Hello Skinny Water Culture, Paul Sonnen, here reporting from the northern Gulf Coast, and proud to be posting my first of many blogs here on the cyber net! I’m not the best at writing, but hopefully I’ll keep people entertained with large bribes and free booze…..not really, but promise an outlook of my passion for the sport and what drives […]

SWC Christmas Party at BarFly
As many of you know, the SWC Christmas Party at BarFly was last weekend. Would like to thank those that were able to make it out there. As well as thank those who made it happen. The party was a success. Collecting plenty of toys for children in need. It was a great positive atmosphere that involved a lot of […]
SWC Christmas Party Detour
Myself, Capt. Derek and DJ Dan decided to take a road trip to the mainland for the SWC Christmas party. We packed up the kayaks and fly rods and every other piece of fishing equipment you could fit into an F150. After a few many wrong turns we made it to the motel. Thank You Dan for being such a great […]

Hello my name is Jordan and I fly fish, now we ain’t strangers anymore. I was recently reminded that now is a good time of year for redfish in the marshes of Louisiana and just like anyone else would who does little other than fish I tuned Pandora to Lil’ Wayne radio and hooked up the skiff to head south. […]
Red Friday
“Should have been here yesterday.” Words you never want to hear utter from someone’s mouth when you travel a long way in hopes of catching a hot bite. Those words sting even more when they’re coming from a buddy in your inner circle of friends who enjoys rubbing it in your face when you’re a day late and a dollar […]
Big Pimpin
FINALLY!!! After four unsuccessful tries to get out on the water, this mofo dusted off the mask and headed out . I was so jacked packing up my gear I felt like I was in a “A Team” montage. Met up with a good friend who doesn’t mind poling me around in boat for a six pack and a whataburger breakfast on […]
Another Day…Another Dollar
I wasn’t sure about fishing today. I had been the last 3 days in a row. I woke up early and started thinking about tailing sheepshead from yesterday. Grabbed a Don Miguel’s beef steak and jalapeno burrito. Hitched the boat and took off to the glades! Second day in a row with a 32″ red…not too common for Everglades National […]
Tis the Season…
High winds, lower water temps and clouds…that seems to be the pattern this time of year. I have been searching far and wide trying to find some nice fish. Today we finally scored some good ones. A few nice reds and Dan’s first sheepie! I also pulled the hook on two sheepshead…man those things are tough and awesome! I’m really […]
Finding fish
Finding fish has been tough with the low tides and winds of the last week. Finding big fish has been almost impossible for me. That may be because I suck at fishing. That is all.
Running of the Bulls
I spent a few days east of the border last weekend. The food was good. The company was great. The fishing was incredible. The first day started off a little slow. We had trouble finding clean water. The grey skies weren’t doing us any favors either. I caught one low 30” fish early but that was it.
