Fishing with Chris McCreedy and Fitz last week

June 9, 2013 Comments Off on Fishing with Chris McCreedy and Fitz last week

Earlier this week, I fished with Chris McCreedy and Fitz Coker. Since Fitz is leaving for Montana shortly, the window for us to hang out in is rapidly shrinking. Even though the weather had been windy and cloudy and rainy (driving more than a few people batty over the last few weeks) we decided to…

June 7, 2013 Comments Off on Fishing with Jason Schratwieser and Aaron Snell

On Tuesday I had the pleasure of fishing with Jason Schratwieser, the conservation director of the IGFA. Jason and I have known one another for a while, but we had not yet fished together until now. I booked Aaron Snell for a day of fishing, and while the weather left much to be desired we…

May 31, 2013 Comments Off on Fishing with John O’Hearn last week

Finally, here’s an account of last week’s four-day trip with John O’Hearn. For the first three days, we were joined by Frankie Marion, who was shooting some video footage of our escapades (in preparation of next year’s planned video venture). He was kind enough to send us some stills of the fishing for this report.…

May 29, 2013 Comments Off on Ted Margo, Brad Bowman, many creatures

I have yet to upload the large report from my four days with John O’Hearn last week, since I only just got photos from Frankie Marion who was on hand to document the proceedings. In the interim, while it’s pouring rain and blowing 25, here’s an account of my good friend Ted “Teddy Eyes” Margo…

Fishing this week, report to come

May 26, 2013 Comments Off on Fishing this week, report to come

Last week I spent four days with John O’Hearn. A full report is forthcoming, since I’m not scheduled to fish at all next week and will have photos to back up the stories. In the meantime, here are some pictures from Aaron Snell, who’s been slamming them pretty hard: Enjoy, the wind seems to be…

Currently, next week

May 18, 2013 Comments Off on Currently, next week

At the moment I lack a personal report to post here, given the lack of fishing I’ve been doing for the last week. That said, it’s worth mentioning here that the wind has been the primary issue out there and that, while many fish have been about, they aren’t super excited about biting. Monday I…

Fishing with RT last Sunday

May 15, 2013 Comments Off on Fishing with RT last Sunday

Sunday I fished with RT Trosset. Our target was tarpon–specifically, there was hope that we might pick a fight with a large fish on 6# tippet. As it was, we were unable to come tight but once (briefly) to a fish we couldn’t see. There were fish around us, and one even turned and tracked…

Fishing yesterday with Aaron and Adam Tondu

May 11, 2013 Comments Off on Fishing yesterday with Aaron and Adam Tondu

Yesterday I fished with Aaron Snell and Adam Tondu, a friend from Chicago in town to catch his first tarpon. We started early, and in short order Aaron had us on a school of rolling fish. Adam was up first and it didn’t take long for Aaron to have him in position for a number…

Fishing last night

May 9, 2013 Comments Off on Fishing last night

Last night I fished with Aaron Snell. We were joined by Kathryn Vallilee, who was hoping to catch her first large tarpon. While Aaron had found many fish in a few places the night before, we were unable to find the scales we wanted and called it a night early. Tomorrow I’m headed back out…
