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 [...]
I will be returning for my third trip to Turneffe Flats Lodge during the week of October 27-November 3, 2108 .

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 [...]
Fresh off the plane from Belize and I stepped into 30 degree temps and snow. Quite the welcoming home I would say. Regardless how the weather is here, it was wonderful on the Turneffe Atoll last week. My second trip back to Turneffe Flats Lodge did not disappoint. Warm temps and eager fish awaited my [...]
When I answered my phone back in July from an old friend, I wasn't expecting the opportunity to fish for peacock bass in Brazil. Ever since I was a little boy and saw peacock bass for the first time on a TV show, I have had the itch to fish for this exotic fish. I [...]
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 [...]
I had the most incredible birthday this week. A few months ago I received a phone call from one of my best clients, Kool Uncle Kenny. Ken asked me if I would like to go with him to New Orleans to fish the Louisiana marsh for the chance at a redfish over 20 pounds. Without [...]
