Saltyshores Series: Boat Talk Confessions #1, Video

July 5th 2010

This is the first installment of the Saltyshores series of “Boat Talk Confessions”. It’s basically a video full BS that may or may not have any thing to do with Fishing. When the bite is slow and we run out of things to talk about, crazy stuff pops up. I just flip on the camera and start recording. Sometimes it is funny and sometime it’s too over the top. However almost all of the time it is super entertaining.

You can’t always get epic fishing footage but you can always get a bunch of good guys having a good time talking smack.

This is the video I got down in Miami with Honson and David:

Mosquito Lagoon

For the past couple of weeks some friends and I have been focused on a few schools of BIG redfish that have been roaming the grassflats of the world famous Mosquito Lagoon. Finding them was no problem, getting them to eat flies and artificials was another story. After hours of chasing these BIG fish, we would try to relieve stress on smaller singles that are more willing to take a fly(sometimes). I’ve tied up some different crab patterns to try out and they seemed to like a pattern I call the “mutant crab”. Here are some photos of the past weeks trips with Eddie Olivares, Sam Root, and Andrew Mizell.

Down South with Honson, David McCleaf, and Captain Frank

Junly 5th 2010

The last couple days I was fishing with Honson down south. Our goal was to get some Tarpon and bonefish on fly. The first day we had another friend David McCleaf with us. We tried to get on some Tarpon on the ocean side but the skies were not cooperating for us. They were overcast and visibility was almost one. We did eventually sport some rollers coming out way but getting the fly to them was another story. With the storms and wind building we packed it in right after lunch.

The second day we headed to the keys with Captain Frank, to do some bonefishing. The tide wasn’t the greatest but we eventually found lots bonefish on the flats. The only issue here is they did not hang around for vary long. We had a few decent shots and missed 2 on fly but no hook up. The eventually disappeared and did not return. Disappointed we made the run to the everglades. Frank poled us on some nice redfish opportunity. It was a bit frustrating at first with the winds low and they were somewhat spooky but we eventually got 3 to the boat.

I did get a 2 out of 3 eats on video. I’ll be compiling a quick clip for you entertainment. One fish we hooked in small creek got us all wrapped around a narrow passage way. Eventually after some drama we did caught up and landed him.

I shot o bunch of boat talk on the Kodak Playsport. I will call this series Saltyshores: “Boat Talk Confessions” along the line of the HBO series Taxi Cab Confessions. This is basically a Vlog of us talking BS on and off the boat about whatever pops into our head, just fun stuff nothing serious really. This will bring you to the action or non action as most of the time we’re talking the fishing is probably a bit slow. Regardless it makes for some interesting and funny video.
