Sometime around the end of September the season here in Florida begins to change and I personally put on a whole new game face. Casting platforms, fly rods, flies and micros take a backseat to tree stands, bows, guns and camo. The usual late night tarpon runs turn into early morning trips to the woods as tarpon season turns into […]
Seasons Change
Good Timing
Ever have something happen during your daily routine that makes you say to yourself “talk about good timing”? Good timing is an understatement when describing what happened to me over the summer. As fishing off paddleboards was a rapidly growing style of fishing, and since I didn’t have the money for a boat, I figured it was a good way to increase the […]
The Addiction
I could start this post by telling you that I’ve fished my whole life, which would be true, in a way. As a kid I fished the lakes of Valrico,FL for bass, catfish, bluegill, and even alligators. Basically anything that would bite my lure was what I was after. I loved fishing back then, but that’s not when my obsession truly […]
Long H i atus
To say that I haven’t posted anything in a long while would be an understatement. I have a list of excuses, but I don’t even want to hear them myself. Busy season lasted longer than it ever has for me this year, which is hard to complain about. Getting to fish for a living is a dream job to me, […]
Rainy Days
The weather in the Keys has totally gone to crap the last few days. Endless rain and wind have me cooped up in the house, and it’s starting to get to me. I came across this video while schmoozing on the Venturing Angler website. I was mesmerized by watching these micro permit feeding in their natural environment. And, the title […]

“TURF-N-SURF”video
This past weekend of July 11, 2014, I decided to make a last minute trip to Port Orange, Fl to fish and surf with good friends Patrick Gingras and his girlfriend Becca Courtney. Friday afternoon I gathered up all my stuff and headed over there for a weekend full of fun. We explored a lot of new areas on foot […]
St Brandon’s- A Fly Fishing gem
A month ago, I found myself frantically packing and re-packing my bags after a short notice opportunity to visit St Brandon’s atoll with well known guiding co Flycastaway. This little atoll, approximately 5 miles long and 2 miles wide is part of Mauritius, an Island in the Indian ocean off the East Coast of Africa. After a 5 hour […]
“In the Loop”
This video is about an afternoon doing some exploring/fishing in Loop Road located in the Everglades right off US41. Loop road is the reason why I started flats fishing in the first place. Its an awesome place to go with friends and family. There is an abundance of wildlife such as, fish, gators, and birds. Right now its the dry […]
25 Tarpon
My friend Richard, fellow NYC angler and aficionado of the southern skinny, sent me this video he put together from his last trip down to the wilds of the Florida Bay and the Keys. They launched a shit load of silver and got a bunch of fish to hand. It’s jealousy inducing and also prettay, prettay, prettay fucking cool. Watch it and enjoy. 25 tarpon from […]
