You would think a fishless five months would alter your perspectives towards some aspects of the pursuit of fish with a fly rod. If it did for me, those alterations occurred in how I daydreamed about it.
The Pursuit of Happiness
SUP in the Everglades
I have been wanting a SUP (Stand Up Paddle board) for a long time. I basically have been treating my kayaks like a SUP for years standing and sight fishing from them. Recently a Bote HD paddle board showed up at the front door. My first trip with it I went 13.5 miles and it really wasn’t even that bad. […]
2012 Wrap Up Kayak/Skiff Fishing
A buddy of mine, Brandon Hicks, put this video together. It’s a recap of his 2012 fishing exploits. Some of the footage was from several trips we made together over the year including the best weekend of redfishing I’ve ever experienced. This video has a little something for everyone. Skiffs, canoes, kayaks, scooters, redfish, trout, drum, flounder, surf fishing, fly […]
Winter Bone

But as the weeks and days were counted off, the dooming fact started to haunt me. I have yet to catch a bonefish on my current skiff. And I only caught two bones on fly in […]

Bluegill in the Salt??
Normally I don’t like a falling tide, especially if I’m fishing from the beach.
Bahamas Nirvana TR
It’s my last few hours in the Bahamas before I have to go back to reality. I’m trying to figure out how to put on paper the feelings and moments I experienced this last week. I usually try to stick to pictures but I feel like now is a time to make an effort… Two days ago I stood knee […]
I got a red for Christmas!
I took my new Cayo SUP out for the first time today for about 2 hours. The clouds made it tough because I kept running over fish after fish. I did catch one nice one though… Merry Christmas Guys and Gals.
