As this is my first time posting on the blog I wanted to start with the roots. We all have our home turf where the fishing just comes easy to us. Well, my stomping grounds are that of the not so clear waters of Naples, Florida. You wouldn’t imagine Naples as the latest and greatest fishing destinations, but you would […]
No Place Like Home
The Art of Friendship
For myself, these past few weeks have been extremely hectic. I have been swamped with commissioned work since mid June, and with a few events approaching, my free time has been limited. Now, throw in some terrible weather into the equation, and fishing has been almost impossible. But with our friends over at Strongarm Products having the grand opening event […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
Back Up Tails – Islamorada Variety
Last week, fellow blogger Jeremy Loercher hit me up and said he’d be making his way down to the Keys, and asked if I’d hitch up my skiff and meet him in Islamorada to put a bend on the long rods. I checked my schedule and the conditions and agreed. So Sunday night I drove down to the Kon Tiki […]
Solo Mission to Mingo 8/3/13!!!!!! DAMn YOU THERMOS
After working all week long, I needed to get some fishing done. This week I had to work or DJ every single day. A last minute cancellation for my gig on Saturday, gave me a window. Friday night while Djing in South Beach, I was contemplating on wether to hit the park or not! I was very tired at the […]
The End Is Near
With the guide season coming to a fast approaching close, the anticipation of some time off is hard to bare. In 2 weeks, we make our return to the Bahamas for the 3rd SWC Bahamas Bonefish Beat Down, and I can’t think of a better way to end a long guide season. Good friends, Kalik, conch salad , monster bones…… […]
Summertime Reds in the Park
Since the weather has been pretty bad lately, I figured I post my last trip on the Diablos to the park. My favorite part of the day was paddling out in slick calm waters of the ENP. We had 3 double hookup with my friend PK. Fly fishing rookie PK caught 7 reds on fly that day. his second time […]
