The last two day I fished with Aaron Snell. We fished alone the first day, and Dave Dalu joined us yesterday. Dave and I were supposed to fish again today with Captain Ray Vasquez, but we had to reschedule the day due to family commitments. Day one: Aaron and I began at a reasonable 9:30…

Read MoreYesterday I fished with Aaron Snell, and we were in full pursuit of the 6. The problem, this time of year, is that most of the fish come in sizes too small and places too deep for success. As such, we made a major concession when we decided to look for a large fish in…
Read MoreHere are some photos of my day last week with Jim Vincent and Lenny Leonard: Additionally, I fished two nights ago with Lenny Leonard. We left the dock at 8:15, and as the tide died we had fish around the boat but couldn’t get one to bite. After a few hours we finally hooked a…
Read MoreIt’s good out there. Also good to be at work, but I mean really. Come on, you’d rather be out there too. Aaron Snell emailed me these photos to prove it: Enjoy; I hope you’re out there. Regards, ncl
