SWC Ditch Kids Week Five
The Scum Pond Chronicles
By: Will Korte People will do some crazy things for fish, in the case of my friends and I it means using GPS imagery to try to find salt ponds and other isolated bodies of water where baby tarpon, snook and others lurk. When you find the angling version of a hole in the wall restaurant, epic fishing adventures can […]

You gonna eat that?
By: Ryan Saul Something I’ve really come to appreciate about a yearlong Caught Not Bought challenge is that it has forced me to challenge some of the preconceived ideas about certain foods. One food in particular is the bonito. My entire life I have been told that bonito is shark bait and nothing more because it’s too bloody to be […]

When it rains in June

We’re not talking about ordinary rain showers, but more on the lines of acres and acres of rain. After these rains, minnows cloud out […]

Since last year’s commitment to chase what swims as a career, it’s been what I imagine to be a big wave surfers quest to conquer the pipelines. Not just […]
Do’s and Don’ts of DIY Flats Fishing
By: Sam Collett (@collettjsam) Photos by: Sam Collett & Ty Hibbs (@whatever_bites) I’ve developed a bi-annual habit of leaving the southeast Louisiana mud, assembling a band of equally mental friends (and understanding girlfriends) and making a trip to somewhere tropical to wade fish.

Caught not Bought
By: Ryan Saul Our motto in “Caught not Bought” has always been, “whatever makes the best story.” the best story is rarely developed through the safe and sensible route. The heart behind Caught not Bought is simple, be self-sufficient and question everything. Your reason for doing things should never be because, “that’s just how it’s done”. There are processes sure, […]
