Angler Hooks First Goliath Grouper on Florida’s Treasure Coast
The guide wore the worst poker face ever. His cautioning instruction was almost laughable. His wry grin totally gave away his hand. For a fleeting moment, and as line hopelessly disappeared into the tannin-stained water, the angler’s day passed through his memory the way a near-death experience flashes one’s life before his eyes. He almost—almost—wished he hadn’t tangled with that pre-dawn 100-pound tail-walking tarpon. He nearly regretted the two tackle-testing tugs of war against snook topping 30 pounds. He came close to wishing he hadn’t been compelled to cast a topwater plug into a raging school of daisy-chaining 40-pound jack crevalles.
Fishing the Chandeleur Islands in Style
It was about 2 am in the morning and the seas were rough. We were just rounding Ship Island, watching the Mississippi Gulf Coast sky line fade away.
Tiny Tuna at the Hooter off of Martha’s Vineyard
It was late August and I still remember the phone call like it was yesterday. My pal Capt. Corey Pietraszek called me up with an invite to fish the following day.

Hooking Blue Marlin in the Gulf off Venice, Louisiana
If you are saltwater fishing in blue water and live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast there’s two choices. Either you ride or drive to the blue water. Obviously, if the vessel is a sport fisher the choice has been made in advance, but if your boat can be trailered, well then I believe the term is road trip. In most cases, either way, the trip is going to cost about three hours of drive/ride time.
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Encounter off San Benitos Island
The 22 anglers who headed out aboard Captain Art Taylor’s Searcher out of Fisherman’s Landing for a late-September six-day Penn Fishing University long range adventure found tuna and yellowtail in abundance, along with dorado, and even a “once in a lifetime” encounter with a huge group of sperm whales.
