Year: 2011
I havn’t been out a lot lately, though I’m hearing that the bonefish and permit are around in good numbers, provided you can see them. The cloud cover has been the number one complaint, but when the sun is out or fishing is taking place over white sand the visibility seems to lead to good…
Read MoreToday seems like the first day since Isaac that it sounds decent out there. I haven’t been out since before I left for Montana, but the reports I’m getting are pretty good from my friends that are out there today. On Tuesday my mother Vicky Linville arrives and we fish with Drew Delashmit on Wednesday.…
Read MoreAaron Snell and I met at the shop this morning at 6:30. We cut loose the Borski canoe from the ceiling, and put it in the back of his truck. We began at the pond near his house, and landed a few baby tarpon from shore before launching the vessel and heading to the other…

Read MoreThe photos below show some amazing stuff–prey and predator in their natural environment. The Hunted: The Hunter: More Hunter: Pretty amazing to see. I’m leaving for the New Orleans Fly Tackle Dealers show on Wednesday, and I’ll try to keep up with this page during my trip. Fishing on the flats remains steady as far…

Read MoreWe left early on Monday to get to the Flamingo ramp by 6:30. Andy put us on fish, though none appeared to be of sufficient size for our intended goal of breaking the 6 lb record. By 11:30, boxed in by storms and feeling the electricity in the air, we elected to take it to…
