I decided to put some footage together of those lucky times when we get to fish with Captain Derek Rust in the Florida Keys. Every time we fish, we always have an awesome time on his boat. We usually look for Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon when the weather allows. Wether we catch fish or not, you can always bet on […]
Rusty Fly
bare necessities
Life, it has its ups and downs twists and turns, but never gives us more than we can handle. Lately, things have winding on my end.

I’m always trying to find a better way to get to the fishing spot because it’s a LONG paddle which means more time paddling and […]
