RIO de GRASS
Recently lost my Monday to Friday job. No money and open schedules means Im usually trying to get rid of the built up stress, in our backyard of the Everglades. Hopefully Ill get back on my feet back soon that way I don’t have to make these boring videos. Enjoy!!
The King of Spring
Most people who would read this blog think of spring and immediately ready themselves for Tarpon Season. But to me and a handful of others, there’s a whole different beast that grabs our undivided attention and makes our blood boil long before those silver kings migrate up the coast. For those of us who wake up way too early, walk […]
Hemingway Type Stuff
I first met Capt. Derek Rust at the SWC Christmas party this past December. I knew about him through some of the SWC guys and heard nothing but great things about the guy. So meeting and talking to him was pretty exciting, not like a teenage girl meeting Justin Bieber, but it may have been close. Little did I know my wife […]
Prequel to 0400 Hours
If haven’t read the “0400 Hours” by Jason Fernandez, it is probably a good thing because this is the prequel. It was December 27th and we had decided to camp in Flamingo that weekend. The whole point was to take Jason’s 13 year old brother to catch his first redfish on fly. It had been a while since he had […]

My little nephew thought it be cool to keep him around until someone around the neighborhood claimed him. Luckily enough my Mother did not […]
How it began, How it continues…
It all began growing up in Upstate New York, Schoharie, NY to be specific, a very special place. My grandparents owned a camp on a small lake in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains where we would spend summers fishing and doing all of the other things people do where they’re not fishing. Fishing at that point began to be […]
Fishing 4 Work
Most of my fishing revolves around the clock. That being said, I work a “Monday to Friday” job and I don’t have to go in until noon-ish. I always hear people saying that they don’t have time to fish due to work, kids, or simply just a financial thing. Trust me, I completely understand were everyone is coming from and […]
Respect the spot
We all have them local, go to ponds to get our quick fishing fix. To take our kids for a bass and bluegill bite. Most of them are on private land, in apartment complexes, or behind a store, or along a roadside. Most times people see you are fishing, and allow you to stay so long as you are respectful. […]
