It seems like now a days my bank account is always in the red. But I was lucky enough to save a little cash and invest it in the Highsider Gheenoe this year. When i look on the instagram feed for #skinnywaterculture i always see pictures of people using a gheenoe to absolutely crush fish. I wanted to bring a […]

The 2013 Herman Lucerne Memorial Backcountry Fishing Championship
I first learned of the Herman Lucerne Memorial about three and a half years ago. It was during the wee hours of a Monday night. Or a Tuesday morning depending on which side of the sleep cycle you may have been on. I was shivering at the bottom of a January cold front in my tiny radiatorless room, in […]
Back to Your Roots
Now I am far from what people would describe as ‘sentimental’. But I do have a special place reserved in my heart for the small streams of western North Carolina. These streams are what introduced me to and eventually made me fall in love with fly fishing. On that same note, I owe a lot of that to a good friend named Ben Castle. Coincidentally enough, these streams are the first place that Ben and I fished together. We meet up every few months to fish, mostly here in south Florida, the Bahamas, and sometimes out in Colorado. But we always make a point of heading back up to WNC to hit these beautiful small streams. 
7wt Chronicles
Since my last post I have been back at work, trying to get everything back in order. However, I am still taking time to fish as much as I can, throwing a 7wt at 9wt fish as much as possible. Why a 7wt you may ask? Because, when you are sight fishing on a low tide you want your fly […]

Nile Perch
The word for perch in Swahili is sangara. Each day, we went out in the hopes of catching a sangara kubwa sana, but the very big perch eluded us. Instead we caught a bunch of babies, relatively speaking. Sangara kidogo.
No Place Like Home
As this is my first time posting on the blog I wanted to start with the roots. We all have our home turf where the fishing just comes easy to us. Well, my stomping grounds are that of the not so clear waters of Naples, Florida. You wouldn’t imagine Naples as the latest and greatest fishing destinations, but you would […]
The Island
Rubondo is the Jurassic Park of Tanzania. A relatively unspoiled island teeming with birds, mammals and reptiles. In the complete absence of predators they have been allowed to proliferate, kept in check by the harshness of the dense forest. Rubondo has a healthy population of a few species of African mammals. Many of them were transplanted to the island […]
Rubondo Island
With the collapse of the perch fishery imminent and inevitable, we figured we best try our luck as soon as possible. After all, from Dar es Salaam, Lake Victoria is easier to reach than Egypt’s Lake Nasser.
Labor Day Weekend in the Keys!
Let me start by saying that I haven’t fished once this past month. I finally had a break from work and Djing this weekend. The weather was was looking great there was no way I was gonna pass up this opportunity. Couple of weeks before I got a call from Jose Chavez to go fish in the keys during this […]
