Monster Tarpon in the Florida Everglades
When my father approached me this past November with the idea of tarpon fishing in Florida, I was all ears. You see, a lifetime of angling (and a handful of forty and fifty pound stripers) has spawned within me an obsession to tangle with ever larger fish, and the tarpon holds a lofty position on the bucket list.
Charles and The Golden Dorado
This month’s favored fish is quite the acrobat, and, when hooked, spends almost as much time out of the water as in the water with incredible jumps as high as six feet in the air. It's a very odd looking fish with a blunt head and long body the colors of turquoise, bright green, yellow and blue, thus making it one of the most beautiful fish in the sea.
Spring Fling
Wow! Spring is finally upon us. Flowers are blooming, Spring Training bats are cracking and anglers are taking their kayaks out of storage and heading to the favorite honey holes. Life is good. To help get you prepared for the kayak fishing spring frenzy, I have recruited several of my Hobie teammates to provide a brief overview of their springtime tactics that have made them some of the most successful kayak anglers in the country. This grouping of helpful hints is brief, so if you have a topic that you would like to see expanded on please do not hesitate to let us know.
You Can’t Catch a Fish Without Bait in the Water
I am a strong believer in the title of this article, and with that being said, I will be talking about high speed trolling. I have had many trips start and/or end with a bang! If you run offshore to bottom fish and/or troll, it is not a bad idea to fish while you are running. The tackle is a little different for this high speed trolling, as well as the lures, but is one of the most productive ways you can hunt for wahoo.
Bonefish 101
The bonefish, considered one of the most often sought after saltwater game fish, is elusive, spooky, and fast, a ghost like fish that poses a real challenge to fly fisherman. It makes its home in some of the most beautiful tropic locations worldwide.
Don’t Think About This the Next Time You Go Fishing
Do you have Superstitions about fishing? Have you sold your soul to catch a fish? I posed that question to my fly fishing group and found it interesting that there were others out there that had the same beliefs. It may seem there is no basis for a superstition but if you go back in time or research things you may find the basis of it.That Lucky Old Sun
March heralds a transitional period on our inshore and offshore waters as the sun reaches the Equator and begins to enter the northern hemisphere. Longer days and stronger sunlight gradually warm these waters, causing many species of fish to migrate and become more aggressive in their feeding.
North Carolina’s Roanoke River Striper Fantasy
Some people have bucket lists for species of fish they target, exotic fishing destinations, or maybe they desire to fish with a celebrity or world-class angler. I was able to fill my bucket with a story that I will never forget, nor am able to, due to the camera onboard and a subsequent television show that captured the moment.
