Pmac and I debated a bit on going or not because of the rain forecast, I’m so glad we made it work. He ended up with an inshore slam even though the tater chip flounder was a bit small. I think the jumbo speckled trout made up for it. Another fantastic day on the water. The flies were a spawning shrimp and gravity minnow from Community Fly Supply

Disclaimer: this doesn’t happen often, so don’t set this as your expectations when fishing with ANY fishing guide. Can it happen? Absolutely, but it’s not the norm, and therefore exceptionally special when it does. Yesterday, Cavin Andy Prince and I went looking for Tripletail, but needless to say, we got a little distracted 😂. Great day with some great dudes. Flies were the swamp donkey popper, tarpon bunny, and scrambler from Space Coast Flies / Community Fly Supply

Parker and his wife Taylor joined me this morning. We dodged rainstorms and introduced them to a new addiction. They are cold water trout anglers from Arkansas, and were thrown into the fire with tricky redfish, but Parker made it happen. Then, I was forced to fulfill my promise to a really demanding client of mine (my 9yo Brooks Lee) to take him night fishing one last time before school starts back up. While also celebrating my Dads 71st birthday in between. 4am to midnight days are long, but man are they FULL. I cannot express how blessed I feel, sitting here at half past midnight reminiscing on a day, where I got to introduce a young couple to my favorite thing on the planet, celebrate my father, and catch countless dinks with my fishing addicted son. Life is short, spend it doing what you love, with the ones you love. Thank you all SOO much for your business, and your support. All the fish on fly today were caught on the Space Coast Flies marsh rover from Community Fly Supply, and it’s the absolute best place to stop in if you are interested in getting started in throwing chicken feathers and rabbit fur at your favorite fish.

I’ll be honest, I struggle to keep up on social media. But here’s a lil photo dump of what’s been happening in lower Alabama lately. A mix of clients, family, and friend from the last 2 weeks. The fishing has been weird this summer, due to the amount of fresh/dirty water. We’ve had to pivot and try some Hail Mary type stuff. I have seen signs lately though that it’s starting to clear up, and the fish are getting happier. Don’t let poor conditions or reports keep you from getting out there. Try something different, and keep hunting. Sometimes it pays off, and makes for an epic day on the water.

Matt and his son Liam stuck this big boy sight fishing the marsh this last week. We also made a bunch of casts at stubborn Tripletail. The water is slowly looking better, and fishing should be getting hot.

justinneedsasnack and I have been chatting vans and fishing for a couple of years now, and finally got a chance to fish together. Bite was tough most of the day, with redfish following, and then turning away, or not interested at all. It was frustrating, but, on the final drift, this monster slurped the Marsh Rover from Space Coast Flies / Community Fly Supply on a TFO Rods - Temple Fork Outfitters Moment 7wt. It then dragged us to the beach where we had a crowd of spectators. Great way to end a day.

I’m sitting here this morning, drinking my coffee, and reporting Tags that we stuck in fish for Dauphin Island Sea Lab. I’m also reflecting on the past few days of practice and fishing the Tripletail Classic. Last year we learned what not to do, but this year, Andy Prince Cavin and I actually put the work in, to find fish the week before tournament day, and it paid off. We ran 3 different skiffs, in 100 different directions over the 3 days leading up to tournament day. We weren’t in the top 3, but from last year’s tie in last place, we were thrilled with 6th place out of 37 teams this year. We all learned a ton about these awesome fish, and I’m excited to fish it again next year. Thanks to all the sponsors, especially Community Fly Supply for letting Andy, Cavin, and me represent the shop.

What a weekend. Had an absolute blast, camping with my mini-me, chasing him around the trail, but I found time to sneak away on a different trail, and find a few fish. Matt once said in my boat “ my favorite fish to catch, is the one on the end of my line”. And that’s how this little getaway was, no giants, nothing prestigious, but time away, in an absolutely beautiful location. What a fun weekend, watching my boy race, and a nice change of scenery.
