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.

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.

A 14-Year-Old’s First Sailfish

My name is Chasten Whitfield, I am a 14, I fish and I am a girl, so please don’t turn the page yet. This is an awesome story I think you will enjoy. It was day two fishing off Ft. Lauderdale on the Mark V with Mr. George Poveromo and Carl Grassi. The water was really calm, and most people say it has to be rough to catch a sailfish. Carl put a shiner on the hook and cast it out in the deep blue water.

Why Try Technical Diving?

Tec diving is obstacle-ridden and humbling, but can reignite a fading passion. It can leave you with a sense of accomplishment and a refined set of diving skills. It grants access to depths beyond recreational limits, where lesser-known shipwrecks and deep reefs lie, waiting to be explored.
