Finally in Islamorada: Target for the day, Tarpon…. Fishing with Adrienne Comeau (female angle) and Matt Smythe (fishingpoet). We launched the skiff and are onto look for poonage. Adrienne had already caught her first post last year down in Key West, and Matt had fished for them in Islamorada in the past as well, so I was hoping for some […]
Los Cayo’s
Welcome to Miami: “Small, Bright, and Heavy”
Day one: Bjorn Stromsness and Adrienne Comeau arrived early in the AM, and were to fish with Martin Carranza in Biscayne Bay searching for bonefish. I was to pick up Matt and Davin around lunch time at the airport. I arrive at Ft. Lauderdale Airport at 11:55 to pick up Matt Smythe and Davin Ebanks. I send a group text […]
Headed to the Motherland
It started a few months ago. I received an email from a fella named Matt Smythe about an idea he had for a Florida trip. Matt mentioned that Marshall Cutchin of MidCurrent.com had given him my info, and suggested he shoot me an email. Matt mentioned that he and a few other bloggers in the fishing world were to fly […]
Ok, Maybe This is a Bit Harder Than I Thought!
Tarpon Season brings a lot of guys down to the keys with a common goal. Chase Megalops up and down the banks with a long rod. This year, I’ve been able to meet and fish with a few guys from out of town that are here for that very reason.
The Keys to Life
It started off as just a group of people with a common interest. Last summer, Jon Bull of Ankona Boats put together a small tournament for owners of Ankona Boat’s skiffs in the Tampa Bay area. Everyone met each other and had a blast. Ever since then, we have organized three hang out events for Ankona skiff owners on our […]
Let’s go Full Circle
Back in 2008, I got the wild idea that I wanted to get into fly fishing. I mentioned this to a friend, and he laughed in my face. He mentioned that he had an old fly rod in the shed that he had bought years before, but could never figure it out, and that it was not worth the hassel…..
Let’s Search for Silver
Well, Spring has been in full swing for the past month. Normally, that would mean I would be balls deep in schools of over slot redfish all over Florida Bay. But not this year, this Spring I’m chasing silver.
Spring is in the Air
High sun, decent winds, and days of clear skies. Finally, Spring is officially here! I did some fishing the past week, and the weather was a bit inconsistent, but I was able to get two good days in, and on foot.

This piece was donated for the Live Auction at the banquet, glad it went to a good friend, and added to his collection of pieces that […]
