Adventures in Florida with the McKay Brothers: Morning of Day three

After a two hour ride from Naples to North Palm, the blue pool and cold Corona sounded very inviting. The boys took the ride to their advantage and slept most of the way. It is amazing they fly out of bed to go fishing, but takes us almost pulling them out of bed to go […]

Late Fall Adventures

I spent a week drifting one of Maine’s extended open water rivers to see if it was worth offering trips in late fall and the result was awesome. We averaged 20 fish a day, any where from 12 to 20 inch fish. I won’t lie, the weather was tough. It went from 45 degrees to […]
