When fishing consistently, especially if you are a guide, it is super important to journal. The advantages of this is that you save yourself from forgetting a spot, and you might be able to plan vacations due to your journal about what the conditions were like when the fishing was on. I am a huge advocate for journalling about where and when you found some fish and being able to track them down over and over again because you wrote it down.  When I first started out journalling I was very attentive to details and tried to document everything. The issue is that with guiding, meeting with clients, spending time with family, cleaning the boat and more it was hard to find the time to journal and I quickly began to put it on the back burner. Luckily Simon Becker shared some tips with me about quick and pertinent information I need when journalling. I would use the Florida Sportsman Tide Charts and document my notes on them. Here are the 4 things I would recommend you note: Date Time of Day Location (GPS coordin

This week I had the chance to sit down with Dale Luginbill of FullScale Outdoors podcast to talk about a number of controversial issues going on in Florida right now. The first of these is the debate on harvesting Goliath grouper. We dig into the positives and negatives of a harvest and expression our opinions. We also discuss the red tide that is taking place in Tampa Bay right now. Is it natural, or something that we have caused. We discuss all of this in today’s show.  WIN A FISHING VACATION AT HAWKS CAY!

I got a question here asking what are the top 5 ways to be successful as a fishing guide. I am going to start at number 5 and work my way up, I’m sure if I got together with some other guides we could come up with way more, but here are my top 5:  5. Be professional - I wish when I started out that I understood that being a Fishing Guide was a business and that I treated it as such. I thought it was something I would do for a summer and didn’t think of it as a place of business where I needed to show up in a professional manner and be professional with my customers. There are very high profile people with plenty of money but little time. You are trusted with their most valuable asset and you should present yourself professionally. With this in mind marketing is very important and I wish that (if I could go back) I would have studied more marketing in school.  4. It’s not the biggest or the most - success as a fishing guide is not that you catch the biggest or the most fish. The most important thing you can

Next week is ICAST and you are welcome to join me to complete our summer challenge for next week together!

Nick Davis is a fly tying expert and is also the owner of the 239 Flies shop in Bonita Springs, Florida. Nick sent me some tarpon flies that I have been using this year, so we go over some of the flies that he sent, and also learn about Nick’s new shop. We dig into the argument of synthetic vs. natural material with fly tying, and even though this may sound boring as hell, you’re not going to want to miss this one.
