Blue Fins and All… (Pt. II)

December 28, 2000 Today I’ve decided not to go fishing. Instead thought I’d merely practice casting. There is a small flat a few minutes from home that’s perfect for this—shallow water, wide open spaces, and no mangroves to grab errant back-casts. I’d even occasionally seen bonefish there, but not today; today, it was just practice. [...]

Blue Fins and All… (Pt. I)

December 28, 2000 The year is almost out and I’m faced with the very real prospect of having fished nearly all of it without catching a single one. And I mean fished, seriously fished.

Unbelievable, right? What a way to start the day! Ok, so here’s the (super boring) story. A few months ago I ran across [...]

Amateur Bones…

A little video one of our guests cooked up on a recent trip to our little rock. (Yes, we actually get people wanting to fish with us… yeah, we don’t get it either, but it keeps the bartenders happy!) Just to be clear, this was on his own after a little bit of guiding from [...]

Indian Ocean Chronicles: Day XVII

12-Weights and Boats Barjack the Angler 12-weight Purgatory Reef Indian Ocean March 12, 2011 Day 17, So I’ve done a lot of riding my bike around and standing with a 12-weight looking for trevally. Good work if you can get it, but I feel the need for a change. Today I think I’ll get in [...]
