The first person to answer correctly will win nothing. Just think how many you don’t see! Always start with the edges when casting at floaters be it tarpon or permit…you never know how many are truly in the school in low light.
Mini season bail out
A few weeks back, Chris and myself left the Keys during the dreaded mini lobster season and headed north in search of beach Snook.

I also had some permit shots that nearly gave me a heart attack. Unfortunately mini-season […]

Him and his small crew drive all over the state of Florida saving pitbulls from shelters just before they get put down. Then, they keep them in their own shelter until someone […]
