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…

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…

Currently, the weather is turning around for the better. We’ve had a tough time with the weather this year, and it’s no surprise that that’s meant tough fishing. With the addition of a last minute throwback cold front last week, the weather hasn’t been cooperative. All that said, it looks like things are turning around…

Last week I fished a day with Ian Slater to finish up Frankie’s trip down filming, and then followed that with a day with Simon Becker and Kat. With Ian on Sunday: The time we had to fish was cut short by Ian’s shift starting at 2, so we got a early start with hopes…

On Tuesday and Wednesday, I fished with Doug Kilpatrick. The plan was for Jason Schratwieser to join us, but this was foiled by an onset of the office flu that Jason had picked up at IGFA HQ. He politely declined to introduce the virus into the middle of tarpon season in the lower Keys, and…
