I had a good hunch about the place I fished yesterday. Twice I came close to connecting to proper roosterfish but it didn’t quite happen. Today I had Grant and Sammy drop me off on the same beach. In my experience great catches come after a few close calls. The pursuit builds up then happens. … Read more
I took the last antibiotic for my tooth yesterday. The pills fixed the infection but the side effects were adding up. I was feeling much like this poor deceased turtle. But today I awoke feeling so good that Sammy, Grant and I crushed some breakfast burritos in Todos Santos then bought some beer and got … Read more
It was a strange start today in South Baja. We awoke to distant flashes of lightening and far away rumbles of thunder. The cloudy skies around us let loose and fed the desert with scattered rain showers. Rain in South Baja in May is about as common as seeing a whale shark off the beach … Read more

Along was friend Michael Williams who put this whole speaking/fishing tour together for … Read more
It’s the last leg of my speaking tour winter 2016 and find myself in Georgia with a severe tooth ache. I came down with radiating face pain while carping last week and attempted to resolve the ailment Friday with my dentist. After all his tests nothing showed up. Naturally, the next day I bit down … Read more

Most our tailwaters such as the South Fork and Lower Henry’s Fork are fishing well but boat traffic is thick. Instead of … Read more
