On Saturday morning I decided to wake up super early to drive down to the Keys. I was not expecting much after all the boat traffic from mini-season but the weather was going to be stellar! I hauled ass and got to the area I wanted to fish….when I’m about 500yds away coming off plane all I see is spikes….it […]
First Permit on Fly!
Summertime…
….and the livins easy. Had some good trips as of late. Lost a big bonefish boat side due to a hook pull…it was an awesome eat, he tailed on my fly in the middle of the day after working him about a good 20ft. I also had some permit shots that nearly gave me a heart attack. Unfortunately mini-season […]
What Happened to the Days of Good Fish Porn?

Every day there was a new post on Salty Shores or Facebook of some incredible fishing adventure. Every week a new video was dropped by World Angling or some other bad ass production group. It was inspiring […]

You are in awe of the sunrise and beauty of all the wildlife. Redfish tail everywhere and eat anything you throw at them all morning. Eventually the winds […]

I waited a few minutes and two nice pushes come down the flat. Put the shot right on them and hooked up instantly. Next came the blazing run…Hell yes! Bonefish on! […]
Brutal Defeat and Sweet Victory
Day 1: I arrived to an incredible scene…pink sky, light warm wind, any shiny silver tails waving about…this is what summer fishing is all about. I was in perfect position as I took quality shots at tailing bonefish crossing the flat. I continued on later in the morning to the next flat. I waited for any signs of life and […]
7/5/12 Biscayne
I finally got back on the water for the first time in over two weeks. I had good buddy Captain Derek Rust onboard today. He scored this beautiful bonefish on the first cast of the morning….it all went down in perfect fashion. Next spot I got a good shot at a permit following a ray, but the permit was absolutely […]
Flying Solo
Shark Rescue
I was out fishing this morning when I noticed a spear gun. It was moving across the flat. Attached to it was a Lemon Shark. I removed the spear and got a really nice Sea Hornet gun in the process! Check out the footage of me wrestling the spear free.
