June Fishing
Fishing continue to be pretty good on the Mo these days. Not great, but good. After the drop in river levels last week, things have settled down a bit more and the fish seem to be finding their usual haunts. Now, we just need the bugs to do their part. But every day is a…

Crude Oil Spill on the James River, VA
Sad news coming out of Lynchburg, VA this evening. A train has overturned and dumped crude oil into our favorite musky waters, the James River. This river boasts a very healthy population of musky, not to mention the excellent smallmouth and striper fishing. We wish our best to our friends out in Lynchburg and the…

Spring Fishing on the Mo
Fishing continues to be pretty good here on the Mo. Not our best spring ever, but not too bad either. River flows continue to climb gradually, around 8700 cfs today. This is more water than we have seen in at least a couple of years. This has made the fishing a little different. Again, not…

April Fishing on the Mo
Had a great time the past few days with my crew from Missouri. Chuck had been out to fish with me last year. Apparently he enjoyed himself, because he came back this spring with a group of buddies as well. Fishing was pretty good the days they were here. We had to endure a pretty…

Islamorada

The Lower Keys
After a week in Boca, it was time to move further south down the keys. Key West was our place of residence for the next month. We spent most of our days cruising up and down the lower keys looking for fish, food, tiki bars and any other sort of entertainment we could find. The…

Flying South
After a nice long summer, followed by some November pike fishing, then a little more fishing on the James River for musky, I was more than ready to be warm again. Maybe it was the musky fishing in single digit weather? Or maybe just the fact that flip flops are way better than wearing “real…
