So Cal Fishing with Jim Hendricks

4 days ago | anglersjournal.com | Charlie Levine

Jim Hendricks has covered fishing and boating for more than 35 years. Based in Southern California. Jim keeps his thumb on the pulse of what is biting around Catalina Island, Longbeach, San Diego and on down the coast to Mexico. He’s a veteran boater and his original Cabo, the Split Decision, is one of the most tricked-out small vessels you’ll come across.
Flats Solitaire in the Turks and Caicos

2 weeks ago | anglersjournal.com | Owen Burke

Most fly-fishing anglers around the Northeast set their sights on Antillean grass flats for a quick-strike, midwinter respite with prospective fixes of bonefish, tarpon and permit whether we can afford it or not. Escaping the dark, cold metropolises to which so many of us are tethered is necessary to the survival of our species. On such trips over the years, I’ve struggled to find expansive, easily accessible flats with as many bonefish as I cared to count.
Casting the Entire Spool

Long-distance casting champion Ron Arra witnessed something he’d never seen before during a recent surfcasting demonstration on a beach in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The 79-year-old, five-time national distance champ watched as one of the participants, Lucas Leao, uncorked a cast that drained every inch of line from the spool of his Penn Spinfisher VII 5500 LC (long cast) reel, which held about 265 yards of 30-pound braid and backing. And then Leao did it three more times at the May 3 demonstration.
Island Life in Maine

3 weeks ago | anglersjournal.com | William Sisson

The work of photographer Jeff Dworsky illustrated a story published in Anglers Journal nearly six years ago entitled On the Outskirts about the small fishing town of Stonington on Maine’s Deer Isle. Dworsky moved there from Massachusetts in 1973 when he was 17. Now Dworsky’s work is the subject of a handsome, large-format book called Sealskin, from Charcoal Press. The book is 10 by 13 inches and 110 pages, with a hard cover embossed with a tipped-on photo.
Cajun Man Theophile Bourgeois

There’s a good chance you haven’t fished with a Louisiana guide who is also a tattoo artist and musician. Say hello to Theophile BourgeoisOn any given day, Theophile Bourgeois may be playing a gig in New Orleans with his band, drawing out a tattoo for himself or a client, or hitting the back bayous in search of redfish and speckled seatrout.
Hurricane Anxiety

1 month ago | anglersjournal.com | Charlie Levine

They always seem to strike in the middle of the night, making their arrival even more demonic — the darkness hiding their face. We hunker down in the center of our home, camping out in the windowless family room. While exhausted from all the prep and the sea of emotions, sleep is impossible. Wind screams against the side of the house. The dog growls and barks as debris from the 100-year-old live oak in our front yard bounces off the roof.
Valhalla V-29 Hybrid: Inshore Meets Offshore

1 month ago | anglersjournal.com | Charlie Levine

A lot of boatbuilders use the term “hybrid” when explaining a new model. The moniker can refer to propulsion options or a versatile layout. In the case of the Valhalla V-29 Hybrid, however, it’s all about fishing. The V-29 Hybrid was designed for anglers who want a stylish, high-performance center console that is equally at home fishing a shallow bay or coastal estuary as it is trolling for bluewater pelagics.
Redfish One-Two Punch

1 month ago | anglersjournal.com | Owen Burke

Inshore guide Capt. Tommy Derringer, 48, chases redfish in the shallow creeks, flats and backwater estuaries off the Intracoastal Waterway around St. Augustine, Florida. Since his early teens, redfish have predominantly been his game — to the point of obsession. Spin, fly or bait, Derringer does it all. I caught up with him ahead of a late-winter charter to ask about his favorite spring approach.
Fishing Ascension Bay: Where the Sea Meets the Sky

Feb 24, 2025 | anglersjournal.com | Charlie Levine

There is no better way to wash off the annoyances of airline travel than to step aboard a boat. The long wait outside the Cancún airport and the bumpy stretch of road through the tourism zone in Tulum sailed off in the rearview mirror as we loaded our gear onto the Grand Slam Lodge panga and set off for open waters. A light drizzle fell as the guide, Gaspi, opened up the throttle on the Honda outboard and headed toward a small cut in the mangroves.
Globetrotting fly fisherman and photographer Pat Ford has never lost his thirst for adventure

Feb 17, 2025 | anglersjournal.com | William Sisson

The scene could have been ripped from a Hemingway story. On a seamount more than 100 miles off Costa Rica, a white-haired salt stood in the cockpit fighting a blue marlin on a fly rod. The battle was as mano-a-mano as it gets in this theater. A 300-pound marlin, 20-pound tippet and a 75-year-old Don Quixote with a 14-weight rod. What could go wrong? One hour became two, and the powerful fish still hadn’t jumped. Instead, it rested far below with its pectoral fins extended horizontally.
