Well its almost spring and it seems like the fish are biting. Ive been going out and it has been pretty good. Somedays are really good and some days are not so good. It usually has to do with the wind situation. Calm mornings has been really good but around 10 am the wind starts kicking and everything goes to […]
Fishing as of lately
Bonefish w/the SWC Godfather and Gentlebro
I can’t do it justice….but here it goes. Vince, the godfather of SWC recently made the journey to the Keys to catch his first bonefish on fly. This was his only shot…one day, one chance to catch his first bone on fly before the big Bahamas trip. Luckily we had one of the finest guides in the Keys to make […]

NOLA
For a long time now I have been dreaming about going to New Orleans to fish the marsh for giant swamp donkey redfish. And, a little over a week ago, I finally made it happen. This trip has been a long time coming, and , was worth all the time, money, planning and effort. What a truly remarkable fishery they […]
Last Pass
Somewhere between New Zealand and Mongolia lies Central Oregon. Within the gin-like tributaries of the area are the trout that time left behind. The bull trout is nothing more than a landlocked dollay varden char, that attain amazing size and take giant prey. They come out of lakes or even larger river systems to spawn in the smaller tribs.

As of lately, I have been flipping a coin for every fishing trip I go on. Usually because I am not sure of where I want to go and it usually has to do a lot with the weather. Fishing has been pretty good despite of the bad weather. There has been couple of windows were you can have a […]

Kent and alex caught some trout with tons of lady fish and jacks in the mix. Kent was using topwater spook and Alex was using paddle tails on a jig head. I figured […]
Let’s have a great day everyone!
Immediately after the Holidays, I knew I had to hit up the kayak. The high amount of calories had to come to an end. Losing weight is at the top of the list in everyone’s New Years resolution. This year, I am going to focus on shedding some pounds. Aside from that, I hope everyone is looking forward to this […]
Winter Bone
I had the day off today, so, I packed up my Marquesa with fuel, ice, water, a fishing buddy and a Labrador and headed out to look for some familiar old faces. The day started off great. Mike O had a great opportunity at a tailing permit. He made 3 absolutely perfect shots at this fish without the fish showing […]
2013: Getting Back at It
Well here it goes. The ever so annoying “New Year, New Outlook” posts we’ve all come to expect. 2012 was a pretty great year. But as the weeks and days were counted off, the dooming fact started to haunt me. I have yet to catch a bonefish on my current skiff. And I only caught two bones on fly in […]
