You know the artwork from the Marsh Dawn Hat? (see pic below) That exists in real life, it’s your typical summer day in Everglades National Park. You enter the park boundaries. You are in awe of the sunrise and beauty of all the wildlife. Redfish tail everywhere and eat anything you throw at them all morning. Eventually the winds […]
Everglades National Park
You don’t know Jack!
Unfortunately…yes, yes I do know Jack. I saw some bonefish cruising around but I was having trouble getting close…I decided to hope out and go after them on foot. I waited a few minutes and two nice pushes come down the flat. Put the shot right on them and hooked up instantly. Next came the blazing run…Hell yes! Bonefish on! […]
Deadliest Catch – Flamingo FFT
I made it down to the park with Mario. We chased around the big reds and snook all morning in the super skinny. But then the wind decided to turn and kick up to 30mph. So, mario blind casting with the spinner felt something. he reeled in and turned out he somehow hooked a crab around the claw….lol Hit the […]
Personal best black drum on fly
I have spent some time lately trying to pattern some big ugglies that have been moving onto a flat to feed. I saw the fruits of my time investment pay off as I showed up to the flat one Saturday. About half an hour into the trip I was starting to think that these fish might have moved on when […]
Marsh Donks

Him and his small crew drive all over the state of Florida saving pitbulls from shelters just before they get put down. Then, they keep them in their own shelter until someone […]
Brutal Defeat and Sweet Victory
Day 1: I arrived to an incredible scene…pink sky, light warm wind, any shiny silver tails waving about…this is what summer fishing is all about. I was in perfect position as I took quality shots at tailing bonefish crossing the flat. I continued on later in the morning to the next flat. I waited for any signs of life and […]
Fireworks in Flamingo
I was down in the park for one of my routine visits, on Independence Day. While I was out fishing, word had spread that there was a fire in the park. The one road in and out had been shut down. The fire burned roadside and even jumped the road. And spread into the depths of the park. But with […]
One Last Time.
Three years ago, my brother Matt decided that he was going to leave his inner city Baltimore teaching job and assume the same position in the Caribbean. A fortunate byproduct of that decision was its impact on my fly fishing. As a teacher, I too have the summer’s off, and it became a destination of mine to travel and take […]
