Once or twice a year I get to take a trip down to my favorite place in the world to wet a fly line, Everglades National Park. Growing up in the Midwest and primarily fishing carp, bass, and trout on the fly, whenever I get a chance to go down to southwestern Florida I jump on it. Having a home […]
Every Opportunity Taken…
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 […]
Ailing Afternoon Drive
After being trapped all day in bed with a fever, I decided to get out in hopes that it would at least clear my mind. So I made a call and was on my way. My buddy Warren Chin and I stopped by Strongarm Products new facility to check it out. Of course, we brought fly rods with us, as […]
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…… […]
A Few New Pictures
Just a few new pictures from recent days on the water. Enjoy!
Jumping Poon Sequence
We went searching for tarpon again last week. The conditions were not as good as last time, but we found a decent amount of rollers. Brandon managed to stick a hook in one fish’s mouth. The fish jumped several times during the fight. He leadered the fish on a few occasions, but the fish managed to pull loose boat-side before […]
Tarpon Season
Well, we have been in full blown tarpon season for a while now. I have to admit, I’m kinda ready for them to leave. The days are long, and days off are non existent. Random cancellations pop up here and there, but it’s tough to find people to fish with on short notice. I have had a few good days […]
