Well, we have been in full blown tarpon season for a while now. I have to admit, I’m kinda ready for them to leave. The days are long, and days off are non existent. Random cancellations pop up here and there, but it’s tough to find people to fish with on short notice. I have had a few good days […]
Tarpon Season
Diablo Double Teaming Mingo
Ever since I got the Diablos tons of people have been asking me to take them out. The reason is because they have never been fishing on a paddle craft. This week Warren Chin hit me up to go. He is on vacation for the next two months. We made a game plan, loaded up the Diablos and off we […]
No Place Like Home
I’ve logged so many hours behind the wheel as of late I’m starting to feel like a truck driver. In the past two months I’ve fished from South Texas to South Florida. Irrespective of where I travel though, I still cherish the time I spend on my home waters around the Upper Texas Coast. The marshes around here are special […]
Welcome to Miami: “Small, Bright, and Heavy”
Day one: Bjorn Stromsness and Adrienne Comeau arrived early in the AM, and were to fish with Martin Carranza in Biscayne Bay searching for bonefish. I was to pick up Matt and Davin around lunch time at the airport. I arrive at Ft. Lauderdale Airport at 11:55 to pick up Matt Smythe and Davin Ebanks. I send a group text […]
Headed to the Motherland
It started a few months ago. I received an email from a fella named Matt Smythe about an idea he had for a Florida trip. Matt mentioned that Marshall Cutchin of MidCurrent.com had given him my info, and suggested he shoot me an email. Matt mentioned that he and a few other bloggers in the fishing world were to fly […]
Mothershipping to Mingo in horrible winds.
It was tuesday evening, I had just gotten back from a quick freshwater tarpon session. I got call from Kent and Alex about mother shipping the yaks to mingo. Since the forecast was calling for 15-20 knot winds. I was skeptical at first but then gave in to temptation. I really dont know how we were able to cram in […]
Mingo to Marathon
About Two weeks ago I got some kayaks/SUP from Diablo Paddlesports. Since I haven’t kayak fish in the last couple of months, all I’ve been craving is fishing these paddle boards ever since I took them out for the first time to the Marquesas with Chris Lewis. So this past Friday night I decided to check the weather and it proofed […]
Glutton for Punishment
My buddy John and I have talked about fishing the Everglades for big snook for years. Both of us have caught our fair share of Texas Linesiders (see photos below), but the primitive snook and tarpon-laden backcountry of southernmost tip of Florida has always peaked our interest. When I envisioned fishing The Everglades I pictured behemoth snook and laid-up poon […]

Ok, Maybe This is a Bit Harder Than I Thought!
Tarpon Season brings a lot of guys down to the keys with a common goal. Chase Megalops up and down the banks with a long rod. This year, I’ve been able to meet and fish with a few guys from out of town that are here for that very reason.
