I am writing this blog on behalf of Derek Rust, Jason Fernandez and myself. Sorry for the amount of pics and bad grammar. This past weekend was nothing short of spectacular, from the events that took place and to the unforgettable memories. It all started friday night as I was sipping my water, which “Lared” probably spit in, at a […]
FATE in The Wind
Jacked UP
Happy New Years everyone!!!! I wanna start by apologizing for the lack of posting in such a long time, I recently moved to a rural area with no internet. Aside from that I’ve been fishing quite a bit especially since the SWC Godfather “Vince Stegura” was nice enough to lend me his Gheenoe for the last 2 months. All good […]
A Year To REDmember
As for many of us each trip marks a new mile stone and checks off another item on our bucket list’s. For me this whole year has been filled with just that and I thought I would make this post to share it with you from my biggest Redfish on fly to my biggest Redfish on the flats. I truly […]
Tying the KNOT pt. 2
So my bonefishing experience in Hawaii was top notch, even though I never successfully landed one. As for the other fish that filled gaps in between tides… unreal. The bonefish disappeared off the reef when the tides became too low. This provided tons of opportunities to throw at triggerfish that were pushed out of their homes and to tall to […]
Life of a convict
Its getting cold here in Tampa Bay, kicking off the 4 month sentence where it seems every backwater mudflat has a large general population of convicts putting in time. Everywhere you look they seem to be staked out, eyeing for their next meal. These guys are tough, picky, on edge and will drive most any fly angler insane, but I’m […]
The Addiction
I could start this post by telling you that I’ve fished my whole life, which would be true, in a way. As a kid I fished the lakes of Valrico,FL for bass, catfish, bluegill, and even alligators. Basically anything that would bite my lure was what I was after. I loved fishing back then, but that’s not when my obsession truly […]
Tidal Carp
Fly fishing for carp has opened up a lot of fishing opportunities in a region I am otherwise quite limited in without owning a boat. After several years of plying my craft in local rivers, creeks, lakes, and ponds I began looking elsewhere to satisfy my urge for freshwater ghosts. I found it in an unlikely place I had written […]
Tying the KNOT pt.1
When my fiance and I decided to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon lots of stuff immediately raced through my head; beautiful islands, great weather, taking my first trip with my new wife and way back in the deep dark part of my brain… monster bonefish. So as any good husband does I began to research for our trip. I […]
MIAMI BITE
This is a video that I submitted to the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust Art and Film Festival. This video got 2nd place in the Festival, I was really stoked to have my video viewed alongside talented and passionate filmmakers. I wanna start by saying this is the most fun Ive ever had filming a video and super thankful that Plastic […]
West And East
I did not fish the tarpon migration this year. Nor did I give chase to hefty spring time redfish wallowing in a meadow of turtle grass or pot-bellied snook foraging before the gentle bubble and foam of a mid-summer beach break. I haven’t even been south of Wall Street in the last six months. All of which is decidedly uncharacteristic behavior for someone […]
