Had a busy day at work yesterday, I got home pretty late. As I finished eating my dinner, I quickly made a dash to my bed for some rest. As soon as I laid on my bed, my friend Jason a.k.a PK, called me to go fishing for a couple of hours. I quickly replied, NO WAY!!! I was so […]
Cheetos and Reese’s Pieces….
Long Paddle
What Are the Odds?!
Ever since I have moved to South Florida 3 years ago the “Big 3” have consumed me. The Grand Slam (Permit, Bonefish, Tarpon in one day) seemed like a distant fantasy and an impossible achievement. My good friend Derek recently had his day and proved it possible to me. It still seemed highly unlikely as his skill and patience far […]
The Art of Friendship
For myself, these past few weeks have been extremely hectic. I have been swamped with commissioned work since mid June, and with a few events approaching, my free time has been limited. Now, throw in some terrible weather into the equation, and fishing has been almost impossible. But with our friends over at Strongarm Products having the grand opening event […]
Canvas & Acrylics

Bonefishing has been good….
Really good! The permit continue to show themselves but they haven’t been playing nice like the bonefish. The biggest emotional let down in fly fishing for me…when the permit hard charges the fly and at the last second turns away casually like nothing happened. WTF! Why do they do that?…”Ain’t nobody got time for that!”

Midnight in the Marquesas
It was like a scene right out of “Life of Pi”. The moon was brighter than I have ever seen it in my whole life. I knew there was water on the flats but it was so calm and clear that it looked like there was none. Bioluminescence covered the flats with flashes of green glow. Shark fins and tarpon […]
Inclement Tying
The wind is up to 20 knots and the water temps on the flats are about mid 60’s in the Lower Keys, so I’m tying flies.
KEYdom Come
So I’m going to keep this short, as I could be out fishing right now…
