Tarpon Strings on the Treasure Coast

Went off the beach yesterday with Capt Chris Yergans and met up with Scott Crippen.

We didn’t get bites from the fish we wanted but is sure was cool to see the tarpon daisy chaining on the treasure coast like this.

Gotta look close but that is a pack of Tarpon headed straight at us.

Scott taking a cast. no eats :/

Some big ones in the back!

Ya know, sometimes they just do not bite. These fish had their sensors on and would dive deep before getting up to the boat. They had very little interest in eating a fly, so they swam on.

the Southern Eagle

Getting bait yesterday with Captain Chase Cornell and Jack Hendrix. I was working on a little film production for them when I snapped these Images of the vessel, Southern Eagle, just of the coast of Florida.

She’s absolutely Beautiful.

A new video post will arrive soon with some teasers of this crew working their boat.

Hey Hey and Hello!

Ive been working on a very cool video project with a good friend of mine, Chris Yergans, AKA CNY on the Fly.

These are a few frame grabs from insanely amazing moments during this past month of June. We have been fishing all over the state of Florida enjoying its many, many different creatures.

Full Crew off the Beach. Boat swap about to happen.

The Silver Tarpon is a Migrator that recently came back to the beach after spawning in the deep ocean. The smaller green back tarpon would be more of a Florida Coastal fish. That smaller male will now follow the larger female for as long as it can, possibly forever, looking for the chance to also spawn.

I love this place.

We will be releasing some of this footage in the near future on this website as well and CNY on the Fly’s Website. Stay Tuned..

Thank you for visiting!

To the Press

Editing some photos last evening and I re-opened a folder from a show I shot with Carter Andrews. In this show we were chasing down some schools of jacks right off the beach on the treasure coast of Florida.

Its pretty abstract, maybe even confusing to most people who don’t know what they are looking at. But when you see it, its mesmerizing.

These Jacks are huge fish, averaging 30-40lbs. Carter targeted them on Fly and Top Water which turns into a spectacle to behold. Complete mayhem as these fish eat without much thought to it. They blast out of the water in every direction and when you hook up you better be ready for an intense tug.

Anyways this one will go on metal and find a home for one of the filmers I shot the show with. It will probably become a great topic for his guests.

Here’s a teaser edit I did for the show. Sets the mood. Check it out!

Hey, Welcome to Vero Beach, Fl!

Wanna get tight? book a charter with legendary captain Chris Yergans.

It’s been a fun season of collecting promotional video for Captn Chris. He really knows where to find the fish you’re looking for. Hired by fishing tv hosts and a countless amount of clients over the years his consistency and reputation continue to swell. I’ve learned so much the past few months I feel like I could also now be a fishing guide! Na i’ll leave that up to the pro.

Here’s a little teaser of a 31” snook we filmed. This was within slot and we were itching for a great dinner so it went into the live well of the 18’ maverick.

If that looks fun and you want in on it, book a charter with Chris. His Site HERE.

thank you all.

Miami shows off, Barrels on Tap.

This was my first time shooting/swimming around at South Beach, Miami. I had kinda made it a rule of mine that I wasn’t going to go down there and get involved in all the hype… but Matthew Glenn took me down there on Wednesday to see if we could score a good surf session… As we peaked over the dunes entering the beach we knew what we were seeing was pure gold. A couple a-frames peaked up and riffled off sending matt and I into a full sprint back to the car to get geared up. Miami was firing.

I always enjoy bumping into this guy in the line-up. Dustin Richardson got the shot of me with his GoPro this round :)

Perfection in the South.

A lot of the sequences I photographed look so similar that I have had to go back and forth in the album making sure I’m not using the same sequences over and over. I’m not, it was a machine on repeat all day.

I feel like if Miami could look like this just once a month it would turn the Miami South Beach culture into a major Surf Culture. World class waves at a million peoples finger tips.

Glassy and Green. Matt on a tear.

You can see the water falling in the top left of the above which is from a surfer who just about paddled into both matt and I. We hollered him off but the sequence was wrecked a frame later by too much water in falling out of place. It happens.

Try try try till you die and you’ll score some perfection. Matt in a golden gift.

The backwash wave of the day? Excuse my water spot there was a lot of sand messing me up at that moment. Matt Glenn holding his line in the dragons flair.

Loving how Dustin looks at the waves he’s surfing. I feel like he has a really good awareness in the water and in those kinda moments.

It had some size. An unknown surfer giving me some scale for the wave.

Imagine backdooring that peak. You’re welcome.

Running from surf like its a big wave day.

After a few hours of swimming I was cold and exhausted. Time to get a few from the shore I thought, so I joined the stadium standing and cheering as surfers got barreled up and down the beach. That crowd towards the end of the day was awesome to see. The stoke was real.

Unknown surfer probably got off work and rushed to the beach for a session, join the hype and live the moment, get views of a lifetime.

Had to get Matt one from shore for some scale. Seriously like 40 people were cheering as matt pumped a couple sections of this wave. It was so neat to be out there and a part of the vibes. Excellent form, Florida.

PS. Robbie your busted dude, the Surfline banner shot is sick but this happened a half-second later. Oh well, visit BDA for all your barrel dodging needs.

Thank you all for taking the time to check out my blog.

if you are interested in any shots please use the comments or Contact/Info page on this site to contact me. I’d love to see some prints come out of this day.

Hopefully we can all go surf some good to epic again real soon! See you out there.
