Time to Rock: Bottom Fish Basics For years, bottom fishing has been a staple focus of coastal fishermen looking to load their freezers with excellent eating table fare. The innovation of braid and smaller, more efficient reels, has made this fishery a lot more enjoyable for the average angler. In the past 20 years we have went from fishing heavier, bigger reels with larger glass rods that made the entire experience one of fighting your tackle more than the fish to the...
Go Fly A kite? Todays fisheries see increased boat pressure, more anglers looking for the fish of a lifetime, and fisheries we have not seen exist in our lifetime reemerging, people are looking for ways to increase their percentage for bites. With all these factors staring us right in the eye the emergence of the kite has been accepted with open arms especially here on the West Coast for the big Bluefin that have shown up in the last 3...
Twins with the Prize. Anglers worldwide consider fishing in Panama as a bucket list entry and for those who have experienced it understand why. The journey to Panama city from Miami, Houston, or Los Angeles is a direct flight that is between 4 and 6 hours depending on the airport.

This is when anglers can search out their favorite product manufacturers, new products to the market, and learn some of the cutting edge techniques from regional fishermen in the know.

Most of us can truly understand the concept of the right tool for the job, but do we always follow it? I am sure many of you (me included) have used a butter knife as a screwdriver, or anything other than a hammer to bang in a nail. We know there are the right tool for those jobs, but we use what’s on hand or what’s convenient; the silverware drawer is closer than the tool box, right? I know I...
Duane Diego with a nice Bluefin Tuna the result of working with his small network I have a scheduled tuna charter tomorrow. I should be prepping rigs, checking the drags on my Accurates and readying boat right? Instead I am doing something MUCH more important, I’m on the phone. Having all your gear ready and baits prepped is important, but not as important as WHERE you are going to put them in the water to catch. it’s a big Ocean out...
Cubera snapper smiling for the camera It's been twenty four hours since I got back from the most epic week of fishing yet. When I close my eyes I can still hear the drag screaming, the triumphant and celebratory hoots and hollers, and the sounds of billfish slicing the cobalt blue waters of Costa Rica. We headed down to Los Suenos via JFK airport and by 1:30pm we were settled into our gorgeous condo in Los Suenos. The first day we planned...
When fishing for Fluke (Paralichthys dentatus) or Flounder depending where in the United States you are located it all boils down to determining what techniques and baits you should use at your given location. In NJ our waters are teeming with Fluke in water depths that range as shallow as 3 feet of water to as deep as 90-100 feet of water with water temperature playing a vital role in finding these beautiful flatfish. Contrary to what most anglers think of...
Accurate visits Norway the land of the Goliaths. A few years back I was fortunate enough to be invited on a trip to Norway with Sportfishing Magazine. We have a Pro Staff guy in Tromso Norway Per Jonasson, who has told me for a while about stories of giant halibut over 400 pounds being caught up in the north land so with an invite from a friend we traveled up to see what we could catch. My crew included Doug Olander and...
