I spent the last few days in the Everglades, one day fishing out of Islamorada and the other out of Flamingo. It has been very windy and fishing has been kind of spotty. There were plenty of fish around, but very spooky. On Saturday, I had Pete and Tyler from Orvis on the skiff…
We broke the new skiff in right last night. Les joined me for a night of tarpon fishing in Miami. We started off with a couple of bites that resulted into nothing. We made a move which resulted in our first tarpon in the new boat. An 80lber at that. Can’t think of a…
I am picking up the new boat today and am very excited to start fishing out of a Hell’s Bay Professional. It has been an absolute pleasure going through the build process with everyone at Hell’s Bay. The Professional is the ultimate skiff for fishing out of Flamingo. I promise you will all be spoiled…

I have been spending alot of time deep in the Everglades backcountry due to some windy days that we have had recently. Sometimes you have to get out of the wind and hide a little bit. Hammering the mangroves with flies has been our best bet. When the son gets high enough for us to…

Here is Dennis with a double on snook on a slicked out morning. Both fish were caught on topwater plugs. Gotta love that! Antabuse blocks an enzyme that is involved in metabolizing alcohol intake.
