The results of listening to the right anglers and captains on how to fly a kite and what tackle to be using to troll a flying fish. There is so much to learn if we can truly listen to what people are trying to tell us. Spending most of my life fishing, first with my father, and later in life with some of the best in the business has taught me it is very difficult to listen and truly hear...
Most of us can truly understand the concept of the right tool for the job, but do we always follow it? I am sure many of you (me included) have used a butter knife as a screwdriver, or anything other than a hammer to bang in a nail. We know there are the right tool for those jobs, but we use what’s on hand or what’s convenient; the silverware drawer is closer than the tool box, right?  I know...

Cubera snapper smiling for the camera It's been twenty four hours since I got back from the most epic week of fishing yet. When I close my eyes I can still hear the drag screaming, the triumphant and celebratory hoots and hollers, and the sounds of billfish slicing the cobalt blue waters of Costa Rica. We headed down to Los Suenos via JFK airport and by 1:30pm we were settled into our gorgeous condo in Los Suenos. The first day we...
Our guide with the gold at the end of the rainbow. All smiles. Yellow taxi cabs zipped by with the sounds of angry and impatient drivers shouting and honking their horns trying to make their way into the departure lanes at the Jet Blue Terminal in JFK. Normally I would be in the mix of these maniacal drivers stressed out trying to find a spot where I could wait to pick up a friend or family member without being asked...
East Cape Slug Swordfish. Definite fish of a lifetime. The East Cape is heating up. Our humidity is starting to rise and now daytime temperatures are starting to tip 90 degrees. Evenings are still cooling a bit and very pleasant. Game fish have been fickle and hard to figure out. Smaller yellowfin tuna have been consistent south of Frailes trolling hoochies, Yozuri's and cedar plugs. The larger model yellowfin have been with porpoise schools off shore but it has been hard...
Low ambient temperatures… brisk winds… cold water… generally, not the conditions considered perfect for southern, Atlantic coast anglers. So, what our Liquid Fire Fishing Team decided recently was to ignore those offerings that early March offered and make a nearshore jaunt in our bay boat to target the often overlooked, underappreciated, but tasty table fare, black sea bass. While this species isn’t considered difficult to target or catch at any point during the year, the black bass does offer exactly...
Every fall thousands of trophy Striped Bass venture South from New Englandseeking warmer water. These fish only stop when they find enormous quantities of forage. Up North clams and menhaden are on the menu, but when they pour into the Chesapeake Bay, its eels. We concentrate on the giant females that are smashing through schools of bait, inhaling anything that will fit down their throat. During this very small window, these cows let down their guard and strap on...
Narrow History Today's reels come in a variety of sizes both in diameter and width, with a choice of gear ratios, handle and knob configurations and in a rainbow of cosmetic colors. With the combinations available for today's anglers, there seems to be a little confusion when looking to make a buying decision. One question we hear a lot is "Why would I need a narrower reel?". Narrow reels have been on the market for years with Penn offering a...
