Fishing with Charlie
Charlie. Every angler should have a Charlie in their life at some point. Charlie was the quintessential sportsman. From fishing South Florida to hunting caribou in Canada, Charlie was about as good as they come.

The Joys of Night Fishing
A guest article by Justin DeBerry about night fishing for sharks off of Carrabelle, Florida

Florida's Hidden Treasure
A short drive from most areas of the southeast United States, but a world away from daily pressures, sits one of the last areas in Florida that remains relatively untouched by human development. North Florida’s Wilderness Coast, and specifically Wakulla County, is making a conscious effort at bringing in orderly, managed growth to the area, growth that benefits the local economy while protecting an almost pristine environment.

Blood Oath
I had a number of "secret" fishing spots when I was growing up. Several were like the small mangrove creek that I had to drag or push the boat across a flat to get to, and I was convinced that I was the only one ever to fish this hidden creek.

Beating the Crowds
We made it to the launch ramp at about 4:30AM. Too early, you say? We were about number ten in line to launch. Yes, on a holiday weekend it gets that bad. Had this been a normal weekday, we would have been all alone. We launched and headed out the inlet in the dark along with several other boats.

Square Grouper and Bull Dolphin
It was mid-morning when I saw the floating plastic. I had not seen one in quite a while. It was a square bundle of black plastic floating half way down in the water. Square grouper! In the '70s and '80s we used to see them all the time. Some anglers were foolish enough to try and bring one on board and take it back to the dock. This, my friends was a bale of marijuana!
