Went over to Stuart to scout out the beaches for the first time this year. It took a pretty long walk to find the fish, but it was worth it. Wound up with 14 hooked, 10 landed. Everything sightfishing on the fly. No hogs, but I did stick a few nice ones. I had many shots at fish over 20lbs, but they didn't show any interest which is pretty typical for those huge fish! The fishing will remain strong in that area through the summertime. I used a floating line on a 7 weight rod and one of my 2" epoxy minnow patterns.

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!
