Some time ago, and with varying degrees of reluctance, I gave up the luxury of “let’s go fishing”. Capitalizing on bluebird days, nonexistent wind, perfect tides, a hot bite, or even being within 800 miles of a redfish with little or no notice is a thing of my past and currently an impossibility. Now my fishing days are few and […]
Games of Chance. Games of Sport.
Easy Livin
The weather last week was perfect. Warm temps and blue skies, hard to ask for anything more. The caliber of the anglers on my boat and great fishing was just a bonus.
Fishing as of lately
Well its almost spring and it seems like the fish are biting. Ive been going out and it has been pretty good. Somedays are really good and some days are not so good. It usually has to do with the wind situation. Calm mornings has been really good but around 10 am the wind starts kicking and everything goes to […]
NOLA
For a long time now I have been dreaming about going to New Orleans to fish the marsh for giant swamp donkey redfish. And, a little over a week ago, I finally made it happen. This trip has been a long time coming, and , was worth all the time, money, planning and effort. What a truly remarkable fishery they […]
Flipping the Coin
As of lately, I have been flipping a coin for every fishing trip I go on. Usually because I am not sure of where I want to go and it usually has to do a lot with the weather. Fishing has been pretty good despite of the bad weather. There has been couple of windows were you can have a […]
Let’s have a great day everyone!
Immediately after the Holidays, I knew I had to hit up the kayak. The high amount of calories had to come to an end. Losing weight is at the top of the list in everyone’s New Years resolution. This year, I am going to focus on shedding some pounds. Aside from that, I hope everyone is looking forward to this […]
Winter Bone
I had the day off today, so, I packed up my Marquesa with fuel, ice, water, a fishing buddy and a Labrador and headed out to look for some familiar old faces. The day started off great. Mike O had a great opportunity at a tailing permit. He made 3 absolutely perfect shots at this fish without the fish showing […]
Marea Roja (Red Tide) & Seasons Greetings from Alabama!
Hello Skinny Water Culture, Paul Sonnen, here reporting from the northern Gulf Coast, and proud to be posting my first of many blogs here on the cyber net! I’m not the best at writing, but hopefully I’ll keep people entertained with large bribes and free booze…..not really, but promise an outlook of my passion for the sport and what drives […]
Perfect Visibility
Lately, I have been doing a lot of exploring. And, unfortunately, I haven’t had too much to show for it as far as fish porn goes. But, I have found some productive new water, and I guess in the end that is a victory in itself. I have been lucky enough to share some amazing experiences with great friends over […]
Finding fish
Finding fish has been tough with the low tides and winds of the last week. Finding big fish has been almost impossible for me. That may be because I suck at fishing. That is all.
