Spent the morning with Craig Mauritz of Pennsylvania today. He had only caught a few beach Snook before, so I was anxious to put him on fish. The conditions for the first couple hours were not very good (dirty water and waves), but he stuck a few blindcasting a plug. As I thought, conditions finally improved mid-day and he had some great sightfishing. Craig ended up with around a dozen fish landed, including his first Snook on fly and a few more lost. Nothing big, but who cares when youre sightfishing! Action slowed around the time we left, as the sun was high and tide lowering quickly. I had a great time w/ Craig and hope to see him again sometime!

Bio: Growing up and living most of my life in California's San Francisco Bay Area, I took to fishing at a young age. I started off fishing at local piers and lakes around age 10, eventually branching out into other venues and getting more and more serious about the sport as time went on. I took up flyfishing while in middle school, thus beginning a new passion. Moving to Florida in 2002 opened up a whole new world of angling to me, which I strived to learn and understand as quickly as possible. I have a lot of experience in a vast array of fishing techniques; from dropshotting for Bass in 40 feet of water, to flyfishing mountain streams, to Snook on the fly....all of which helps me to be a stronger, more accomplished angler no matter what species I am after. I pride myself in being very patient and creative on the water, and have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge and insight with others!
