Leaving the competition in her wake!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've no doubt heard about Jordan McCullough, the young and energetic female-angler who is taking the sport fishing community by storm. While images of big and burly men cranking down on shiny 130s may be your depiction of true blue-water anglers, in today's day and age this is hardly the case! With patience, finesse, practice and dedication it is possible for a petite-young lady like Jordan to whip a fat marlin into submission that is until it's time to revive and release the fish to fight another day.

Women remember their first.

Like our male counterparts, female anglers, too, find the lure of BIG fish simply to great to ignore. Join me on a brief adventure as I recap my personal quest for a true trophy.

If you've ever had the muscle-aching privilege of hooking a giant tarpon, then you know the shear exhilaration and breathtaking thrill that comes along with testing yourself and your tackle to the very limits in a battle against one of the most sought after game fish in the world. Hard-fighting and hard-jumping, glamorous silver kings rule the inshore waterways!

A little reminder to the fishermen in our lives….

The festive season is well underway, and soon, all of us will be regretting overdoing it on delicious turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie. Wow, it’s really hard to believe, but it’s already time to start thinking about gifts for that special someone in our lives. That’s right, every man's favorite time of the year - holiday shopping!

Love those lines.
There is no question about it; when the snook bite is on, inshore light-tackle fishing is as good as it gets! September 1 marks the highly anticipated re-opening of snook season, and anglers throughout South Florida have been anxiously waiting for this day to come for quite some time. Snook are Florida’s most sought after shallow water game fish, and are a perfect target for female anglers of all ages and all skill levels. Personally, they are one of my all-time favorite fish to target. Watching a snook engulf live bait or crash a surface plug for the first time leaves you with vivid memories that stick with you for the rest of your life. These fish are also notorious for their stealthy ambush tactics. At times, they seem to appear out of nowhere, and disappear just as fast.

Women who are interested in taking up saltwater fishing should know that when it comes to the ultimate challenge, sight-fishing to South Florida’s most sought-after game fish is as good as the sport gets. During anytime of the year, fishermen prowling the beaches from Sarasota down to Marco Island, will find the crystal clear water along the Gulf’s pristine shoreline provides an angling paradise like few others, but it’s during May through July, when sight-fishing to giant silver kings is in the spotlight, that excitement and adrenaline levels soar!
