods. I checked my schedule and the conditions and agreed. So Sunday night I drove down to the Kon Tiki […]
Solo Mission to Mingo 8/3/13!!!!!! DAMn YOU THERMOS
After working all week long, I needed to get some fishing done. This week I had to work or DJ every single day. A last minute cancellation for my gig on Saturday, gave me a window. Friday night while Djing in South Beach, I was contemplating on wether to hit the park or not! I was very tired at the […]
Mission “First Slime”
Everyone who knows the name DJ Dan Decibel knows that he is an authority on everything that is fishing in Flamingo. So naturally when dragging the new skiff down to get its first slime, he was the first person on my list of people to get on the boat. Luckily the timing worked out and he was able to pull […]
Eeeeslahmoerahdah
This past weekend, it was my birthday. And I decided to spend it with a couple of buddies down in Islamorada for some fishing. Mike Rossi had never caught a redfish, so that was on our agenda.
