On The Water With Hobie
The difference between owning a nice kayak and making sure it is a fish-catching machine often lies in a few key after-market additions. If you are like me and often fish out of more than one Hobie model (I actually switch back and forth, as my Revo is easier to drag across the flats on extremely low winter tides), look to add Turbo Fins and a sailing rudder to traditional kayaks like the Revo and Outback.
Use Gold For Hatteras Reds
For an angler like me who was raised fishing freshwater lakes and rivers, fishing for redfish (Reds) offers a fine transition to saltwater angling.
The Redneck Invasion of South Africa
Naturally we were a little nervous to start with. Two redneck boys hopping a 16-hour plane flight to South Africa! Heck, Jamie and I had hardly ever been anywhere we couldn’t drive home from.

Inshore saltwater anglers and freshwater fly fishermen already know the value of fishing a lure on the surface with another suspended beneath. The bass fishing crowd can also take advantage of this technique.
A Fine Day Offshore
Monday, Memorial Day: Five people are traveling to Atlantic Beach to prepare for a Gulf Stream trip on the James Joyce II. The weather is looking very iffy. Capt. Troy Pate calls and inquires if we still want to go. He warns that the weather will prevent us from getting to the offshore locations he knows are holding fish. This information twists and turns inside as I think about the miles that some of our party have travelled to be here.
Bristol Bay Alaska- An Angler’s Dreamland Imperiled
Cast after cast, arm and shoulder grow weary from heaving a heavy sink-tipped fly line long distances across a wide expanse of rushing river. Lips crack from windburn. An angry red groove wears into the crease below the first knuckle on your right pointer finger. It’s where the fly line slides with each strip as you retrieve a 3-inch-long, heavily weighted version of a streamer called an Egg Sucking Leech.
Is Your Bait Domestic Or Imported?
You know you’re in for a great day when you break the inlet greeted by a slick flat calm ocean, hauling a livewell full of live pinfish and an ample amount of frozen minnows. If you grouper fish, you know this is the stuff dreams are made of.
Western Long Island Sound—Where Stripers Roam
Striper fishing my home waters of the Western Long Island Sound well over 100 times a year most often starts out the same way for me each time. I board my 25-foot Sea Fox and head out of the Mianus River in Cos Cob into Captain’s Harbor and points beyond.
Fleur de Lis Wins the 2026 Florida Panhandle Billfish Series
In a tight contest, Fleur de Lis came out on top to win the 3rd annual Florida Panhandle Billfish Series.
