The last two days, I fished with John O’Hearn. The first day, we were joined by Captain John Benvenuto, the second half of our Cuda Bowl team. With overcast conditions and light wind, we were left with not much to do besides cover water in hopes of catching a few on blind casts.…

Yesterday, I fished with Fitz Coker and Kathryn. With an approaching front, our hopes was to get the best we could out of the deteriorating conditions. For us, this meant that the local blacktip shark population would receive our attention, and we staked off in some great current and deployed a few fresh jacks to…

As an addition to the upcoming fishing I have this week with John O’Hearn, Kat and I are going to find the time tomorrow to fish for blacktip sharks with Fitz. A report will follow, and I’m looking forward to getting back onto the water after a dry spell. N

Yesterday I fished with Simon Becker, and we were joined by Kathryn. Our intention was to fish for barracuda and permit if an opportunity presented itself, and that’s pretty much how it worked out. We started a half hour from Key West, and when Simon shut off the motor and I set about doing some…

Happy 2015! After the new years, I took about a week off to spend some time in the shop. We are in the process of receiving all the new goodies for the upcoming season, and with this comes a lot of work. That said we are almost through it, and I’m ready to start committing…

Merry Christmas! Now that’s out of the way, I can get on to more important things. Primarily, fishing–which (until a small cold front rolled through yesterday) has been fantastic. Two days ago I went out for a morning seek with John O’Hearn and John Benvenuto. John B. and I had planned to permit fish around…

Last week I again went to the Everglades with Steve Huff, in pursuit of the six. We had been up there only two weeks prior, and the weather had been increasingly unkind. This latest trip brought us a similar forecast: the fishing would be decent the first day and getting worse from there. Jason Schratwieser…

Well, it’s Thanksgiving. After this report, I’ll be back up to date, and I’m looking forward to keeping up with these pages more consistently in the coming year. I’ve got lots coming up: the Cuda Bowl, the March Merkin, the Goldenfly, the Gold Cup, the Poor Boys, the Del Brown, and more days planned with…

I’m still playing catch up here. Here’s how the fishing went down in the Bahamas with Fitz Coker at the beginning of this month. After arriving in Key West from a trip to NY and PA, I quickly reversed directions and drove up to Lauderdale to meet Fitz at the airport. We had five days…

In the ongoing effort to catch up with these pages, here’s the second installment in the Belize 2015 report. I left off with the tough loss of a tailing permit on the end of day three, our last in Placencia. The following morning we took off to run down the Punta Gorda. Day Four: We…
