Interim Field Test Results....

Offshore Angler Ocean Master- OM 50 Spinning Reel- http://www.basspro.com/
Offshore Angler Gold Cup Inshore Spinning Rod- 7 Feet- http://www.basspro.com/

It's been two full months of tarpon action, specifically 23 silver kings from 40 to 80 pounds and the two above items have performed flawlessly. There have been no parts failures on the Ocean Master reel and the drag continues to be smooth and the bail roller is rolling. I have done no maintenance other than lightly wash off and spray-oil the reels. The rods have absorbed tremendous punishment and never get a kid's glove treatment when my 16-foot Hewes becomes a tarpon skiff and workboat under the hot summer Florida sun.

Looking forward To St. Augustine, Captain Cochran, and Some Pogie "Madness"...

Photog. Art Blank and I are looking forward to traveling to wonderful St. Augustine and fishing the pogie schools off the beaches with Captain Vaughn Cochran. It's a novel adventure that has us hankering for some rod-bending action with tarpon, jacks, and more.

Back from the Western Caribbean... Belize Images by Jan Maizler

We arrived at Belize City a few days after the tropical storm had passed. The rivers were flooding muddy water into a sea already chopped to a froth with 25 M.P.H. onshore winds from a high pressure cell. Great days for exploring, but lousy for fishing.

Old Snapshots of A Few of My Big Florida Bones...

These crusty old snapshots speak for themselves and the nice thing about these trophy fish is that all of them were caught and released no more than 1 hour from my home.

Questing for the Florida Bonefish in the Ranger Banshee with Captain Tadd Vandemark ...

Say what you will, but the Florida bonefish- from Miami to Key West- represents some of the largest specimens of the species per unit of financial and personal expenditures by anglers on the entire planet! The Bonefish Coast of Florida will give U.S.A. anglers the best value for dollars-spent and hours-involved for trophy bones than anywhere on Planet Earth.
