Had a busy day at work yesterday, I got home pretty late. As I finished eating my dinner, I quickly made a dash to my bed for some rest. As soon as I laid on my bed, my friend Jason a.k.a PK, called me to go fishing for a couple of hours. I quickly replied, NO WAY!!! I was so […]

How I Wasted My Summer
So I started this about four months ago, while waiting on an airplane and it seems like I didn’t have more than two minutes to sit and think until now, waiting on another airplane. The time that lapsed between these two flights included many other small flights, boat rides, despair, safety meetings, hikes, pistol toting, net jobs, filleting, constructing, high […]
Over Due
September and October for me was relatively casual. I didn’t have much much work going on, I got to do plenty of traveling, and I got to spend some time with some great people both on and off the water. I eagerly await the rest of the fall down here. The fishing should be great, and I may even get […]

The Gheenoe Life
It seems like now a days my bank account is always in the red. But I was lucky enough to save a little cash and invest it in the Highsider Gheenoe this year. When i look on the instagram feed for #skinnywaterculture i always see pictures of people using a gheenoe to absolutely crush fish. I wanted to bring a […]

The 2013 Herman Lucerne Memorial Backcountry Fishing Championship
I first learned of the Herman Lucerne Memorial about three and a half years ago. It was during the wee hours of a Monday night. Or a Tuesday morning depending on which side of the sleep cycle you may have been on. I was shivering at the bottom of a January cold front in my tiny radiatorless room, in […]
Back to Your Roots
Now I am far from what people would describe as ‘sentimental’. But I do have a special place reserved in my heart for the small streams of western North Carolina. These streams are what introduced me to and eventually made me fall in love with fly fishing. On that same note, I owe a lot of that to a good friend named Ben Castle. Coincidentally enough, these streams are the first place that Ben and I fished together. We meet up every few months to fish, mostly here in south Florida, the Bahamas, and sometimes out in Colorado. But we always make a point of heading back up to WNC to hit these beautiful small streams. 
Home Town Snookin’
As a college student away from home, the thought of getting back on my home waters is always on my mind, so when the opportunity presented itself for me to head home I jumped on it. I packed swiftly, making sure I had the essentials, my SWC hat, fly rod, and whatever clothes were clean. Leaving my apartment here in […]
“Snook Blitz”
After a slow morning looking for hungry fish on the flats, near Gasparilla Sound, we were ready to call it a day. Bryan, Courtney, and myself had put in some hours blind casting the 8 and 9wt fly rods into the wind. Sore hands and blisters were common on the boat that day. With the wind blowing the water into the harbor […]
Overnight SUP setup
For anyone interested in how I set up my SUP for fly fishing and camping. Nothing official just what I do. Don’t forget safety equipment like a vest and first aid kit!
