I could start this post by telling you that I’ve fished my whole life, which would be true, in a way. As a kid I fished the lakes of Valrico,FL for bass, catfish, bluegill, and even alligators. Basically anything that would bite my lure was what I was after. I loved fishing back then, but that’s not when my obsession truly […]
The Addiction
Backyard Awesomeness
Had the day off yesterday and the weather was amazing. Fished the Everglades National Park with my good friend John. We spent most of the day looking for tailing reds and despite the perfect conditions the fish were hard to find. I feel blessed to have this giant fishing playground in my back yard and love the opportunity to fish […]
Tidal Carp
Fly fishing for carp has opened up a lot of fishing opportunities in a region I am otherwise quite limited in without owning a boat. After several years of plying my craft in local rivers, creeks, lakes, and ponds I began looking elsewhere to satisfy my urge for freshwater ghosts. I found it in an unlikely place I had written […]
Tying the KNOT pt.1
When my fiance and I decided to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon lots of stuff immediately raced through my head; beautiful islands, great weather, taking my first trip with my new wife and way back in the deep dark part of my brain… monster bonefish. So as any good husband does I began to research for our trip. I […]
MIAMI BITE
This is a video that I submitted to the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust Art and Film Festival. This video got 2nd place in the Festival, I was really stoked to have my video viewed alongside talented and passionate filmmakers. I wanna start by saying this is the most fun Ive ever had filming a video and super thankful that Plastic […]
Long H i atus
To say that I haven’t posted anything in a long while would be an understatement. I have a list of excuses, but I don’t even want to hear them myself. Busy season lasted longer than it ever has for me this year, which is hard to complain about. Getting to fish for a living is a dream job to me, […]
Rainy Days
The weather in the Keys has totally gone to crap the last few days. Endless rain and wind have me cooped up in the house, and it’s starting to get to me. I came across this video while schmoozing on the Venturing Angler website. I was mesmerized by watching these micro permit feeding in their natural environment. And, the title […]
The Lure of the Light
I pray that this little write up about hitting dock lights finds you tomorrow morning during your glorious toilet time or while trying to find something to spice up your mid week work day. My buddies and I have been avoiding the crowded late summer boat ramps and hot as hell days in southwest Florida by hitting the water at […]
“OMG” Poonfecta Video
This a baby Tarpon Video that I submitted to the “Poonfecta Fishing Tournament and Film/Art Festival” that was hosted by BARFLY SAFETY HARBOR. I ended up winning the film festival with this film. It was a great event with an awesome fishing format for baby Tarpon. I had a lot of fun filming and fishing during the make of this […]
West And East
I did not fish the tarpon migration this year. Nor did I give chase to hefty spring time redfish wallowing in a meadow of turtle grass or pot-bellied snook foraging before the gentle bubble and foam of a mid-summer beach break. I haven’t even been south of Wall Street in the last six months. All of which is decidedly uncharacteristic behavior for someone […]
