Every year about the beginning of March my mind starts to wonder from the shallows of South Florida. Despite the fantastic opportunities for permit and tarpon this time of year, all I can seem to think about is cobia! I basically learned to fish in the Florida Panhandle during my military days there, and every year since I moved away […]
Annual Destin TR
SWC Bahamas Part 4
I know…its old news now. But some of these memories are too good to forget. Just some more pics…Hootie Hoo said it best already.
Key West Tarpon Season
First and foremost I would like to take this opportunity to thank Vince and the Team at Skinny Water Culture for asking me to be a contributor to the Skinny Water Culture Blog. I’ve been following these guys on Instagram for a while now and have seen some of their products at the March Merkin Permit Tournament held here in […]
Gramps got the Big Fish
Woke up today with some horrible back pains and had no intention on fishing. As I made my way to the kitchen to grab a pain reliever , my grampa asked me if I wanted to fish? I couldn’t say no due to the fact that my grampa is always working. He is the hardest working person I know, and is always […]
Spring is in the air…
Spring is definitely here and the carp are enjoying it as much as I am. The warmer temperatures draw them to the surface where they slowly cruise, or lay up like tarpon. This is my absolute favorite scenario. It calls for unconventional tactics and thus the vast majority of carp anglers ignore these fish all together thinking that they are uncatchable. […]
The Psychopomp and the Angler
Ferrying deceased fish, glistening effigies to a former prowess, onto to their final resting places is my profession. I do not dispense the deathblows, as I am but a humble butcher. I lay no judgement upon the fish beyond that which dictates the preparation of their flesh. I move them quickly and freshly onward through the afterlife, and no second […]
SWC Bahamas 2013 part 3
Well well well.. the Bahamas trip for 2013 is over but not forgotten, I still have a ton of photos yet to be seen but I need to post some before it gets boring. The trip was great as everyone has already said. I am not here to write about it this time, just showing off […]
Bringing Sexy Back…
For carpers like myself catching an ornamental beauty is one of the best feelings there is. When you manage to catch three in one day… Now that’s something special. Who says carp are ugly?…
SWC Bahamas Trip 2013
Well, another year, another badass trip to the Bahamas. We had a great week with some great company. I miss it already, and am anxiously awaiting our return. The Bahamas is a special place…. boarding the plane in Miami and heading east is as close to going back in time as you can get. The flats are filled with all […]
SWC Bahamas….Don’t Even Bother Asking Which Island.
The last trip across the Atlantic gulf stream left me wanting more. Mostly just weather that didn’t resemble Canada. No offense Canadians. Luckily, another trip had been in the works for some time. When I saw this was a glimpse of what mother nature would provide, the juices started flowing. Logistically, it was another DIY trip. 8 good friends, two […]
