The Keys

A few months ago my good friend Jason Siler and I took a road trip to the Keys.  We went to hang out and fish with a friend of ours Capt. Dave Yoder.  Dave lives on Key Largo and knows his way around the entirety of the Keys. We spent several days fishing from Key Largo all the way down to the Marquesas. We had an awesome time hanging out and catching a few fish along the way.  We even caught up with "The Bear" on Big Pine.  The weather was a challenge most days but we caught an awesome slick calm day out in the Marquesas. We caught Tarpon, cudas and got shots on tailing permit. A Fine day.. 
If your heading down to the Keys look him up. He is a great guy and a hell of a fisherman. You can find Dave at http://www.saltwaterflyguide.com

We caught up with Bear in Key West. Big guys like green flops..

Kiddos

I've had several Kiddos on board lately.  It's awesome seeing these kids get fired up about fishing and learning about saltwater fly fishing.  I am always thinking about the future of our sport. We need to follow the lead of these guys and get them out there. Nice job Dads!

July Video Report

David Mangum shadowed me on a charter a couple days ago and worked his magic on a quick video report for SWE. He does a great job editing and making what we do look cool. Thanks David.

The Grind

Still Rollin' seven days a week.. Thank God the fishing is good.  Lots of storms and crazy conditions keeping each day interesting.

Mid July

Fishing overall has continued to improve.  A nice group of Albies came through a few days ago and made for a good time. Tarpon fishing remains slow. We are jumping a few fish but having to put our time in and work for the shots we are getting..

Bulls on Parade...

We had a great 4th. with family and friends. It was the first 4th of July I can remember being off. As for the fishing it has been hard to pattern. Tarpon numbers are slowly coming back after the storm.  When the conditions line up we have been whackin' Bull Reds on fly.  Everything else has been off. I predict an awesome rest of the month!

Curt from N. Georgia with a pig. 

Miles got this guy on foot. Very cool eat.

Justin from Kentucky with his first redfish.

Jim and Jimmy Barger enjoyed a couple of great days of redfishing.

Welcome to July!

Conditions have been less than ideal with the ton of  yoohoo colored freshwater. Bill Davenport came over from Austin Texas seekin' revenge on the Poon.  He had jumped but never boated a Tarpon on fly. We changed all that..  The fishing was slow but we capitalized on several shots jumping fish and finally boating a great fish. Congrats Bill!
