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 […]
Glutton for Punishment
Let’s Search for Silver
Well, Spring has been in full swing for the past month. Normally, that would mean I would be balls deep in schools of over slot redfish all over Florida Bay. But not this year, this Spring I’m chasing silver.
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.
Drum and Bass
I feel as if the past two months, it has been endless days of sustained winds of over 20knts. It has made it tough, but sometimes you just got to tough it out and do some fishing. Going out to Flamingo when it’s blowing 30mph is always an adventure. Especially when you decide to run 30+ miles through open water, […]
Quick Report 1/14/13
My friend Kent recently fixed his boat. We headed to the glades for it’s maiden inshore voyage. We did alright for a quick day on the water. Kent and alex caught some trout with tons of lady fish and jacks in the mix. Kent was using topwater spook and Alex was using paddle tails on a jig head. I figured […]
Quackers
I got invited to go on my first duck hunt this past weekend. I had been wanting to go for a while, so I jumped at the opportunity. I got my permits and stamps in line, and made plans to meet my buddies Nut and Brad over on the east coast on Friday night. After too many beers, we went […]
Way In The Back
8+ miles round trip through mangrove tunnels, bouncing off trees, Gators blocking your way, sketch as fuck, sometimes leads to Tarpon that will eat a fly at noon. Sorry for the shitty pics, did I mention the whole trip was Sketchy as hell?
River Poons
Last month, on our way back from fishing the Herman Lucerne Memorial Tournament in Islamorada, my buddy Mike and I took a trip deep into Everglades National Park to fish for some river poons with Capt. Bob LeMay.
Flamingo to Islamorada
I have been wanting to do a big kayak trip for a long time. This was going to be the last summer weather window of the year and I didn’t want to waste it. I called up Dan and Alex and without hesitation both said hell yes! I am really glad they joined me because they provided most of the […]
I used to hate tying flies
My buddy Pat helped me tighten my fly tying game up a bit recently and I started to actually use some of the materials I have to tie some shit. I tied this little baitfish with Marabou, Ostrich, flash, and EP Streamer Brush and Sparkle Brush. And then was surprised when it actually caught fish: Other photos from the last few […]
