For the record: I never said that I was too “intense” for tournament fishing….and I was honestly a bit annoyed at how that sounds (like something a total idiot would say, quite honestly). What I said was that tournament fishing was too intense for ME. With that said, here is the link to the article…

So this week will mark the beginning of the annual Redbone SLAM tournament in Key West, starting with the Superfly event on Friday. As the sponsort of the tournament, we are of course available to answer any questions regarding this tournament. The Angling Company is happy to support the Redbone Series, working to cure Cystic…

My apologies for the lack of updates lately….on to the business at hand: Our mid to late summer fishing has been great, though a glut of warm weather and difficult tides during the heat of the day lately has made for a few abbreviated trips that ended in a cold cocktail. So far the tarpon…

Well, for those of you who have been following this report for a while, I finally got a few of the photos from Captain Chris Trosset of my trip West with Michael Hetzel, and as it turns out there were not as many great shots as I had imagined. Only one, in fact, that is…

So I have been asked a lot recently about the oil. For whatever i’s worth, here are my feelings: The simple fact of the matter is that we have no historical evidence of what a spill of this magnitude will do. In fact, we have no idea what the magnitude of the spill will be…

It appears as though the fish, perhaps in response to the on-and-off weather we have been experienceing lately, have either been thick as or quite hard to find. A great many captains I have spoken with have seen…

As the wind has receded in the past week or so, the tarpon have been on the flats and channels in large numbers, and the first ocean side fish have begun to show in the waters of the Lower Keys. This is the best of April fishing–when the fish are plentiful and have yet to…

Greetings to all Key West anglers (and those of you headed down here this season to fish but who are otherwise chained to a desk in parts northern and less fishy)! We have had a great week or so of fishing in the lower Keys–captains have reported numerous permit on the flats, as well as…

As many of you by now undoubtedly know, April marks the beginning of tarpon season. This is not to say that there can’t be some epic days on the water in January, February and March, but April 1 through July 31 has been the traditional “tarpon season” as a general guide. While we had a…
