I always enjoy learning new things even if I end up never using the skills once learned.
Catching flatties, West Coast style
Movie Boredom…
With all the hurricanes and cool weather moving in, its easy to find oneself stuck indoors procrastinating on whether to clean off the tying bench or clean the house. What better time to make a samich, crack open a cold cerveza (Boones farm for Chase), and plop down to a cool flick. Enjoy it for the art or the story, […]

Mitchell Skiff
In February, I bought a 1972 16′ skiff from a boat yard in Ft. Myers. It’s a rolled edge skiff, similar in style to many of the flats skiffs manufactured at that time. This one was made by Mitchell out of Bradenton, FL.
I used to hate tying flies

Messin’ With the 50mm
Money, Guns, Flyfishing, Liquor
I own a bait and tackle shop where in the last year I have sent well over 300,000 live Shrimp and Pinfish to their deaths. If Karma is real, I am fucked. However, this death pays the bills. I fly-fish, and own a skiff. I am lucky enough to have a good group of dudes to fish with that […]
What Happened to the Days of Good Fish Porn?
I feel like two years ago when I started fishing in South Florida the World Wide Web was buzzing with quality fish porn. Every day there was a new post on Salty Shores or Facebook of some incredible fishing adventure. Every week a new video was dropped by World Angling or some other bad ass production group. It was inspiring […]
New Gear, Preview of Fall, and a Few Trips South
I picked up a sweet new 8wt rod a few weeks ago and decided it was time to get a coating of slime and mud on it. This thing is light… On the road early to fish far, unknown waters… Jason and I found a good topwater bite early… Fishing the edges spartina grass… These rascals were all over the […]
