These pages haven’t been getting much love lately, and for that I apologize. I have been fishing, though, and have much to report. First, I had a great few hours with Justin Rea earlier in the week. In a morning fun-fish, we caught a few bonefish while wading. It was great to see some fish…
Read MoreThe summer months have set in, and as such my fishing has slowed a bit. Yesterday I went out lobstering with Jared Cyr, and while I was unable to get any he was very kind to share some that he had caught with me. Next week, I’m headed out with John O’Hearn for a serious…
Read MoreThis morning I had an opportunity to get out on the water for a few hours with Captain Jared Cyr. Our plan was to “fun fish”, codespeak for push one another around. We started near to Key West, and Jared had a decent shot at a single permit that disappeared in the early glare. Following…
Read MoreOver the weeekend, I fished for two days with John O’Hearn. Our target was a permit record on 2 lb tippet. Currently, the record is held by Del Brown and Steve Huff. Day One: We started off by fishing for tarpon before the light was high enough to see permit. In two hours we had…

Read MoreThe last four days Aaron and I went fishing in the Del Brown Permit Tournament. I had a great time with Aaron, and would like to thank him for some of the most amazing days of permit fishing I’ve ever had. It sure was a blast, and we won the tournament. After a close second…
Read MoreLast weekend (5-6 July) I fished with Captain Joe Rodriguez in the Poor Boys tournament in Islamorada. While we had a great first day of fishing, it wasn’t enough to carry us through a second tough day that was, for us, fishless. Captain Brian Helms came through with a super-solid second day, posting four releases.…
Read MoreAs July arrives, we’ve got lots to be happy about. The weather is nice, the crowds have gone, and the fishing is by all accounts great. This week upcoming I have no fishing planned until Saturday, when I’m fishing with Joe Rodriguez in the Poor Boys tournament in Islamorada. It’s been a while since I…
Read MoreSince the Gold Cup, I’ve been recuperating and hadn’t planned much fishing. That said, and in an effort to get these pages back on track, I have a few fishing excursions to report. The first was an evening trip with some new friends. I had given Josh a casting lesson earlier in the day, and…
