Last night I fished with Aaron Snell. We were joined by Kathryn Vallilee, who was hoping to catch her first large tarpon. While Aaron had found many fish in a few places the night before, we were unable to find the scales we wanted and called it a night early. Tomorrow I’m headed back out…

Here’s a few photos–the first is courtesy John O’Hearn, who put on a show with Ted Margo on the bow: The second is of the large fish Aaron and I dried off on Monday, the only fish we hooked during some picking through lean areas: Tonight I’m fishing with Aaron, hoping to pull on a…

Yesterday I fished with Aaron Snell. As much as I fish with Aaron, we hadn’t spent a day on the water in a few weeks and it was great to be out with him again. We began fishing a spot for laid up fish, and while we didn’t see many we were able to feed…

Friday I was invited to fish with Dave Dalu and Scott Collins, two fishermen I look up to. I was happy to be spending the day with two people that had such a large impact on my own fishing aspirations. We began at 8 AM, and in very short order we had a group of…

Sunday I fished with Captain Drew Delashmit and Ted Margo. We had incredibly tough conditions, but made the best of it with our effort. We fished for 8 hours, in the clouds and the near 30 mph breeze, for a few shots. There isn’t much to say about it except thanks to Drew for sticking…

For the next three days, I’ll be on the water and unable to load any reports until I return. It’s unknown if there will be any photos for the next three days (and again on Friday with Dave Dalu and Scott Collins), so I figured I’d post some pictures. Aaron Snell provided the following, enjoy.…

Yesterday I fished with Howard Davis and Drew Delashmit. Our target was tarpon. We began by poling a long edge in the backcountry, looking for a few sliding creatures. I was up first and, after a slow 45 minutes, had a shot at a pair of fish that cooperated: I dried off a 70 pound…

It’s been an interesting three days. Kathryn Vallilee and I headed up to the IGFA to attend the awards dinner and lend some Angling Company support to Dotty Ballantyne, who received a lifetime achievement award in recognition of her capture of over 100 IGFA fly rod records. Needless to say, The Angling Company is beyond…

Yesterday I fished with Captain Chris McCreedy, and our target was tarpon. After a more-harrowing-than-normal week, between last week’s cutting off: both of Sandy and Howard and myself at Loggerhead as well as Lenny’s finger (nearly) by a shark, I decided to leave the six pound at home and throw some sixteen pound tippet at…

Wednesday I fished with Captain Lenny Leonard and my mother, Vicky. We intended to fish for sharks, and though we started by tarpon fishing we only saw a few fish in a channel and never really got a shot. In an hour, we were heading west to deploy a bonita and try our luck at…
