Hoot X

What happens when you gather an eclectic gang of bug slingers on a desolate beach outside the reach of cell signals and wifi connections (but not park rangers) for a camping and fishing excursion? Fish are caught. Alcohol is consumed. Lies are told. And live music is played around a […]

Fly Swap

Fly Swap
I’ve spent plenty of time away from the water lately due to the wind and weather, so I finally got a chance to spend some time behind the vise. Here’s a redfish pattern I tied up for a fly swap I entered. The pattern is a hodgepodge of many of […]

Bucket List Destinations

I had a bunch of free time over the cold, wet, and windy weekend. During breaks between tying flies and editing footage I browsed the interwebs. I stumbled across a awesome flick from a group of guys that invaded the Everglades last month via kayaks and what supplies they could […]

Here’s a cool kayak T-Shirt by West End Anglers, especially consideriong there aren’t very many kayak-related tees on the market. They used one of my photos for the design and I think it came out great. Quantities are limited to 45 shirts because this is a test run. Details on […]

When I think of Louisiana a few things quickly come to mind: casinos, Mardi Gras, Cajun food, and thousands of acres of ripe estuaries. No place in the US boasts more marshland than the Louisiana Delta. The Delta is a creation of the many creeks and rivers that dump their […]

Jason, Mark, and I spent a few days in Matagorda, Texas last week fishing several new areas. Fishing started off slow in the mornings but we managed to catch a decent number of trout late in the day on topwaters. All of our fish were in the 16-20″ range. We […]
