I was down in the park for one of my routine visits, on Independence Day. While I was out fishing, word had spread that there was a fire in the park. The one road in and out had been shut down. The fire burned roadside and even jumped the road. And spread into the depths of the park. But with […]

Grass Carp
After seeing Adam Hope post a new pic of a slob Grass Carp a few weeks ago, I got inspired to leave the Keys for a day and do some canal fishing on the main land. The canals up there are loaded Grass Carp and time after time they prove to be a challenging opponent. We managed to find tailing […]
Canvas and Acrylics
Throughout the NBA playoffs, I found myself far too into what was an emotional roller coaster. Feeling great at the highest points, and feeling like gum on the bottom of a carny’s shoe at the lowest. So when the Miami Heat finally made it to the Finals, I knew it was going to be brutal. I had to find something […]
One Last Time.
Three years ago, my brother Matt decided that he was going to leave his inner city Baltimore teaching job and assume the same position in the Caribbean. A fortunate byproduct of that decision was its impact on my fly fishing. As a teacher, I too have the summer’s off, and it became a destination of mine to travel and take […]

He scored this beautiful bonefish on the first cast of the morning….it all went down in perfect fashion. Next spot I got a good shot at a permit following a ray, but the permit was absolutely […]
Pit Stop in Ft. Myers
On our way back home from Tampa, we decided to stop at Bass Pro in Ft. Myers. I had the bright idea to call up the homie Kyle “Big Snook” Petrick to see if we can get in on some fish. He mentioned the night tide would be great for snook. So Mario and I decided to stick around town […]
Ankona Owners Tournament
As some of you may know, I have a 2012 Ankona Copperhead Gen2. This past Saturday, they had set up a fun fishing tournament for owners of Ankona skiff’s to meet and hang out. Alissa took home the cash winning all three species, and being the only angler to slam. But despite that, I had a great time hanging out […]
