In Winter Get Out of the Boat and Rip Some Lips
Winter on Florida’s west coast means crystal-clear flats and prime sight-fishing. Step out of the boat, wade quietly, and get within casting range before fish even know you’re there. Leave the trolling motor behind, walk the flats, and go rip some lips.

The Water Haul: A Useful Cast to Master
In saltwater fly fishing a long (50-plus feet) accurate cast is often required to be successful at catching fish. This cast is called the double haul. The double haul is a wonderful cast once mastered and will make it possible for the fly angler to not only cast his or her fly to greater distances but also help when casting into the wind.
Mutiny on the Leslie Rae (1987): Murder Aboard a Florida Shrimp Boat
In July 1987, more than 20 miles off Cape Canaveral, a routine shrimping trip aboard the Leslie Rae turned deadly. A violent mutiny left the captain dead and a first mate fighting for survival in the open Atlantic. Nearly four decades later, it remains one of Florida’s most chilling maritime crime stories. 🌊
Winter Fishing In New England – No Shanty, No Problem! ❄️🎣
Our forefathers braved brutal winters with far less gear than we have today. Thankfully, modern ice anglers come prepared! With ice starting to form up north, hardwater season is almost here. Once it sets, target the shallows, vary your lure sizes, and match your bait to local forage. Who’s ready to get out on the ice? 🧊🐟Feb 17th, 2026
Winter Smallmouth Love River Pockets! ❄️
As water temps drop, bass move into slower bank-side pockets and back eddies where they can rest and let the current bring food to them. Target these areas with a hair jig, fish it slow along the bottom, and use light line for better sensitivity. Give each pocket 15–30 minutes — you might be surprised how productive winter fishing can be! 🎣Feb 16th, 2026
