I have big hands. Though, as hands go, they are not particularly long. Not of the kind that reach beyond the wrist and threaten the forearm. Nor are they so wide that they swallow other hands, offered in friendly greetings or goodbyes, whole. What they are is thick. Heavy. Fleshy. My palms crease deep and black along their head and […]

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 […]
Eeeeslahmoerahdah
This past weekend, it was my birthday. And I decided to spend it with a couple of buddies down in Islamorada for some fishing. Mike Rossi had never caught a redfish, so that was on our agenda.
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…… […]
Sunday Funday!!
I’ve been working all this week due to the fact that I actually have a job now besides Djing. Sunday was my only day off. The weather was predicted for smooth sailing, so I couldn’t say no. Earlier in the week my friend Robert asked me to take him fishing so he tagged along with me. Robert has never seen […]
Fishing Has Been…….
Dan and I decided to fish the FFT tournament thrown by the guys at Florida Sportsman down in Flamingo. We decided to fish it with only fly rods, as we normally fish on any given day. But if there was ever a day to actually bring some spinning rods on the skiff, this day would have been […]
#mulberrytime
The first week of June usually signals the beginning of that special time of year. Mulberry time. The mulberries are now ripe enough to attract the attention of hungry birds and squirrels. Usually multiple squirrels and a variety of birds can be found in a mulberry tree at any given time. They feed on these berries quite aggressively because […]
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 […]
Take the Good With the Bad
Well, sometimes, even though there’s clouds and wind, there’s still a chance to catch some fish. Although I sometimes find myself deciding to stay in, instead of bust my ass in the elements through rain and wind just to get those handful of shots. But in reality, thats what it’s all about. I mean, any angler can […]
