Fishing Reports
I realize that the reports haven’t been updated in a while, though it has not been for lack of raw material production. Tarpon season is in full swing, and I’ve been fishing lots. I’ll start the catch up to current with a report of the two days I had last week with Steve Huff, during…
Read MoreTomorrow I leave for two days of fishing with Steve Huff, again in pursuit of the six. A report will follow. If you read these reports you know how much time we’ve spent and how much we want to get it done. One way or another I’ll put up the results. Nathaniel
Read MoreYesterday and the day prior I fished with Captain Chris Robinson. It’s not often that I get to fish with Chris, but we are usually able to make two days happen in the beginning of April. As was the case last year, our fishing was challenging and we had to put in some time to…
Read MoreAfter the day with Simon, I took the second day off and Kat went fishing by herself. Without getting into the specifics (for that, Kat will have to be convinced to write her own report), I’ll say that she hooked three tarpon and lost a large permit to a broken leader–a tough break on the…
Read MoreAfter the trip with Doug, I had two days booked with Simon Becker. In light of some additional work required at the shop, Kathryn and I were unable to attend the days together. Instead, the first day I fished with Simon and Kathryn followed up with him the following day. On my day of fishing,…

Day One: We began fishing at the end of a small run, and had some great opportunities to start. A few large schools of fish rolled in some deeper…
Read MoreIt’s been a long week, and there is much to report. The March Merkin tournament ended two days ago, and our fishing was challenging but rewarding. In the end, we won the event–something I am incredibly happy about and have many people to thank for–primarily, John O’Hearn. Before the tournament started, I fished for a…
Read MoreOn Tuesday and Wednesday, I fished with Captain Scott Collins. We were joined by my wife, and our target was permit. Day One: We started in the morning, and everything but the wind seemed to be in our favor. We set out to find some fish to throw at. At our first stop, we found…
Read MoreThe last two days I fished with Captain Drew Delashmit and Kathryn Linville. With the March Merkin fast approaching, we decided to devote our time solely to permit. Day One: With wind and good visibility, we had a great bunch of conditions for permit fishing. We started at 8 AM, and in the morning found…
Read MoreWhile I write this, I’m wishing I was fishing. The weather has turned around after a brief drop in temperature yesterday, and the fishing seems to be good (though windy). I’ll know more about what I missed today when I fish with Drew Delashmit and Kat on Tuesday and Wednesday. Earlier in the week, after…
