I’ve been a Mercedes Benz technician for a little over 11 years now. One of the perks of my career is that I get to travel from place to place learning about some of the most technologically advanced vehicles on the road. When Mercedes puts out new models or updates old models every few years, they send Technicians like myself […]
Business Trip
Canoe Conquest
For me, any day in the Florida Everglades is a great day but the other day happened to be a particularly good one. I began my morning with a phone call, my buddy Magnus wanted to see if I was down to shoot around in his canoe in the Everglades for some snook. I couldn’t refuse this great opportunity. We […]
Putting Some Back
I am an avid Catch and Release angler but sometimes it helps to do a little more. Last week I got to participate in a Largemouth bass stocking program on Back Bay, located in Southern Virginia Beach. Back Bay was once a world class fishery but since the early eighties it has declined immensely. Some say it has been over-fished, […]
Chesapeake Bay Stripers
Spring brings the world’s largest striped bass into the Chesapeake Bay as they follow a smorgasbord of bait and other anadromous species on their annual migration on the East Coast. Although not too far away, I never got around to targeting stripers on fly or gear, but for only a few hours this year I was able to get out […]
Windy City Weekend Warrior
This past weekend I jumped on a plane and shot down to the everglades for a few days. Its always awesome to get away from the Midwest and try to perfect my casting on something other then bass, carp, or trout. While I was down there the weather was awesome, not a drop of rain was felt, but the wind […]
Seeking Shelter
This is a short, one day video this past Sunday 5/18/14. I woke up with no intentions on fishing, but that changed quickly as my good friend Jason Fernandez called me up. He recently bought a Canoe and has only taken it out once. Due to the high winds we haven’t been able to take it out together. We came […]
Green Seas and High Tides
I woke up late, after a hard night of fishing, to a text from my buddy Jon that read “Let’s hit the beach to sight fish some snook.” I was slightly against the idea as I knew how picky beach snook could be and how annoying it was to fish in the afternoon on a popular beach. Never missing an […]
Bronze backs and Khaki Slacks
I have been trying to get these pictures up for two weeks now… I had the pleasure of drifting the Kankakee River with close friend Capt. Will Winans two Friday’s ago. We had multiple cold fronts push through full of wind and rain that day but we still managed to catch a few and have a some serious laughs in […]
Summer on the Road Part III
With day one in the books I was ready for an encore. Catching my first tuna and dolphin was a blast, but there was more fish to be caught. The morning ritual started just as the day before, creating pancakes out of a 12′ wide monofilament, lead-weighted net.
St Brandon’s- A Fly Fishing gem
A month ago, I found myself frantically packing and re-packing my bags after a short notice opportunity to visit St Brandon’s atoll with well known guiding co Flycastaway. This little atoll, approximately 5 miles long and 2 miles wide is part of Mauritius, an Island in the Indian ocean off the East Coast of Africa. After a 5 hour […]
