As anglers, we’re always analyzing our environment while fishing. One of the most consistent observations, especially when sight fishing for saltwater game fish, is just how many crabs you encounter.

Most anglers identify South Andros as a huge expanse of wadable flats around the southern and southwestern tip of the island: Flats filled with large schools of uneducated bonefish in the 2-4 pound range eager to eat flies.

Over the past 25 years, more of our anglers have landed permit on the fly in Mexico’s beautiful Bahia de la Ascension than all our other permit destinations combined! We have our theories, but the fact remains, Ascension Bay permit will eat a fly more readily than Trachinotus falcatus in any other fishery we’ve experienced. The peak months for this […]

I loved visiting South Andros for the second time to explore its fishing lodges. I saw and fished with virtually every lodge there including the remote Mars Bay on Andros’s southern-most tip.

Belize is a great destination for anglers traveling during the summer months due to its neo to sub-tropical climate, whose daytime temperatures only vary between 10 – 15 degrees over the course of a year. This consistency makes the fishing in Belize fairly predictable, as well as productive, each month of the year. The following […]

For those of you planning an Atlantic salmon trip this summer, here’s a tip from Doug Schlink you might enjoy. Adult, mutli-sea-winter (MSW) Atlantic salmon fish can be captured by hand tailing.

As a travel agency specializing in international fishing travel, we’re regularly asked how to travel with fishing tackle.

Also, despite not fitting […]

A great example comes from a group of ours that just got back from Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn, Acklins Island, Bahamas. There is something special about Bahamas bonefishing that isn’t found wading a flat or casting to tailing fish. The charm and arms wide open welcome of the Bahamas is even more apparent in the […]

We think bonefish are special too. Here’s why Dick Brown thinks so: “Why bones are special—The bonefish is the nearest thing there is to a perfect gamefish for fly-fishing anglers. A voracious predator, it readily (but warily) takes flies. It accelerates faster and sprints farther than any other fish you take on light tackle. It […]

We really like the “half again” leader formula – it’s easy to remember, turns over bonefish flies nicely, and can be easily adjusted to fit a variety of conditions. Especially for Bonefishing, we find that the simpler the leader the better. The “half-again” leader starts with a long butt, then half again, half again. For […]

It’s common knowledge among traveling anglers that January and February are the most popular time to visit New Zealand. Mostly to escape the winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
