Fishing Reports
At the moment, I haven’t been fishing much. John Benvenuto and I went out for a day of exploration on Monday, and we had a great time. We fished some new pieces of water that we’ve been meaning to look at in the Cuda Bowl, and while we found the bottom and depth we were…
Read MoreOn Tuesday I fished with Ian Slater for a half day before he had to get to work. Joining us was Michael Hetzel, who has been staying with Kat and myself for the last week. While we had made a brief foray into the dock lights for baby tarpon a few nights ago, this was the…
Read MoreLast Tuesday I fished for a few hours in the morning with Ian Slater. Ian had to leave the water early for a shift at the shop, so we made a half day out of the morning. The permit fishing has been good, if windy, and as such we spent our time looking for a…

Read MoreA week ago, Kat and I returned from Belize for our annual trip with Eworth Garbutt in Belize. Our goal was to permit fish, turn off the phones, and spend some time on the water together. Further, Kat and I had been talking about the possibility of her throwing some light stuff at the fish.…
Read MoreIt’s been a great week of traveling and fishing in Belize with Kat and Eworth Garbutt. As we’ve done the last few years, we took a week away from the shop and made it down to spend some time permit fishing in new waters with and old friend. I have much to report from the…
Read MoreFriday was the Superfly, and I again fished it with Aaron Snell. It’s been a while since I fished with Aaron, and it was great to get on the water with him. We did not have an opportunity to prefish the day before the event, as we are currently without a shop manager (if anyone…
Read MoreLast week, after I returned from my tree diving adventure with Steve, I had a couple days booked with John O’Hearn. Our target was permit, though the same weather system that had plagued us in the Everglades continued to shed its lack of light on the lower Keys. John and I went out anyway, and…
Read MoreIn an effort to keep things saltwater-centric (and to retain a prayer of getting caught up on these reports before I leave for Belize), I’m going to gloss over the trip to Montana that Kat and I took the third week in August. We visited Fitz and Dotty, and caught some trout. We also carp…
