TURNING SOME HEADS
The past few weekends I have been trying to figure out the whole pike/musky situation on SE Wisconsin’s Lake Delevan. These fish are defiantly plentiful but also very picky. The added weekend boat traffic and the fact that we are hurling huge flies at these fish doesn’t make the situation any easier. But, every weekend we are out there we […]
“TURF-N-SURF”video
This past weekend of July 11, 2014, I decided to make a last minute trip to Port Orange, Fl to fish and surf with good friends Patrick Gingras and his girlfriend Becca Courtney. Friday afternoon I gathered up all my stuff and headed over there for a weekend full of fun. We explored a lot of new areas on foot […]
The First of Summer
My summer has been off to a fantastic start with a lot of fish mojo. It started off fishing down south with one of my good friends Charlie. The wind was still blowing good as it has been all year, but we decided to give it a go anyway. We stuck a tailer within the first 5 minutes and it was […]
Summer on the Road Part III
With day one in the books I was ready for an encore. Catching my first tuna and dolphin was a blast, but there was more fish to be caught. The morning ritual started just as the day before, creating pancakes out of a 12′ wide monofilament, lead-weighted net.
Stripes
Spring. Battleground season in the Northeast when the warm, pleasant and consistent summery weather begins its war of attrition with the holdover days of winter. Short, cold and wet and dug into the latter weeks of the years first quarter like teacup jacks into an acre wide school of mudding redfish and snook. There simply to ruin your good time. The warming trends and […]

Myers, I now hail from the very strawberry filled area of Florida known as Plant City. I’ve been an avid fisherman since birth and have recently become addicted to […]
Flamingo Reds
It was an overcast, cold 6AM when my friend Calvin Neff ,from Arkansas, and I woke up. We got to the Pelican Cove in Islamorada the night before. We hurried to get in our UV protection clothing and jumped into the car. We continued the morning ritual and headed to Trader Joe’s to get some subs and Gatorade. When we […]
Euro Nymphing & Competitive Fly Fishing
This past Saturday I was lucky enough with the chance to be able to fish with Brown Hobson. He is an Orvis Endorsed guide in Asheville, North Carolina, and is also a member of the USA Fly Fishing team. He is definitely the most skilled angler I have ever met. Since I am trying to make my way onto the youth team this […]
SOMETHING has GOTTA give…
For the past 2 months Chicago has been pounded with snow, subzero temperatures, ice, and wind. We broke two records for the coldest days in IL history this winter, we have 52 plus cumulative inches of snow on ground, and another 6 inches coming tomorrow. Everything from creeks to large Rivers are froze over. No open water as far as […]
