With the collapse of the perch fishery imminent and inevitable, we figured we best try our luck as soon as possible. After all, from Dar es Salaam, Lake Victoria is easier to reach than Egypt’s Lake Nasser.

Labor Day Weekend in the Keys!
Let me start by saying that I haven’t fished once this past month. I finally had a break from work and Djing this weekend. The weather was was looking great there was no way I was gonna pass up this opportunity. Couple of weeks before I got a call from Jose Chavez to go fish in the keys during this […]
Manipulating Variables
““When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.” – John Muir Imagine stocking one of the largest lakes on the planet, already lush with life adapted to its unique habitats, with an invasive eating machine capable of reaching more than 300lb. Couple that with a surrounding population of […]
F a L L
Well, firstly, I would personally like to welcome Fall back to the Florida Keys. We have been waiting a long time for you… This is hands down my favorite time of year to go fishing for just about everything that swims. The weather is nice….. sometimes, the vast flocks of googans raping the ocean of it’s lobsters are gone, the […]
An African Adventure
Upon seeing that the school year would begin with a 5-day break because of Eid, the end of Ramadan, my first thought was “Where can I go fishing?” By chance, I stumbled upon some information regarding a species of huge fish that can be found, at least for the time being, in a relatively nearby body of freshwater: Lake […]
Not Taking Things For Granted, and Glad To Be Back On The Water.
A couple of months ago, I was walking around at work with a sore back. This was not an uncommon experience, as I have been plagued with back pain of varying degrees since injuring myself playing football in college. I tried to sit down, and realized that unlike the other times my back hurt, I could not sit in a […]
Shenandoah Bachelor Party
With a week to go before the wedding, a group of guys convened in Shenandoah National Park for the bachelor party. This place is an absolute gem and never disappoints, even if the weather is something less than cooperative.
Fly Night at Rainer and Noel’s
Our buddy Rainer invited a few guys over his place to drink some booze, tie some flies and hang out. So a few of us went over and had a ball. We got there slightly earlier than the fly tying would be going down, so we messed around with Rainer’s 3 and 5 wt fly rods in his back yard. […]
Fishoutawata Music Festival
About a month ago, I agreed to do some live painting at an event in the Brickell/Downtown Miami area. It was a music festival titled “Fishoutawata” by “The Cornerstoners”. I was one of four artist to be live painting. The artists involved were “Bruno Vago”, “Kazilla”, “Registered Artist” and myself. There was some awesome live music, and a great atmosphere. […]
El Chupacabra
My brother Matt was married on a Friday evening in the Poconos to his ultimate catch, Stacy. The wedding party spent the weekend at a lake house nearby and word on the street was that there were hordes of carp inhabiting the waterway. Needless to say, but along with my wedding attire I packed a truck load of fishing equipment […]
