2012 Wrap Up Kayak/Skiff Fishing
A buddy of mine, Brandon Hicks, put this video together. It’s a recap of his 2012 fishing exploits. Some of the footage was from several trips we made together over the year including the best weekend of redfishing I’ve ever experienced. This video has a little something for everyone. Skiffs, canoes, kayaks, scooters, redfish, trout, drum, flounder, surf fishing, fly […]
2013: Getting Back at It
Well here it goes. The ever so annoying “New Year, New Outlook” posts we’ve all come to expect. 2012 was a pretty great year.

There were bull Reds in Venice, but every guide that you have seen on TV was on two groups of fish. My […]
