Last night I had dinner with Ray Vasquez, and it didn’t take very long before we decided we should give this whole “fly fishing for tarpons” thing a try. We grabbed a few rods, hopped in the skiff, and after a 20 minute ride we stopped to look for fish. We didn’t see any at…

It’s great out there. Lots of fish are everywhere (though, to be fair, they’re not always easy to feed) and we are all happy about it. I’m looking forward to fishing with Dave Dalu again on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as the day I have solo with Aaron to get into ‘fish-with-Dalu’ shape. Here’s…

yes….so much worms. Photos here: Fishing is good, and the worms may be over. I’ll be out Monday through Wednesday. regards, ncl

Last night I fished with Captain Bryan Holeman and Jesse from Sage. I cut out early from work, and we drove to Sugarloaf, launched the boat, and proceeded to reel many of them in. I would write where we went and for what reason, but I’m sure you already know. By the end of the…

While I was in New York, the fishing went on without me (I know….so sad). I talked with Fitz, and his experience on Friday seems like a lot of people’s: many shots at lots of fish, but very tough to feed. Lenny reports that his angler John Buxton hooked a few, and other than that…

This morning I fished with Captain Ray Vasquez. We left early and arrived early at the spot; by 6:30 we were fishing. Ray was up first, and we were in fish from the beginning. He had a few shots before one appeared to eat the fly; through no fault of his own (the fish may…

Yesterday I fished with Aaron Snell, and we were in full pursuit of the 6. The problem, this time of year, is that most of the fish come in sizes too small and places too deep for success. As such, we made a major concession when we decided to look for a large fish in…

Here are some photos of my day last week with Jim Vincent and Lenny Leonard: Additionally, I fished two nights ago with Lenny Leonard. We left the dock at 8:15, and as the tide died we had fish around the boat but couldn’t get one to bite. After a few hours we finally hooked a…

It’s good out there. Also good to be at work, but I mean really. Come on, you’d rather be out there too. Aaron Snell emailed me these photos to prove it: Enjoy; I hope you’re out there. Regards, ncl

This morning Fitz and I had planned pre-work jaunt. What it turned into was nothing short of a full 8-hour day on the water, and we had a great time. We started early, in hopes of arriving at our spot just in time for sunrise. However, our attempted acquisition of pinfish (for snapper capture after…
