Day 5 – Bound for the Scuba
It was an early morning when we woke up to head to the airport to catch our flight to Sudan. I met Mike in the lobby for breakfast and we caught a ride from our go to taxi driver Sair, who had now become our friend. This was the start of something. It was a […]
Day 4 – It’s just something you feel
After a somewhat rowdy night (Middle Eastern standards) I was able to sleep in a bit this morning, which was necessary as I had now developed some sort of sinus infection due to the constant dust and dirt in the air, combined with the 110 degree consistent day time temps and the air conditioning everywhere. […]
Day 3 – Arabian nights
We were up early again on our third day in paradise. Mike and I are not used to arabian corn flakes for breakfast so we ate leftover sausage and lamb chops and guzzled a few cups of coffee, a true champions breakfast. We hit the water again trying to beat the early morning heat. It’s […]
Day 2 – When the Sailfish swam at me with his mouth open
I was so excited to hit the water again after all that insane topwater action from yesterday. Combine that with Jet lag and yup you guessed it, I didn’t sleep much. It was ok though, as our guides were meeting us for breakfast at 4 am. I woke at 3, organized my photography gear, packed […]
Day 1 – The straits of Hormuz
Day one started off with a blast and boy I love traveling. The madness of the airports where everyone is somebody for a minute, the whole world is there at your fingertips if only for a second. Like when I had a layover in Paris don’t think for a second I’m not going to drink […]
Carp tails
I’m up here at 30,000 feet flying over the North Atlantic listening to Bob Marley. I’m headed to one of the most incredible places (so I’m told) for chasing fish on saltwater flats. In 12 hours I will step foot in Dubai for the first time followed by Oman and finally ending my trip in […]
Cutty’s creek
I just walked in the door from a fishing trip with Neil Chamberlin, Scott Smith, Ben Brennan, and Chris Doeberl. All good fishing mates from over the years. We had an awesome time with many big fish caught, elk burgers demolished, cuban cigars smoked, and yes many beers downed. We were planning on fishing two […]
Snake River Report
Scott Smith Paul Frank and I had an incredible day floating our favorite Snake River section yesterday. I had a whole list of shit to get done before my upcoming fly fishing trip to Sudan, Oman, and Dubai but when Scott called me at 7 am of course I said yes let’s go fishing. The weather […]
He offered me the universe
I’m sitting here in the Queenstown airport sipping on a Steinlager. I’m worried my flight won’t make it in tonight as the flight before mine was canceled and the weather in Queenstown continues to look ominous. Oh well it’s not something I can control so I’ll kick my feet up and tell a story about […]
The fish of a lifetime
I will keep this quick as I’m literally packing up the van and heading to Christchurch to watch my friends compete in the New Zealand clay shooting championships. I just had another once in a lifetime fly fishing experience and caught the brown trout of a lifetime! I will write about it soon, for now […]
