Last fall I had the golden opportunity to take an amazing kayak fishing float down a section of the beautiful Chipola River in Northwest Florida. It is incredibly scenic, biologically diverse and fed by 63 springs. I had been dying to kayak fish it since my first...

The annual road trip to Tennessee in search of large smallmouth bass is one trip I keep in the back of my mind all year long. It is always full of laughs, hard work, and great fishing. And the end of each float, we are usually completely exhausted; so much so that a...

When I reflect about over this past season I have mixed emotions. There have certainly been trying times over the course of this year. Time spent on the water has been fewer and farther between than I would have liked. On the other hand it has given me a bit of...
