Its only been a few days since landing back in the U.S. from my favorite fishing lodge, Turneffe Flats in Belize. This was my third hosted trip to the lodge. I hosted 6 anglers and one diver this past trip. It was a incredible trip for me and all my guest. Some anglers caught their [...]
Its been about a week and half since I landed back in the US of A from Manaus, Brazil. I was on my second trip to the Amazon with Nomadic Waters but this time I was hosting 9 anglers to this amazing place. It was a incredible trip, so in incredible that my group of [...]
Watching the rain fall today as hurricane Florence approaches closer to Virginia. We really got lucky, with the early forecast saying it was going to drop feet of rain not inches. Looks like we might get a inch or two from the passing storm now. Hopefully it moves through quickly or all together misses us, [...]
September is here and unfortunately its the last month for topwater action for smallmouth. Summer cicadas will start to die off along with other insects as nights get cooler. So far not showing any chance of cooling off yet. The hot weather has returned and looks to stay awhile longer which will prolong popper fishing! [...]
Its been a crazy weather year for sure. Dodging deluges and finding fishable water has been hard to do the past couple weeks. Luckily the past storms didn't knock me off the water to long. Virginia has so many good smallmouth bass rivers I was able to get on the water most days. Fishing topwater [...]
July has flown by but for good reason. I have been on the water 17 days this month and more to go. Fishing has been up and down and a lot of thats due to the weather. High barometric pressure seems to be the culprit. I have never really paid much attention to the pressure [...]
Finished the month of June on Virginia's best smallmouth bass rivers. The James, Staunton, and Maury rivers fished well when they weren't high and dirty. Its been a struggle to stay on the water last month but luckily between those rivers I found fishable water. I had a few anglers get their personal best [...]
We are a couple days from the official start of Summer. It has been a month since my last blog post and I apologize for slacking off. It was a very wet Spring and I had to cancel 25 trips the past two months. Weather has been good for the past couple weeks now and [...]
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 [...]
