Spur of the moment, I drove up to the mainland to fish with my buddies Jeff and Wes the other morning. The alarm went off at 3:30 am and I headed north. Nothing like 7 hours of driving for a day trip…. After about 4 hours of driving, I finally got to the ramp. I met up with the boys […]

Here’s What I’ve Been up To
I haven’t posted lately, simply because I haven’t been out on the water much. For the past few weeks, I’ve been busy in and out of the art studio, working on a project. The Black Key Group and “Pop up Piano Miami”, along with the help of many sponsors chose eight Artists to paint Piano’s. I was chosen as one […]
Here and There
As of Lately the weather hasn’t been great and the waters are up to the roof at times but we still have been able to find fish. I’ve been Fishing on the Kayak, Gheenoe, and Friends’ Boat. Seems whatever craft you are on you are bound to have a great time, unless you find your self with a messed up […]
G lassed Out
I spent the other day fishing for a few hours in the Glades with my buddy Mike and my Chowda Dogg. The conditions were like you read about….. glass calm, not a cloud in sight, and complete blue bird skies. We had the place all to ourselves. Post front winter time fishing can be great and often times you get […]

Every now and then she’ll smile down and grant us passage on a picturesque day. On rare occasions she’ll string two or more blissful days together for us to enjoy her splendor. Two weeks ago […]
Where It’s At
Black Friday
I decided to use the skiff to mothership my kayak today. I explored some new territory and tried to hide from the wind. The gators had the place on lockdown. When you come face to face with these dinosaurs in the mangrove tunnels you have two options. Turnaround and go home or roll the dice and try to squeeze by […]
We Saved a Dolphin
The weekend started off with an early morning stroll down the beach… …with a pimped out canoe in tow and a convoy of trucks and skiffs following not far behind. We stumbled across a creature washed up and struggling to find it’s way back into the water. Brandon slammed on the brakes, jumped out of the truck and rushed to […]
The feel good story of the year.
This past Sunday night at a benefit for Naples area guide Wes, my buddy Hunter bid on a fly box donated by master fly tier Nick Davis, from 239 Flies. Hunter is pretty new to the fly game, and was able to get his first sight fished Red on the fly this morning, using one of the flies from the box […]
Bad Sun Rising…
Forgot how much I enjoyed early morning drives to the water. Its nice to forget the shitty work week for a change and join a bud for a quick redfish trip. The sound of stepping on the boat brings back old memories of past fishing trips. Its been awhile ol friend. Being away from the water so long I consistantly found myself doing a […]
