As anglers were subject to the constraints of the tyrant named Mother Nature. She does what she pleases. We’re merely hostages to her moody behavior. Every now and then she’ll smile down and grant us passage on a picturesque day. On rare occasions she’ll string two or more blissful days […]

Brandon came in town to fish with me this past weekend. He picked the perfect weekend. Conditions could not have been better. On Friday we fished a numbers spot. I wanted to give him a taste of what the Upper Coast has to offer. The day started off a little […]
Austin gave me a shout Thursday evening to see if I had any plans for the weekend. His birthday was in a few days, so he wanted to celebrate like any avid angler wants spend their day of birth, on the water. My plans were to fish for the next […]
