I could start this post by telling you that I’ve fished my whole life, which would be true, in a way. As a kid I fished the lakes of Valrico,FL for bass, catfish, bluegill, and even alligators. Basically anything that would bite my lure was what I was after. I loved fishing back then, but that’s not when my obsession truly […]
The Addiction
Backyard Awesomeness
Had the day off yesterday and the weather was amazing. Fished the Everglades National Park with my good friend John. We spent most of the day looking for tailing reds and despite the perfect conditions the fish were hard to find. I feel blessed to have this giant fishing playground in my back yard and love the opportunity to fish […]
Tidal Carp
Fly fishing for carp has opened up a lot of fishing opportunities in a region I am otherwise quite limited in without owning a boat. After several years of plying my craft in local rivers, creeks, lakes, and ponds I began looking elsewhere to satisfy my urge for freshwater ghosts. I found it in an unlikely place I had written […]
The Lure of the Light
I pray that this little write up about hitting dock lights finds you tomorrow morning during your glorious toilet time or while trying to find something to spice up your mid week work day. My buddies and I have been avoiding the crowded late summer boat ramps and hot as hell days in southwest Florida by hitting the water at […]
“OMG” Poonfecta Video
This a baby Tarpon Video that I submitted to the “Poonfecta Fishing Tournament and Film/Art Festival” that was hosted by BARFLY SAFETY HARBOR. I ended up winning the film festival with this film. It was a great event with an awesome fishing format for baby Tarpon. I had a lot of fun filming and fishing during the make of this […]
West And East
I did not fish the tarpon migration this year. Nor did I give chase to hefty spring time redfish wallowing in a meadow of turtle grass or pot-bellied snook foraging before the gentle bubble and foam of a mid-summer beach break. I haven’t even been south of Wall Street in the last six months. All of which is decidedly uncharacteristic behavior for someone […]
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 […]
BaCk To ThE BaSiCs
Driving home from a long weekend at the lake house I realized that I barely wet a line. With the weather still cooperating I decided to run home, drop off the BOTE boards and swing by a local pond to fish for some largemouth bass. I pulled up to the pond to see that it had been sprayed for weed […]
