Yo,

Give me a call, 239-287-2341, and I'll get you in touch with the boys.

I used to own an 8wt. but I gave it away. It can be used, but if you want all around saltwater fishability, get a 9. Get as much of a reel as you can, especially for the albies as they tear ass.

just start driving south

fisherone,

I would say that 90% of the fish in this area never make it to the reel. Sometimes this makes for a challenge from a line management perspective, but it also makes for a fun tug o' war. ...

Ft. Lauderdale is a great place to fish out of as you have 1hr driving access from Biscayne Bay, Miami peacock bass sport, and Everglades City. I think your best bet this time of year will be the eve ...

I can't comment about their wading jacket, but the cloudveil jacket I just bought for this trip we are on to LA, blew its zipper on the 2nd day I had it. Otherwise, I love the jacket!

There are so many different fish, techniques, casts, presentations, flies, rods, reels, lines, boats, etc. that make up our sport. In many cases, in order to catch a fish on a fly rod, one needs to a ...

Chris,

I wish I could meet you somewhere and teach you exactly what to do, but since I live in FL, that won't happen. Instead, let me know what you are interested in learning, and I can help you t ...

If you mean "gap" by the two pieces don't push all the way together, then this is ok. Orvis rods usually wear in, and this is the way they are supposed to fit.

Capt. Kevin took us out at 5:30AM the morning after he got home late from a 2 week honeymoon. Having not been on the water in 2 weeks usually means that you are gonna end up driving the boat around f ...

I did not mean to imply that the "stereotypical" shot is by any means a negative thing, just that creativity is what makes certain footage better than others, and I'm putting emphasis on tha ...

Like a lot of us, I am on the water a lot, with a lot of different people. Everybody seems to have their own way of handling fish and filming them, some more harmful than others. Some like to make s ...

It is true Jeremy, I couldn't resist, saw a good window of weather, and booked a ticket yesterday. It sounds like a really special place, although I believe I have no idea what I'm getting myself int ...

I'm not too sure that St. thomas is the place for do it yourself inshore fly fishing. What are you looking to do exactly, and why did you choose St. Thomas?

I've heard there is some good urban tarpon fishing there, but have no personal experience in that area.

down here in south florida, I catch most of my reds on mullet patterns. Muddlers, woolheads, and Puglisis. I have caught some on merkin patterns, redfish candy, and various shrimp patterns with some ...

They are not too difficult to tie, but aren't exactly easy. The secret is to use many applications of the ep fibers, but make sure that each application is very sparse. The less the better. Then ju ...

Depending on the tarpon's mood, they might eat white bait, mullet, shrimp,and/or crabs. In the keys they will even eat worms...palolo worms. I think your decision for a night fly will be easy, and w ...

Q: Whats that under the bush?

A: Too late, your fly shoud already be in its mouth.

Wow, what a way to break yourself in....Belize! Where are you going in Belize? My advice for you is that it all happens really fast. The fish are almost always on the move, and the wind blowing. D ...

It looks like I'm heading to CO. on the 27th for a few days on the water. I have some lodging and a car alraedy lined up, and was wondering if anybody would like to join me. Let me know, the fish ar ...

Alexis,

I have fished a bunch on the mitzi 15 and 17 tunnel hull. For the money these boats are great, no bells and whistles just a fiberglass hull that will go really skinny. The only negative t ...

a 7/8 should be ok, but I definately prefer a 9wt. as far as flies go, its kind of hard to tell this early in the game, but light colored flies will imitate the white bait that will most likely be ...

well thats down near me, and close to boca grande. Bring a tarpon rod as there might be a few big ones left around, and possibly accessable from the beach. what dates u coming down?

I have done a small amount of internet research, and it seems like there are bonefish in Aruba, although its not filthy with them. I would love to hear about the experience there, and if you learn a ...

Yeah that was a sweet trip, can't wait to do it again. But I don't know, those winters are brutal, and I have a lot of respect for those who survive it.

From some recent writings and discussions recently encountered on fliesandfins.com, it definately sounds like the winter blues are in full force. Daydreams or nightmares or whatever you want to call ...

September is one of my favorite months to fish, especially for trout. September is also a popular month to get married in. So when my friend Leighton asked me to be the best man at his wedding in Lo ...

Well as most of you know i may have a few bad habits when it comes to fishing downtime. But I can't beat a mountain dew and a vicodin or two.

of all of the fishing that I have done, I would say that overall fishing dry flies for trout is by far my favorite. its a shame that the nearest trout is close to 1000 miles away.
