Happy New Years everyone, on my behalf. I hope everyone is doing great and looking forward to this upcoming year. Let me start by saying my New Years resolution was take all pics in black and white. Hopefully I can keep that promise until the end of the Year. Anyways, I’ve been doing some fishing lately, specially in the Christmas […]

Next Day Mail
It has been tough fishing the last few weeks. This time last year there was not a flake of snow on the ground. Carp, steelhead, and pike were still cooperating and life was good. This year we seem to be back into our “traditional Midwestern winter.” This can be a blessing and a curse. I decided in the Fall that […]
Sportsman’s Paradise Part I
Every time I try to explain to someone what makes the fishery in Louisiana unique I end up at the same moot point. Louisiana is just something you have to experience is what I often recite. Characterizing Louisiana is akin to justifying why I love to fish to non-fishing folk. An attempt to enlighten the unknowing is futile and a […]

SWC Christmas Party Weekend
This past weekend SWC hosted their Annual Christmas party, that took place in IC Sharks located in Tampa. I had to drive alone because I had no one to go with. The plan was to meet up and go fishing with a buddy of mine, Gavin Greco, who lives in the Naples Area. After I finished Djing on Friday night […]
Summer on the Road Part I
Ever since I was a little boy I had an innate appetite to see the world. As much as I enjoy fishing my home waters of the Upper Texas Coast I often grow tired fishing familiar venues. Periodically, I feel the urge to get away even if that entails stepping outside my zone of comfort.
Flamingo 12/3
Headed out yesterday for the first time with Ryan Accursio. We have been talking about heading out for a while to do some peacock fishing. He has a gheenoe and barely ever gets any bow time. The plan was suppose to go peacock fishing but the weather was too good to pass up. I had to work that day, so […]
SAT and SUN
This Holiday weekend was awesome. I had 4 days off work and finally got the chance to take out the Diablos out on the water. All of my fishing trips start with Djing at a club on friday nights and getting no sleep, well thats exactly what happened. As soon as I finished Djing I head out to the Glades […]
Gettin’ Chilly
Fall is here and because I’m not in the Cayman’s this winter, I am reminded of the temperature and “season change” here in south Florida. I have been up in Tampa for a few weeks and have had a great time spending time with family and old friends, and doing some fishing. My sister and I got to spend […]
