Ever since I have moved to South Florida 3 years ago the “Big 3” have consumed me. The Grand Slam (Permit, Bonefish, Tarpon in one day) seemed like a distant fantasy and an impossible achievement. My good friend Derek recently had his day and proved it possible to me. It still seemed highly unlikely as his skill and patience far […]
What Are the Odds?!
The Art of Friendship
For myself, these past few weeks have been extremely hectic. I have been swamped with commissioned work since mid June, and with a few events approaching, my free time has been limited. Now, throw in some terrible weather into the equation, and fishing has been almost impossible. But with our friends over at Strongarm Products having the grand opening event […]
Labor Day Weekend in the Keys!
Let me start by saying that I haven’t fished once this past month. I finally had a break from work and Djing this weekend. The weather was was looking great there was no way I was gonna pass up this opportunity. Couple of weeks before I got a call from Jose Chavez to go fish in the keys during this […]
Long Strip
A group of friends and I spent a week on Andros Island, Bahamas…Kaliks, Bonefish and the shenanigans that ensued…
Canvas & Acrylics
Well, with all of this terrible weather, I haven’t been able to fish too much. So I’ve had some time to spend on the easel and focus on some artwork. Here are a few of my latest pieces. More photos of other cool stuff I’ve done recently.
Bonefishing has been good….
Really good! The permit continue to show themselves but they haven’t been playing nice like the bonefish. The biggest emotional let down in fly fishing for me…when the permit hard charges the fly and at the last second turns away casually like nothing happened. WTF! Why do they do that?…”Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
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 […]
Midnight in the Marquesas
It was like a scene right out of “Life of Pi”. The moon was brighter than I have ever seen it in my whole life. I knew there was water on the flats but it was so calm and clear that it looked like there was none. Bioluminescence covered the flats with flashes of green glow. Shark fins and tarpon […]

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.
