Chad Agy, Fishwest Ambassador and his friend Brian set off on a remote float trip adventure last August. One that not only made memories for a lifetime, but one that left them with a startling experience. Enjoy continuing to read their experience in, The Alaska Chronicles – Don’t Mess With […]

If you’re reading this, you’re probably planning on or considering taking a saltwater trip somewhere, so congratulations!

(It’s not just about the Palometa….) Earlier, I wrote about my experience at Tarpon Caye Lodge, which is a permit-focused operation in the cays of southern Belize. There was a lot more going on there than just permit. I spent a week there in August and fished permit hard every […]
