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 […]
Redfish That Act Like Bonefish
Trying to sight fish reds in the Everglades can be pretty frustrating. Today was one of those days. The Reds were mudding in water that barely covered their backs and were spooky as hell. A couple turned on the fly then spooked. As soon as the tide changed I found the dumb one: Photo Via: Rich Jones
In Honor of Throwback Thursday
Well, here’s what I did before fishing. I was big into the local Lowrider scene. This was my 1986 Buick Regal. It had a 4 pump hydraulic setup, on 13’s for a while. But it had powdercoated 14’s before I took it apart.

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 […]
Three to go…
I’ve been slacking hardcore on carp updates… My quest to catch at least one carp per month, January through December has been going quite well… Commence Carp Overload… June:
It’s a shark, it’s a big A$$ Shark
Headed out to ENP yesterday to get my redfish fix. Once at the boat ramp the weather looked great for like 10 minutes then it started to blow to about 15 to 20 knots from the west to south west i was like its gonna suck today. Even though the weather conditions sucked and spooky redfish did not want to […]
Fall is coming
Every year when the water temps start to drop, there is a little spot by my house that loads up with flounder. I took the paddle board out the other day looking for a sandwich. Bingo! The sammich didn’t last long enough for a picture.
Slow Days
Trying to help Dan get his first bone on fly has been tough. Come out come out wherever you are! Trying to untangle Dan’s mess. Apparently his fly line basket only works on the kayak and not in the water….lol
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 […]
