I spent the other day fishing for a few hours in the Glades with my buddy Mike and my Chowda Dogg. The conditions were like you read about….. glass calm, not a cloud in sight, and complete blue bird skies. We had the place all to ourselves. Post front winter time fishing can be great and often times you get […]
G lassed Out
Black Friday
I decided to use the skiff to mothership my kayak today. I explored some new territory and tried to hide from the wind. The gators had the place on lockdown. When you come face to face with these dinosaurs in the mangrove tunnels you have two options. Turnaround and go home or roll the dice and try to squeeze by […]
The feel good story of the year.
This past Sunday night at a benefit for Naples area guide Wes, my buddy Hunter bid on a fly box donated by master fly tier Nick Davis, from 239 Flies. Hunter is pretty new to the fly game, and was able to get his first sight fished Red on the fly this morning, using one of the flies from the box […]
Bad Sun Rising…
Forgot how much I enjoyed early morning drives to the water. Its nice to forget the shitty work week for a change and join a bud for a quick redfish trip. The sound of stepping on the boat brings back old memories of past fishing trips. Its been awhile ol friend. Being away from the water so long I consistantly found myself doing a […]
Destin Road Trip
I headed up to Destin to visit some friends for a long weekend. The goal was Bull Reds but they didn’t want to cooperate this year despite the great weather.

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 […]
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 […]
