American Shad Fishing on the St Johns River
It’s a cold post-frontal January morning in east Central Florida. While launching my skiff in predawn darkness I can barely see the end my trailer as a heavy fog bank has settled in. Luckily, I know this part of the Saint Johns River like the back of my hand, so finding my intended fishing spot in zero visibility goes according to plan. Heavy fog of this nature is uncommon on the Saint John River basin, requiring a precise mixture of warm river water, cold winter air and dead calm conditions to occur.
Get Grilling With Ace
Now, I love fishing as much as anybody, but fishing is great here no matter the temperature. That's why, when it's cool, it's another outdoor activity that tugs at my heart strings: cooking.
My Tooth Hurts…
Oh, such a bold statement because let's face it, going to the dentist is typically something most people avoid as long as possible. I know I did until recently.

Fall Mullet Run
I've written many articles over the years about the fall mullet run. I've used terms like frenzy, blitz, mayhem and frenetic to describe the fishing. Those are all good descriptors and are no exaggeration...
Get Clammy, Get Fishy
When was the last time you had a fellow fisherman introduce you to a new product that actually worked? Think about it for a minute — when was the last time someone said “hey, put this on your hook and I bet you will catch a fish” and it actually produced for you? Almost never, right? Well, I just had that “once in a blue moon” occurrence, and boy was I impressed.
ICAST 2018: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
What a fun, but exhausting three days, wandering the isles, visiting old friends and making new ones, and ogling all sorts of fancy new tackle I wish I could afford. I saw some good stuff, some bad stuff and plenty of stuff in between. Here is a rundown of the good, the bad and the ugly of ICAST 2018.
