Throughout the NBA playoffs, I found myself far too into what was an emotional roller coaster. Feeling great at the highest points, and feeling like gum on the bottom of a carny’s shoe at the lowest. So when the Miami Heat finally made it to the Finals, I knew it was going to be brutal. I had to find something […]

Permitopia!
Last weekend me and Hobie fishing team member Doug Schallmoser made it down to the Keys for a 2 days flats fishing marathon. Over the two days we covered over 30 miles on our kayaks.

Apparently, the video is dope, and I am […]
Despite Cold January, Fish are Biting!
The Lower Keys and Key West experienced record cold weather during early to mid January too. However, most of the fish that couldn’t handle the cold and expired were snapper, and other reef type fish. I have not seen or heard of any Tarpon, Bonefish or Permit that expired around Key West or the Lower Keys. If anyone else has […]
