The sun slowly rises over the horizon as you sit on your patio sipping a delicious cup of coffee. You watch a variety of boats pull in and out of the dock out in front of your room as you listen to the hum of the motors. You find yourself with a variety of options for morning festivities as you walk down to the main hub of Pirates Cove Resort in Stuart Florida. Stuart is located along south eastern coast of Florida just a couple hours north of Miami and a short drive north of West Palm Beach. Pirates Cove Resort is tucked in to the harbor along Indian River. …

Battle Of The Bays Round 2- Event 1 Mission Bay Pre-Fishing
The Battle Of The Bays Round 2- Event 1, Mission Bay event takes place this Saturday. This is a bay bass event targeting barred sand, spotted sand, and calico bass. The event is put on by Coastal Conservation Association of California and well attended and supported by the fishing community. Last years event was a blast with over 50 anglers joining the tournament. Everyone fished from either a Kayak, Float Tube, or Stand Up Paddle Board. Conditions were tough last year as the wind really started to blow pretty early in the day. I was lucky enough to nab a nice Spotted Bay Bass that came in at 15.25 inches…

Chasing a Dream
If you are a die hard fisherman like I am, you probably have a bucket list fish that you have dreamed of catching. For me it was a big striped bass. This past week I had the opportunity to chase after that dream fish out in Tennessee with the guys from Tennessee River Monsters. The monster striped bass has been an elusive fish for me for some time. Living in Southern California we hear of the occasional monster, but they are few and far between. With lakes like Silverwood, Pyramid, Perris, Castaic and Diamond Valley in our backyard, we have ample opportunity. You’ll hear of fish over 20 pounds over…

Squish Jigs by Savage Gear Dominate the Bluefin Tuna Scene
Squish Jigs by Savage Gear have been dominating the local tuna scene. The Bluefin Tuna fishing off of the coast of Southern California has been incredible for the past few years. Heck, I’d say seasons, but it seems as if the fish have never left. The fish seem to be circulating around our local banks and islands. I’ve heard fisherman say that these are the years that we will look back on ten to twenty years from now and say, “those were the days.” And I don’t disagree. The bait that has really been getting these fish going is the Savage Gear Squish Jig. Half Squid, Half Fish, these little…

Savage Gear Suicide Duck at Lake El Salto Mexico
Last year I had the opportunity to get down to Lake El Salto to shoot some Suicide Duck footage with Shea from Stoked On Fishing and FLW and Okuma Pro Todd Kline. This was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. I have been down to the lake several times and it is one of my top bass fishing destinations. It is still pretty rugged, but an experience like no other. First of all, our trip started off great. Flights were on time, food was good, and the ride to the lake was uneventful. Raul picked us up at the Mazatlan airport, and off we went. We were greeted at the…

New Savage Gear High Rider Float Tubes
I recently had the opportunity to get out and test one of the new Savage Gear High Rider float tubes. In short, fantastic ride! These things are built to last. Strong, well constructed, and durable, with a well thought out layout. Let me start out by saying that i have had many float tubes over the years. My wife can attest, as they are or have been all around our garage, and even have fallen on our cars. I, like most float tube anglers, have moved over to the U-shaped float tubes. They are just easier to get in and out of, and I find a little easier to…

Steelhead Fishing the PNW
I had a really incredible chance to get up to Washington to fish with Cameron Black of Fishing Addicts Northwest. The weather has been very dry up his way, and the rivers were very low. Cameron called a couple of days before and asked if we’d be opposed to doing a drift trip on the skinny water in his inflatable. He mentioned we’d have to get out and pull the boat over rocks and around trees in a few spots, but the fish were there. I thought it sounded like a pretty incredible opportunity, so we took it. Okuma VP Sam Brenner, and I drove down from Seattle and met…

Kicking off the new blog
Very excited to kick off the new blog. I am lucky enough to travel the country for business and come across some pretty incredible sights. Some of them are truly spectacular and filled with beauty. Some spectacularly awful. I’ll do my best to keep my blogs light and fun.
