It has been a mixed species bag this month. Striped bass fishing in Weldon, NC is still going strong. The numbers of stripers is incredible to see each year this run happens. A lot of fish in the 15-20" range but we did break through all the males and got a healthy female in the [...]
Its been a interesting Spring to say the least. Two large rain fronts a week apart last month kept me sidelined from the striped bass run on the Staunton River. The rain didn't only affect the Staunton, it had creeks, rivers, branches, tribs, you name it busting at the seams all over the state of [...]
Well Punxsutawney Phil wasn't joking when he didn't see his shadow. The past two weeks has felt like March not April. Fished in the snow two days last week. It finally seems like Spring has finally sprung and plans to stick around this time. Temps in the 70's and 80's the past few days. The [...]
Spring is finally here even though it has felt like January the past two weeks. A couple snowstorms and cold temps have kept the water temps cold. Today reached 74 degrees so I'm hoping the temps below 50 are done. Looking forward to green grass, leaves, and flowers from here on out. Trout fishing has [...]
In the world of musky fishing, musky hold all the cards. They decide who is going to be a hero or a zero. Some clients catch one on their first try, others grind it out till it happens and I believe a lot just give it up. Musky fly fishing is not for everyone and [...]
Virginia went from drought to flood in a snap. Rain from earlier this month really helped the remaining pre spawn bite for musky. With flows higher and water clarity being green, musky do not have as much time to think about wether to eat or not. Over the past five guided trips we have had [...]
I will be returning for my third trip to Turneffe Flats Lodge during the week of October 27-November 3, 2108 . Joining me on a hosted trip is a great way to take the guesswork out of traveling to a new destination for the first time. You’ll get to meet like-minded travelers and take advantage of special discounted rates. [...]
Winter is getting closer to being over and it brings a smile to my face. It was a unusual Fall and Winter. Really low flows and crystal clear water made my muskie season a lot tougher than normal. We are in one of the best months now to catch a musky with the pre-spawn bite. [...]
The three weeks of arctic air has ended! The past few days have been in the high 50's or low 60's. That was a long cold spell and just when I thought the rivers would be free of ice, it would get in the teens at night again. Good news we have had some moisture [...]
Happy New Year! 2017 was a great year for fishing and I thank everyone for keeping my boat floating. The new year was brought in with cold temps. Yesterday morning was 5 degrees and the daytime high was 25. It looks like we have about 5 more days of temps below freezing. The streams and [...]
