Flamingo to Islamorada (Part 2)
A 14 Hour Drive
Headed up to Delacroix and Hopedale Louisiana over the weekend to try my luck. I had been hearing good reports, including up to the day I was on the road. When I got there things had changed a bit. There were bull Reds in Venice, but every guide that you have seen on TV was on two groups of fish. My […]
Montauk… The End
If there’s a heaven, and I go there It’s got to be like Montauk in the fall, only I’d be the only guy on the beach and there’s twenty pounders bouncing off my legs in the wash and albies just outside of them.
Welcome to Montauk
Sheer insanity….. That’s what I was thinking last night standing in the rain, this place is sheer insanity. I’d flown clear across the country to stand in the intermittent rain waving a 10 wt hoping to catch some fish.

Bait and Switch
In mid-July, we headed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for a family reunion. Upon hearing that, only one thing popped into the minds of my brother and I, and that one thing has a huge and unique dorsal fin and has been dubbed “the Elizabeth Hurley of game fish.” If we didn’t want to be anti-social, we had […]
