I’ve been busy so the reports have suffered. Last week, I fished with Doug Kilpatrick for two days. On the second, we were joined by Dave Dalu. Day One: Doug and I woke up in the teeth of a cold front that had parked on the lower Keys, and while the fishing was likely going…

The last four days have been truly incredible. I write this the day after fishing for four with John O’Hearn. While we didn’t win, we put forth our best efforts and tried hard. Before I get in to the specifics of each day, I want to take a moment to congratulate Captain Scott Collins and…

Monday and Tuesday I fished with Aaron Snell. We were to be joined by Kathryn on Tuesday, though with the Merkin upcoming and knowing that most of the day would be spent with me pining for more practice we decided that I should go it alone with Aaron and try to grease the groove a…

The fishing has slowed, and while this is sad it also is a good thing: we simply can’t have as much warm weather and great fishing this time of year without paying for it later. The cold front that came through has already gone away, but from what I hear the fishing has yet to…

These reports have been slow lately, but I’m back in action. Here’s what all has been going on: Last week (Monday and Tuesday) I fished with Doug Kilpatrick. On Monday I fished alone, and on Tuesday was joined by Kathryn Vallilee. Monday started out well, as we found some tarpon. I was throwing six, hoping…

Last week I fished two days with John O’Hearn. On the first day we were joined by Kathryn Vallilee. Day one started out with a fair amount of pomp when Kathryn fed a medium sized pon on her frst shot. She came within inches of the release before breaking the fish off, and was sufficiently…

Yesterday, I had a day off from both work and fishing. I went to the park to cast a fly rod for a few hours with Kathryn, and afterwards thought it would be worth a look for a small pon. We found them, though I couldn’t buy a bite. After a fly change and letting…

Yesterday and today were the first relatively cold days we’ve had here in a while, and even though the fishing was slightly shut down due to the chill it’s always nice to have some cold fronts during the winter to put everything back to its right place. As the warming trend continues the fish will…

After the days with Steve, I fished with John O’Hearn as a guest of Ted Margo. We had a great time, and while it took us a few hours to locate the lips we eventually finished the day with a few shots. It’s worth mentioning that Ted Margo made a few of the best casts…

I am in the process of catching up with the reports, so please forgive me for being a week late on these pages. Following the three epic days of barracuda fishing with John Benvenuto, I got in the car for the four hour drive to Everglades City to fish for the six with Steve Huff.…
