My name is Dustin Pack and I’ve been granted this great opportunity to supply the SWC blog with all of my awesomely killer and radical fishing stories and photos.Born in Ft. Myers, I now hail from the very strawberry filled area of Florida known as Plant City. I’ve been an avid fisherman since birth and have recently become addicted to […]
Florida Native
Flamingo Reds
It was an overcast, cold 6AM when my friend Calvin Neff ,from Arkansas, and I woke up. We got to the Pelican Cove in Islamorada the night before. We hurried to get in our UV protection clothing and jumped into the car. We continued the morning ritual and headed to Trader Joe’s to get some subs and Gatorade. When we […]
One Vague Word
It was the third redfish we had seen since poling up onto the flat. Selfsame as the last two. Oversized and broad across the shoulders and neck where the small brassy scales ran around its collar and met the wide smooth cap at the base of its skull.
…Some fishing Lately…
I want to start by apologizing for the lack of blogging. I have been really lazy lately and it has gotten the best of me. Aside from that I hope everyone has been out fishing and having some fun. Since I haven’t posted in a while I have tons of pics that I would like to share with you guys. […]

Bar Tricks
It has been more than three full months since I have been able to fly a loop, with its tiny payload of steel and fur and feather, towards the scaled, torsional flesh of a gamefish. And, what is perhaps even worse, is that it has been almost as long since I’ve been afforded the time to sit down and write. […]
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 […]
Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel
The past week was a tough one for me, it was finals week. Really, all I could think about was getting home and getting back out on the water. When I finally turned in my last test. It was go time I loaded up the truck and scooted across the alley back to good ole Naples. I was itching to […]
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.
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 […]
