    What Are You Eating?

    All this talk of moving made me hearken back to places I left long ago and I decided to make what used to be a South Georgia staple that I haven't enjoyed in years. Shrimp and cheese grits dressed with bacon bits and chopped scallions. I won't wait as long next time.

    Homemade risotto parmigiano with seared scallops and the perfunctory green accompanying accouterment.

    Favorite Sage Fly Rod

    With around 30 trips to Christmas Island I would guess my 789 RP has caught as many bonefish as any other single rod. Although not as easy to travel with being a two piece I still bring it anywhere I will be wade fishing for bonefish or redfish. It's a great rod for punching casts under the ever...

    What Are You Eating?

    Was that corn bicolor? Safeway up here in the sticks had great bicolor corn for a while but for the past week or so has had only the nasty white stuff that when chucked looks like an Arkansas dentists worse nightmare.

    The first Bottle Cap Derby

    Now there was a slap head moment. George Aiken was the grandfather of my best friend and ski team partner in high school in Montpelier. I remember one day hanging out with Burr at the family dairy farm we were in the barn and there was an old guy in filthy overalls mucking out some of the...

    NFR World Cup

    I have 4 successful adult children who grew up playing soccer starting at about 6-7. I have long been thankful for the lessons in teamwork, sportsmanship and selfless effort and humility that soccer instilled in them. It has served them well in life's challenges. You are certainly entitled to...

    Furthest Travel to Fish

    Did you get to fish the Sopachanaya or Utholuk? The Sopachanaya may well have been the best steelhead fishing that I have enjoyed. No dry line fishing but talk about bright and fresh fish right out of the salt.

    The dreaded ‘D’ word

    I really hope you have a good family experience. I spent about 4 years living in central Florida and had many visitors and relatives come to see us when we lived there. The ones who were most disappointed by their visit were the ones who ignored our advice and visited Orlando, a cultural and...

    The dreaded ‘D’ word

    If you go in the other direction you are about 90 minutes from the Homosassa/Crystal River area. Flats fishing for redfish, snook and speckled trout is the name of the game there. Spring and early summer used to offer world class tarpon fishing when I guided there but that fishery for a number...

    Yucatan - first Juvenile Tarpon trip

    There's no such thing as a bad tarpon regardless of the size. They all think they are really big. We used to spend time at Laguna de Tacarigua on the northern coast of Venezuela. In fact my friend Andy, of tarpon fishing fame, caught his first one there and it was he who was then the one who got...

    Most regrettably the time has come

    Probably a shame that the two of us are the only ones who know how good a story that is.
