Well, with all of this terrible weather, I haven’t been able to fish too much. So I’ve had some time to spend on the easel and focus on some artwork. Here are a few of my latest pieces. More photos of other cool stuff I’ve done recently.

Take the Good With the Bad
Well, sometimes, even though there’s clouds and wind, there’s still a chance to catch some fish. Although I sometimes find myself deciding to stay in, instead of bust my ass in the elements through rain and wind just to get those handful of shots. But in reality, thats what it’s all about. I mean, any angler can […]
Hc Svnt Tarpon
They were intended to be warnings. Rendered out of myth, legend, and tales of peril faced by those lucky enough to return from doomed voyages, illustrations of great monsters of the sea and beasts of the land were lent to maps and atlases to instill a sense of foreboding in those who looked upon the portraits of those places charted […]
A Few New Pictures
Just a few new pictures from recent days on the water. Enjoy!
Muddy Water Carping
With the heat of summer upon us, it is also time for that annual threat, the severe thunderstorm. Looking at weather forecasts, it seems as if thunderstorms are expected to occur every single day. They come quick and dump an inch or more of rain in a few short hours. For trout streams, this is replenishment. To a warm […]
Knocking ’em Down
Well, as many of my spring time fishing in the past, I have also been doing a little bit of redfish fishing. A little bit of bow time for myself, and putting some friends on some reds, too. After celebrating the Miami Heat Championship all night long, the headed to the park in the afternoon with Jose Sanchez on his […]
Los Cayo’s
Finally in Islamorada: Target for the day, Tarpon…. Fishing with Adrienne Comeau (female angle) and Matt Smythe (fishingpoet). We launched the skiff and are onto look for poonage. Adrienne had already caught her first post last year down in Key West, and Matt had fished for them in Islamorada in the past as well, so I was hoping for some […]
Cane Poling for Dinner
I never even put the paddle down….one handed, leader in the rod tip.
Jumping Poon Sequence
We went searching for tarpon again last week. The conditions were not as good as last time, but we found a decent amount of rollers. Brandon managed to stick a hook in one fish’s mouth. The fish jumped several times during the fight. He leadered the fish on a few occasions, but the fish managed to pull loose boat-side before […]
Bonefishing has been good….
Really good! The permit continue to show themselves but they haven’t been playing nice like the bonefish. The biggest emotional let down in fly fishing for me…when the permit hard charges the fly and at the last second turns away casually like nothing happened. WTF! Why do they do that?…”Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
