I read a lot of books, articles and webpages about permit and bonefish before leaving for my first trip to the tropics.

One thing I heard from many different sources is that once you start to fish for permit it will consume you. I tried to use the same dumb reasoning that pot heads use about…

i try to spin at least a few bugs every day. but once in awhile i’ll go on a more intense bender. wake up and sit down with blurry eyes and terrible breath to tie at least a few before i have coffee. then it’s make a pot and get back to it. the materials pile up all over the desk and i’m…

bonefish addiction

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:38:04 -0400

for some reason, lately i’ve been thinking a lot about going fishing for bonefish. there is something really amazing about fishing for these guys. i think 90% of it has to do with the locations and the flats themselves, as i had just as much fun fishing for triggerfish, sharks, barracuda, on the flats, as i did for bonefish. but for some reason the bonefish are stuck in my mind.

i’ve been checking out potential places for a baby-moon and of course they all revolve around the potential opportunity to wade flats and fish for bones during “nap time”. i’m probably kidding myself that there will be such a time, but i’ll keep day dreaming.

in my web-surfing i’ve been checking out the destinations that flycastaway guides to. the two that look incredible (and incredibly expensive) are st. brandon’s atoll and farquhar atoll. i clearly need to figure out my web 2.0 business that will allow me the fund these two trips.

or i just need to befriend this anderson family and figure out how to piggyback on their trips (video below).

enjoy

celebrity fly fishing - ashton kutcher

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 12:47:51 -0400

we have another celebrity fly fishing related post, this time it includes ashton kutcher, the new guy on cbs’ two and a half men.

the story from gawker is that ashton broke out a laptop that was covered in stickers from companies that he has invested in, and was using it around the set of the show. there are the more notable tech start ups like flipboard, foursquare and hipmunk, but ashton has devoted a lot of real estate to the hatch reels sticker in the top right.

i’m not sure if he’s an actual investor in hatch, or if he just digs their gear (he did recently go fishing). but its great to see the fishing industry getting spotted in more mainstream channels.

i had wanted a hatch reel for a long time, and finally got one and took it down to belize this summer. the thing is bomb-proof and will definitely last a lifetime. they are a bit on the heavy side, but i’d rather have that and have it last for a 100 years than be on the other end of the spectrum. definitely check them out.
