Aitutaki Bonefish
Raw footage of my first every Bonefish. Caught on the 10th of Jul 2017 in Aitutaki, Cook Islands. Taken on my very first cast. You can't make this stuff up. This fish was followed by a 15lbs fish, and a 7lbs fish later that day. Unfortunately by then the battery had died - but check out my instagram for a picture of the 15lbs Bone. Epic fight. Also my first outing with a GoPro - so sorry if the footage is not quite what it should be. Thanks to our guide for the day, Tia from E2's Way ( who put us on the fish all day.

Aitutaki 2016
Here's a quick edit from our marketing fella's trip to Aitutaki way back in August. Fishing was definitely on the agenda but the main priority was the accumulation of Pina Colada's and relaxing pool times at the Pacific Resort. Still fun was had out for the day with Itu from E2's Way guides, ticking off a few trevally species and even more ass handings on the flats from some clever and strong bonefish. Strong winds and patches of rain made life interesting!

Stalking the Grey Ghost
South Florida is the undisputed sportfishing capital of the world. For many, bonefish are the ultimate catch. But the grey ghost and it's habitat are in trouble.

Headed out to the backcountry with Chuck and Fred. We usually fish on Fred's boat, but we decided to take Chucks Hells Bay and test out his new boats wiring. I played guide as we hit my favorite spots out back. Love working the platform...occasionally.
