I’ve been to a fair number of baby tarpon spots but I finally got a chance to spend three July days chasing them in Campeche, Mexico. Here’s a sample… 5:35 AM: The hotel van driver drops me off at the pier in total darkness. I’m a little worried ‘cause the […]
Car camping is when you throw your gear into the car and hit the road. Canoe camping is when you throw your gear into a canoe and hit the water. How about when you throw your gear into a modern jetliner and hit the sky? I’d call that air camping, […]
I watched the trailer for “Running Down the Man” and I was hooked. I like wading for bonefish. I like running for fitness. What could be better than sprinting down some beach after a large, exotic-looking roosterfish? After a fair bit of research, I booked a trip with Grant Hartman […]

I find myself reflecting on my first international fly fishing adventure. One of my biggest concerns going in was the safe transportation of my gear to my destination. My experiences traveling around the US and internationally playing hockey have taught me to expect the worst with any checked luggage. Countless […]
The 20 foot Maverick was immense. If I were a track and field official, I would have demanded a urine sample. Hanging off its back was a 200 horsepower Yamaha framed by twin trolling motors. “They do the work,” said my guide earlier. “The push pole is just for course […]
Here in the east, it’s been a mild winter, which has given anglers even more opportunities for cold-weather fishing. At the beginning of the month, I got a couple of days off from guiding for trout and working the shop here at Curtis Wright Outfitters in Asheville, NC and headed […]
