Earlier in the week, John O’Hearn and I fished in the Del Brown. During the Poor Boys I had been hearing reports from John and others that the permit fishing was astoundingly good, and I hoped this would continue through the tournament. John and I were slated to fish on Saturday as a prefish day–the…

Last week, after recovering from the Gold Cup and catching up on some much needed sleep, I fished with Ian Slater for a half a day to attempt getting in to permit shape before the Del Brown. The fishing was slow (though not as slow as a 9 weight rod felt after tarpon season), and…

After a longer than intended wait, here’s a full report of our fishing in the Gold Cup. I hope to upload the reports from a day with Ian permit fishing and the Poor Boys, which ended yesterday, tomorrow. The Del Brown starts on Sunday, so I’ll have that report up when I can at the…

There is a longer report due for my fishing with John, though I wanted to get the results of the tournament up here as soon as I had time. After five incredible days, Captain Joe Rodriguez and Julian Robertson maintained their lead after day 3 for an incredible win with five weight fish and seven…

Last Thursday and Friday I fished with John O’Hearn. On the second day we were joined by Dave Dalu, with whom I haven’t fished in a long time. It was great to fish with John. It was also great to get on the water with Dave for a fun day of fishing before the Gold…

Through last Wednesday, I fished in the Golden Fly with John O’Hearn. The week prior we fished on Thursday and Friday for some pre-tournament practice. I realize this report is late, but that’s how it is this time of year. Prefish Days: With two days booked and the plan to fish the Sunday before the event…

I have a lot to write about our fishing in the Goldenfly, and there is more than I’ll be able to get up in a day or two. A full report will be forthcoming, but for now I’ll leave the results up here. Captain Scott Collins and Ed Young won the event with a consistent…

Last Sunday and Monday, I fished for two days with Simon Becker. On the second of these two days Kat and I shared the boat. Here’s how it all went down. Day One: Simon and I started at a reasonable 8 AM, hoping to find some tarpon to throw at. If you’ve read these reports…

Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend a few hours on the boat with Ian Slater before his shop shift started at 2. We got on the water early, and first took a look for a permit. Our first look netted us nothing (ha! get it?) and we moved after an hour to look for…
