I have fished two tournaments in month of July. Both tournaments, I was able to find some large fish. But for whatever reason, I was unable to get the fish to eat, stick, or get them in the boat. But finally, I was able to go back to the same locations and have at them. This time with a fly […]
Redemption, Some What…
As Skinny As It Gets
Late summer in the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures are in the high 90s and water levels are low and gin clear. Trico mayflies are hatching in the morning and weary trout are gorging themselves on them. Problem is, the tricos run on average between a size 22 -26 hook and the trout are so educated that 7-9x is often required to […]
Great Company, Bad Conditions
This past weekend, we had an Ankona Owners tournament down in Flamingo. We had a great time fishing an area that not many were familiar with. I’d like to thank Ashley of Don’s Bait & Tackle and Bob Reeves of Strongarm Products for helping us out with everything. There was a ton of fish caught in the tournament. Garret had […]
Summertime…
….and the livins easy. Had some good trips as of late. Lost a big bonefish boat side due to a hook pull…it was an awesome eat, he tailed on my fly in the middle of the day after working him about a good 20ft. I also had some permit shots that nearly gave me a heart attack. Unfortunately mini-season […]
Hook Ups and Cold Shoulders
After three days on my brother’s home island we embarked for the last time to another island, a little ways northeast, that is home to robust flats and large bonefish. I picked Matt up from school on a Friday afternoon, rescuing him from cleaning up his classroom, and we embarked on the afternoon ferry for a weekend of fishing. On […]
Flamingo Bound
Headed to Flamingo in the am. Hope to find some snook in the morning.
Time Well Spent
With the guide season finally slowing down, I have actually had some time to get out on the water lately to do some fishing with my good buddy Chris Lewis. I have also have been able to get back to my roots out on foot doing some wade fishing in the evenings with my boy Mike O and Chowda Dog […]
Rock On!
All My Ex’s live in TEXAS…PART 1
Making my way up from Mexico northward through Texas. A quick stop through Austin for some food, music, and fun. Austin is not as big as I thought it would be but boy can they pack a ton of cool shit into that town. Lots of music on every corner and the BBQ was amazing. But if there was one thing […]
What Happened to the Days of Good Fish Porn?
I feel like two years ago when I started fishing in South Florida the World Wide Web was buzzing with quality fish porn. Every day there was a new post on Salty Shores or Facebook of some incredible fishing adventure. Every week a new video was dropped by World Angling or some other bad ass production group. It was inspiring […]
