This past weekend, it was my birthday. And I decided to spend it with a couple of buddies down in Islamorada for some fishing. Mike Rossi had never caught a redfish, so that was on our agenda.

Summertime Reds in the Park
Since the weather has been pretty bad lately, I figured I post my last trip on the Diablos to the park. My favorite part of the day was paddling out in slick calm waters of the ENP. We had 3 double hookup with my friend PK. Fly fishing rookie PK caught 7 reds on fly that day. his second time […]
Mothershipping to Mingo in horrible winds.
It was tuesday evening, I had just gotten back from a quick freshwater tarpon session. I got call from Kent and Alex about mother shipping the yaks to mingo. Since the forecast was calling for 15-20 knot winds. I was skeptical at first but then gave in to temptation. I really dont know how we were able to cram in […]
Glutton for Punishment
My buddy John and I have talked about fishing the Everglades for big snook for years. Both of us have caught our fair share of Texas Linesiders (see photos below), but the primitive snook and tarpon-laden backcountry of southernmost tip of Florida has always peaked our interest. When I envisioned fishing The Everglades I pictured behemoth snook and laid-up poon […]
Fear and Loathing in Flamingo
Their time had grown short. One hour. Two at most. Shadows had beset them. He craned his neck and peered up at the sky. Limpid blue and full of astringent afternoon light. He shielded his eyes against it. Hung near the meridian of its descent the sun was bleached with starry white and free of the burnt orange tarnish wrought […]
What wind?
So your learning the “Long-rod” and we ALL are to some extent. But “It’s too windy” so you bring some spinning rods and maybe the cast net. NOPE! I have been recently relocated back to my home waters of Tampa Bay and ITS SPRING-TIME! I’m pumped for the fishing i have missed the last few years. The other thing im stoked about is […]
Gramps got the Big Fish
Woke up today with some horrible back pains and had no intention on fishing. As I made my way to the kitchen to grab a pain reliever , my grampa asked me if I wanted to fish? I couldn’t say no due to the fact that my grampa is always working. He is the hardest working person I know, and is always […]
Spring is in the Air
High sun, decent winds, and days of clear skies. Finally, Spring is officially here! I did some fishing the past week, and the weather was a bit inconsistent, but I was able to get two good days in, and on foot.
Kayak Concerto: Fly Fishing South Florida on the Kayak
Here’s what i’ve been working on lately. Join me on this Kayak quest through out the coastal waters of South Florida. Watch as I chase a complete cast of characters that we all love with a fly rod. The thrill of sight casting a trophy is what I live for. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoy it.
A lake in the middle of the sea
Hello fellow anglers (bait chunkers and hunchbacks), I write to you from my little apartment on a very little island (19”39’35.89 N, 80″04’58.37 W ) This is my first attempt at a blog but not my first time writing, although you might think so. I am from Brandon, Fl and learned I needed to be near the water pretty early on […]
