We've fished north the last two times we've fished together but I wanted to show Steve another side of Amelia Island. We ran up the Nassau all the way to a dock that is under repair/construction and got there before the crew showed up to get in a bi...

The second half of March was a weather roller coaster ride. We had a cold front move through keeping the air temps in the 50's for almost a week and then tons of wind in the 20-25 MPH range and then it got slicked out with no wind on the last few days of the month. Throughout all this the fishing changed but generally remained good. The tarpon fis...

When identifying what and where trout are likely to be feeding so many Kenai River trout anglers make the mistake of assuming that these trout behave similarly to the trout they’ve experienced in other places.  In other creeks and rivers around the country & the world it’s common to focus on seams eddies foam lines […] The post Kenai River Trout F...

7 inches of rain. A major cold front and the lingering effects of redcrest. This week was all about adjustments. 80% of the lake got dirty and the water levels fluctuated daily. Monday we landed 37 but the effects of the rain were not in full force yet. Tuesday and Wednesday we landed 14 each day and couldn't get a bite until we found cl...

When summer calls, few destinations answer quite like Belize. Nestled along the Caribbean coast of Central America, Belize is a place where crystal-clear waters meet swaying palms, coral reefs teem with life just offshore, and the rhythm of daily life slows to match the waves. Whether you crave underwater exploration, open-sea fishing, or a qu...
