For carpers like myself catching an ornamental beauty is one of the best feelings there is. When you manage to catch three in one day… Now that’s something special. Who says carp are ugly?…

Spring is in the Air
High sun, decent winds, and days of clear skies. Finally, Spring is officially here! I did some fishing the past week, and the weather was a bit inconsistent, but I was able to get two good days in, and on foot.

The weather man was calling for low winds, but cloudy skies, so my buddy Ramiro and I made the two hour trek down to Everglades National Park. Only to be greeted by strong 20mph winds, so we headed for cover in disgust by the once again wrong forecast. The wind blew all morning, we kept at it and it paid […]

Our group consists of a colorful cast of characters who traveled from all over the state in search of fish, comradery and adventure. Share, like, enjoy… Read the report about our trip here… https://blog.skinnywaterculture.com/we-saved-a-dolphin/

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.

Now my fishing days are few and […]
