Every time I try to explain to someone what makes the fishery in Louisiana unique I end up at the same moot point. Louisiana is just something you have to experience is what I often recite. Characterizing Louisiana is akin to justifying why I love to fish to non-fishing folk. An attempt to enlighten the unknowing is futile and a […]
Sportsman’s Paradise Part I
Summer on the Road Part I
Ever since I was a little boy I had an innate appetite to see the world. As much as I enjoy fishing my home waters of the Upper Texas Coast I often grow tired fishing familiar venues. Periodically, I feel the urge to get away even if that entails stepping outside my zone of comfort.

The 2013 Herman Lucerne Memorial Backcountry Fishing Championship
I first learned of the Herman Lucerne Memorial about three and a half years ago. It was during the wee hours of a Monday night. Or a Tuesday morning depending on which side of the sleep cycle you may have been on. I was shivering at the bottom of a January cold front in my tiny radiatorless room, in […]

Kayak Concerto: Fly Fishing South Florida on the Kayak
Here’s what i’ve been working on lately. Join me on this Kayak quest through out the coastal waters of South Florida. Watch as I chase a complete cast of characters that we all love with a fly rod. The thrill of sight casting a trophy is what I live for. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoy it.
Games of Chance. Games of Sport.
Some time ago, and with varying degrees of reluctance, I gave up the luxury of “let’s go fishing”. Capitalizing on bluebird days, nonexistent wind, perfect tides, a hot bite, or even being within 800 miles of a redfish with little or no notice is a thing of my past and currently an impossibility. Now my fishing days are few and […]
Fishing as of lately
Well its almost spring and it seems like the fish are biting. Ive been going out and it has been pretty good. Somedays are really good and some days are not so good. It usually has to do with the wind situation. Calm mornings has been really good but around 10 am the wind starts kicking and everything goes to […]
NOLA
For a long time now I have been dreaming about going to New Orleans to fish the marsh for giant swamp donkey redfish. And, a little over a week ago, I finally made it happen. This trip has been a long time coming, and , was worth all the time, money, planning and effort. What a truly remarkable fishery they […]
