I’m Ron and I’m all about fishing. I try to fish with a different charter boat every week or two. My bottom line is this: “I will never recommend a boat I haven’t fished on.” If a captain and crew doesn’t perform to my satisfaction you are not going to see their name printed in my articles, period.

As many of you know, the Gulf Council has recently voted to have a fall red snapper season. Good news, eh? Yeah, I think so, but it could have been better.

Snowbird Creek, and its main tributary Big Snowbird Creek, are places fly anglers could spend days exploring and still leave water untouched. On its top end, Big Snowbird is one of the largest remaining flows populated with native southern Appalachian brook trout.
