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 […]
I used to hate tying flies
FALL is IN the AIR
The last week I have spent breaking in my new boat with some good buddies. We had some incredible weather and had the place all to ourselves. Fall is hands down my favorite time of year down here. There are lots of hungry fish around, and there are plenty of opportunities to try to feed them some chicken feathers. I […]
$Money$
I pretty much hate tying flies. I will in a pinch, but I have friends who like to tie who are nice people. This little thing, tied by Pat Blake, went out fighting over the weekend. In two days it caught: Two tarpon, two snook, five reds, a nice Trout, and some Snapper and Ladyfish. Deerhair, flash, and a Tiemco […]
Money, Guns, Flyfishing, Liquor
I own a bait and tackle shop where in the last year I have sent well over 300,000 live Shrimp and Pinfish to their deaths. If Karma is real, I am fucked. However, this death pays the bills. I fly-fish, and own a skiff. I am lucky enough to have a good group of dudes to fish with that […]
Another reason I love FL

Big Poppa Pump
After the events soon to be described had transpired, our captain Arturo told us a story of one of his long-term clients from the states. This man had fished with Arturo once a year for the past 7 years. In that time, he landed exactly one single solitary roosterfish. Judging by the day we had, he was either an […]
Dinner For 17
Morning on the very tip of the Baja Peninsula, otherwise known as Cabo San Lucas, and we are taking a taxi to the marina for our second ever guided trip. I have been itching the entire time to go fishing and this was going to be my one shot. My family convinced me to put down the rod and they […]
