delay to my normal saltwater-switchover that religiously "used to" happen around tax day(April 15). Haven't been saltwater fishing since a trip or two in Feb. Achieving my '21 pb today could easily be my answer- L/l'g with gifted

undoubtedly, regardless the species, the ultimate skip-a-beat moment!! Yesterday, I planned a mostly 4 wt. fly-rod bream day, and surely it didn't disappoint...even staying a less than a 20 minute drive from home! Got some studly b/g>9",

of the world's most sought-after Seafood choices for the last 50 or more years! Today's post puts it into my own, personal perspective using Mr. Sac-au-lait as the featured fish o' choice. Decided to increase today's fish-catching, fun value,

my Primo modus operandi as easily substantiated in today's tally for Mr. Speck. Don't fret... as I also enjoy the multiple arsenal of rods of l/l'g & s/r'g- that typically puts the ratio of success in the angler's favor. But for me, give

becoming increasingly agitating, especially when you are more able to pick/choose your time/financial outlay. Yesterday, Sunday, is typically one of two days I prefer to Sumo-circle around. With Tuesday's guest outing in it's final countdown,

quite a title to explain/qualify, but here goes...Last week, I surprisingly crossed paths(after 10 years!) with an old friend/acquaintance from my pre-retirement career-commitment days. Truly is, no doubt in my mind, the Divine inevitabilities

I'm using to account for yesterday's visit to a lake I haven't fished for 8 years! I always enjoyed a decent level of success @Lake Woodruff gaining access from the Dexter/St. John's end of the lake. Yesterday, I chose to use the opposite

break my bones but Slabs will never hurt me! Feeling well enough to follow doc's orders to "take it easy" with some moderate, conservative stretching for these bruised ribs. Well with 2 rods "sticks"(moderate) one new

That's right, I got that blood disorder that occurs from the company and environment I've been unable, thankfully, to avoid. Don't know the medical terminology but the symptoms seem uncurable at this point, but I'll refer to it as Saltus maximus

Sometimes I just can't get enough...only fished from 12 - 6 and dropped in 5 recreational crab pots. Wind was W>30 mph and 4 fisherman all had thumbs down on their way docklands. 3 keeper trout out of 10 caught but managed a personal best

has been a stubborn habit I've had to deal with since learning, adapting to the well- shouldered combatants that swim in the St. John's waterways. Although the 31 degree, ice-covered windshield had me downshift to a comfortable, later, 2 hour

Set out to log in some more Withlacoochee apprenticeship hours today but as the morning progressed, unexpected, menacing clouds were making their way from the SW. Not bringing any raingear, I decided to carry on with business anyway. After

Not real interested in honing my fish-cleaning capabilities yesterday, but did have a laid back, late start agenda in mind. Did have some criteria in place however, to include some live bait presentation . Still using the skinny ultralight

Gotta love a State that declares our fishing obsession as essential activity! Enjoyed 2 days of "shopping" on the St. John's picking up a few things to fill my/neighbor's freezers. Single-sticking with home made skinny(1 new) artificials
