Austin gave me a shout Thursday evening to see if I had any plans for the weekend. His birthday was in a few days, so he wanted to celebrate like any avid angler wants spend their day of birth, on the water. My plans were to fish for the next three days. Perfect. Austin was on the road headed in […]

Finding my Way Back
Well, It’s been a few weeks since I have done any fishing. With the movement to try end breed specific legislation in Miami Dade County, I was busy shooting a documentary about it all. I have a ton of footage from the past couple months. But this last week was hectic with election day being a couple days ago. It’s […]
Double the Fun
Got bored catching redfish one at a time so I decided to double the fun. Fishing’s been good…real good lately…
Everything is Copper
I made it down to Flamingo to complete my birthday week on the water. I was fishing with my buddy Mario. The objective was to pound the redfish with the long rod. Mario had only caught 2 maybe 3 reds on fly in the past, none over 14″. I told him about the madness that had been going on throughout […]
Audible Fishing
At first glance the muddy flats of the Upper Texas Coast aren’t exactly enticing to a sight fisherman. Let’s not kid ourselves these aren’t the pristine flats of Andros, Belize, The Keys, or even the Lower Coast. Our marshes are unwadeable. That is, unless you enjoy trekking through waist-deep mud. Water clarity is often limited to a few inches of […]
Redemption, Some What…
I have fished two tournaments in month of July. Both tournaments, I was able to find some large fish. But for whatever reason, I was unable to get the fish to eat, stick, or get them in the boat. But finally, I was able to go back to the same locations and have at them. This time with a fly […]
Lydia Ann Fly Masters Tourney
I fished the Lydia Ann Fly Masters tournament out of Aransas Pass last Saturday. The weigh was at Tarpon Shores Marina. The 2012 beneficiary was Casting for Recovery. It’s a catch and release fly fishing only tournament. The only tournament of it’s kind here in Texas. There were two categories one for redfish and the other a “open species” category […]
Canvas&Acrylics… Again!
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.
Everglades National Park
You know the artwork from the Marsh Dawn Hat? (see pic below) That exists in real life, it’s your typical summer day in Everglades National Park. You enter the park boundaries. You are in awe of the sunrise and beauty of all the wildlife. Redfish tail everywhere and eat anything you throw at them all morning. Eventually the winds […]
Deadliest Catch – Flamingo FFT
I made it down to the park with Mario. We chased around the big reds and snook all morning in the super skinny. But then the wind decided to turn and kick up to 30mph. So, mario blind casting with the spinner felt something. he reeled in and turned out he somehow hooked a crab around the claw….lol Hit the […]
