Our arrival signaled the capstone of our month long sojourn in the Caribbean. As the ferry workers unloaded our pontoons onto the dock, we patiently awaited the arrival of our wheels with our eyes affixed towards the flats. We were pumped to say the least, our minds warped by heightened expectations and two long weeks of very slow fishing and […]
Pure Bliss
A Week on a Beach
As the rising sun flooded the volcanic hillsides, we piled our gear on the dock to await our ferry. In a few short hours, we’d be wet-wading, in the moment, for the next 8 days.

New Gear, Preview of Fall, and a Few Trips South

Here is a video someone took with a cell phone. I will post a link when the real video becomes available. I believe […]
Counting Sheeps(head)
Well to sum it up. I put 3 absolute perfect shots on 3 fish with three dif flies and they all got ignored. Found out the sheeps were eating muscles after spooking one off and looking at what he left behind. They were everywhere! We seen over 30 fish some nice sized. My buddy went with me, his first time […]
