After being trapped all day in bed with a fever, I decided to get out in hopes that it would at least clear my mind. So I made a call and was on my way. My buddy Warren Chin and I stopped by Strongarm Products new facility to check it out. Of course, we brought fly rods with us, as […]
Ailing Afternoon Drive
Oh, Caledonia
I have big hands. Though, as hands go, they are not particularly long. Not of the kind that reach beyond the wrist and threaten the forearm. Nor are they so wide that they swallow other hands, offered in friendly greetings or goodbyes, whole. What they are is thick. Heavy. Fleshy. My palms crease deep and black along their head and […]
Way-backcountry snookin’
With all the freshwater being dumped from Lake Okeechobee into the Caloosahatchee River I have been traveling to find better water and explore new places. Today I was fortunate enough to fish out of Everglades City with Nick of 239 Flies. I didn’t have the camera out for very long but was able to snap a few quick photos of […]
Mission “First Slime”
Everyone who knows the name DJ Dan Decibel knows that he is an authority on everything that is fishing in Flamingo. So naturally when dragging the new skiff down to get its first slime, he was the first person on my list of people to get on the boat. Luckily the timing worked out and he was able to pull […]
The End Is Near
With the guide season coming to a fast approaching close, the anticipation of some time off is hard to bare. In 2 weeks, we make our return to the Bahamas for the 3rd SWC Bahamas Bonefish Beat Down, and I can’t think of a better way to end a long guide season. Good friends, Kalik, conch salad , monster bones…… […]
Sunday Funday!!
I’ve been working all this week due to the fact that I actually have a job now besides Djing. Sunday was my only day off. The weather was predicted for smooth sailing, so I couldn’t say no. Earlier in the week my friend Robert asked me to take him fishing so he tagged along with me. Robert has never seen […]
#mulberrytime
The first week of June usually signals the beginning of that special time of year. Mulberry time. The mulberries are now ripe enough to attract the attention of hungry birds and squirrels. Usually multiple squirrels and a variety of birds can be found in a mulberry tree at any given time. They feed on these berries quite aggressively because […]
Summertime Reds in the Park
Since the weather has been pretty bad lately, I figured I post my last trip on the Diablos to the park. My favorite part of the day was paddling out in slick calm waters of the ENP. We had 3 double hookup with my friend PK. Fly fishing rookie PK caught 7 reds on fly that day. his second time […]
Hc Svnt Tarpon
They were intended to be warnings. Rendered out of myth, legend, and tales of peril faced by those lucky enough to return from doomed voyages, illustrations of great monsters of the sea and beasts of the land were lent to maps and atlases to instill a sense of foreboding in those who looked upon the portraits of those places charted […]
Los Cayo’s
Finally in Islamorada: Target for the day, Tarpon…. Fishing with Adrienne Comeau (female angle) and Matt Smythe (fishingpoet). We launched the skiff and are onto look for poonage. Adrienne had already caught her first post last year down in Key West, and Matt had fished for them in Islamorada in the past as well, so I was hoping for some […]
