Belize PART 2

October 14, 2013 Comments Off on Belize PART 2

After the slam (and some pretty great permit fishing) on the first day, we remained in Placencia for another day before we went to Punta Gorda. We all felt that good things could happen. At the first stop, I waded after a pair of tailing fish with Michael while he fished, and while the casts…

Channel Widening Vote Results

October 2, 2013 Comments Off on Channel Widening Vote Results

So, it seems that we have a victory on our hands. The Key West Chamber of Commerce spent more than twice what we did, and they only won 25% of the popular vote. This means that, for now, the issue has been put to rest. Key West values our natural resource and our long-term visitors…

This morning I woke up to a phone call from Captain Mike Gorton, who had a trip booked today with anglers that didn’t show up. Since he was all set to go, he rang me up to see if I wanted to get out for a few hours. With the vote today (if you don’t…

On Monday and Tuesday, I fished with Will Benson. DAY ONE: We left early from parts far away, and within 20 minutes of leaving the dock we found some small tarpon to play with. I jumped one, had another bite, and as the sun crept higher we elected to leave the pons for some permit.…

Superfly report, Part THREE of THREE

September 9, 2013 Comments Off on Superfly report, Part THREE of THREE

After the last two days of fishing, each with a permit and one with a slam, it was either a great or a terrible way to walk into the Superfly. We had momentum, to be sure, but there was a distinctive possibility that we’d used up all of our mojo. Either way, off we went.…
