On the Half Shell : Oysters are the jewels of the sea. Not only are they nutritious, they filter and clean seawater by inhaling tiny organisms, all while creating prime feeding grounds for three of South Florida’s favorite shellfish-eating gamesters- snook, redfish and sheepshead.
Degrees of Separation : Innovative Hull Designs and the Future of Boat Building from the Perspective of Two of the Industry’s Finest…
Dockominiums : Silly solution or ingenious investment? Throughout the Southeast, the marina industry is considered the most fragmented real estate entity that exists and is historically dominated by mom and pop type owners. Expenses associated with operating a working boatyard or marina in a heavily populated area like South Florida, have grown exponentially in the past 10 years.
Superbait! : If I were somehow limited to fishing with only one artificial lure, it would surely be the white bucktail. Whether skimming across the flats of Flamingo in search of snook, redfish and trout, deep jigging Palm Beach wrecks for grouper and back-breaking AJs, or scouting weed-lines off Miami in search of exciting blue water action with colorful dolphin, white bucktail jigs reign supreme.
Slob Slaying Southeast Style! : Enticing sizable grouper to eat your bait is one thing; emerging victorious from the brutal tackle-testing battles is an altogether different story. Check out how to gear up to get the job done!
Oblivious : “So, what’s the big deal with catching a five pound fish in five inches of water?” If you have to ask, you’ve never been bonefishing.
“There he is…Nine o’clock…Twenty-five feet. Nice fish headed right for us. Cast…Cast”
Blitz : Looking for a change of pace? Thinking about expanding your angling repertoire? Whatever the case - fly-fish the fall bait run for knuckle-busting encounters with many of Florida’s greatest game fish.
