August 30, 2014 Comments Off on Permit on four lb tippet, last three days

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…

The 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…

This 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…

Over 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…

The 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…

Poor Boys 2014

July 9, 2014 Comments Off on Poor Boys 2014

Last 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.…
