Smallmouth bass fishing has really turned on this past week on the James River. Warmer water temps and tons of insects have the fish on the banks looking for their next meal. Caught several fish this week with beetles and other types of insects in their mouth. Not that you need to throw small flies [...]

Last year I was invited out to fish for false albacore off the NC coast. Fishing had been great from reports but like a lot of us bad luck follows us around. We were a day late and a dollar short, fish just seemed to vanish when we arrived. Thankfully the invite came again this [...]
When my client and friend Chris asked me if I wanted to go back to Louisiana, I didn't hesitate to say yes. The first trip down last December was unbelievable. I don't know how I got so lucky. I figured it would be a year or years before I would go back, not a month [...]

Heck of a start to vacation on Sunday. Jordan a friend of mine graciously poled me around NC marsh for 9 hours on the hunt for redfish. We found fish in just about every spot we looked. Right out of the gate I put the fly in front of two fish and when I saw [...]
