We woke up hungover…drove 15 minutes to the ramp half a sleep. We got some good shots at bones and permit, some of which Chase effed up but some were just bad luck. Then Chase broke the only rod he brought. At one point we saw a 1/4 of rainbow but you had to have your glasses on to see […]
Part Two…Reality Check
How Many Permit Do You See?
The first person to answer correctly will win nothing. Just think how many you don’t see! Always start with the edges when casting at floaters be it tarpon or permit…you never know how many are truly in the school in low light.

Well here are a few more paintings I have done. These are all up for grabs. Although this Bonefish one does match my room color scheme perfectly. Selling it will make more room for more canvas.
Brutal Defeat and Sweet Victory
Day 1: I arrived to an incredible scene…pink sky, light warm wind, any shiny silver tails waving about…this is what summer fishing is all about. I was in perfect position as I took quality shots at tailing bonefish crossing the flat. I continued on later in the morning to the next flat. I waited for any signs of life and […]
