Sunday Aaron and I returned to our shark fishing endeavor, looking for a rematch against the local lemon and blacktip shark population. We began where last week we had found the large group of jack crevalle. This stop was not very productive, though we did manage to capture a single jack for additional bait, a…

A rematch between Team Snell/Linville and Team Shark has been scheduled for Sunday. Results will be posted here. ncl

Yesterday, not having fished in a while, I booked Aaron for a half day of shark fishing. Since the majority of my recent angling has been spent in hot pursuit of the 6 lb tarpon record, and before that I spent 3 years on the 2 lb shark record, I figured it to be the…

Tomorrow Aaron Snell and I are in pursuit of sharks. A report (and hopefully photos) will follow. ncl

Reports are that the jacks are thickly distrubuted on the backs of rays. Get out there and catch them. Lenny Leonard provided the following proof: ncl

On Monday I fished with Captain Bruce Chard. The days leading up to our trip were windy, warm, and sunny–perfect conditions for permit.

A few months ago, our good friend David Miller fished with Mike Gorton (who also guides down here) in Alaska at the Goodnews River Lodge. He supplied the following report and photos from his trip, and while it’s taken me too ling to post it here (with all of my long-winded musings about braking off…

I know these reports have suffered recently; I have been travelling in Vermont and NY for 10 days, and have some stories to catch up on here. Let’s begin with the two days with Joe Rodriguez before I left for northcountry. Day One: Joe and I readied the 6 lb tippet and attendant gear into…

Currently the fishing is great, though the wind has picked up and is making it difficult. Increased wind, however, means that the permit are less fussy–Dr. Wayne Holley, guided by Joel Dickey, capitalized on this yesterday when he caught his first permit: Obviously well done. I am scheduled to fish with Joe in the park…
