Couple that with a surrounding population of […]

“You dont know the lives you will ruin”
These little guys have no idea the havoc they will cause later on in life. They will pull apart marriages, friendships and some peoples sanity. But they will also make a few lifelong friendships and allow adventures unfold in the pursuit of the mighty Silver King. For now, dodging cars on an overcast afternoon is a lighthearted way to […]
F a L L
Well, firstly, I would personally like to welcome Fall back to the Florida Keys.

Fly Night at Rainer and Noel’s
Our buddy Rainer invited a few guys over his place to drink some booze, tie some flies and hang out. So a few of us went over and had a ball. We got there slightly earlier than the fly tying would be going down, so we messed around with Rainer’s 3 and 5 wt fly rods in his back yard. […]

About a month ago, I agreed to do some live painting at an event in the Brickell/Downtown Miami area. It was a music festival titled “Fishoutawata” by “The Cornerstoners”. I was one of four artist to be live painting. The artists involved were “Bruno Vago”, “Kazilla”, “Registered Artist” and myself. There was some awesome live music, and a great atmosphere. […]
