November 13, 2012 Comments Off on Fishing yesterday with Aaron

Yesterday, not having fished in a while, I booked Aaron for a half day of shark fishing. Since the majority of my recent angling has been spent in hot pursuit of the 6 lb tarpon record, and before that I spent 3 years on the 2 lb shark record, I figured it to be the…

November 7, 2012 Comments Off on Fishing with Bruce on Monday

On Monday I fished with Captain Bruce Chard. The days leading up to our trip were windy, warm, and sunny–perfect conditions for permit.

In my continued effort to get current with the reports, I am reporting on a day of fishing that took place almost a week to the day before Sandy. From the pictures I’ve seen from where I grew up (in Norwalk, Connecticut, within sight of NYC) a lot of damage was done. The Angling Company…

I know these reports have suffered recently; I have been travelling in Vermont and NY for 10 days, and have some stories to catch up on here. Let’s begin with the two days with Joe Rodriguez before I left for northcountry. Day One: Joe and I readied the 6 lb tippet and attendant gear into…

Current conditions, a first, next week

October 13, 2012 Comments Off on Current conditions, a first, next week

Currently the fishing is great, though the wind has picked up and is making it difficult. Increased wind, however, means that the permit are less fussy–Dr. Wayne Holley, guided by Joel Dickey, capitalized on this yesterday when he caught his first permit: Obviously well done. I am scheduled to fish with Joe in the park…

Fishing the glades yesterday

October 10, 2012 Comments Off on Fishing the glades yesterday

Yesterday I fished with Joe Rodriguez in the Everglades. We were fishing exclusively 6 lb tippet and looking for large tarpon. We left Islamorada at about 8:00, and ran to the park. We were plagued by clouds: both dense and between us as the sun, as well low on the horizon, casting a shady haze…
