By JJ Waters It’s been called a fisherman’s dream, an outbacker’s panacea, a bird lover’s paradise. It’s the quintessential Alaskan wilderness and considered to be one of the most pristine, unspoiled and invaluably intact ecosystems still in existence on planet earth.

By Fred Garth We humans have a knack for killing off wild animals. Case in point: In 1741, somewhere in the Bering Sea, whale hunters discovered the Steller sea cow, a cousin of the manatee. Just 27 years later, it was gone, hunted into extinction for their meat and […]

By Fred Garth When you ask people who Guy Harvey is, they’ll often say, “Oh, I love his t-shirts. I have 15 of them in my closet”. Or, they’ll say, “Oh, I love his art. Also, I have 15 of his t-shirts in my closet.“ Rarely do they say, […]

By JJ Waters I love Louisiana. Although it’s known as the “Sportsman’s Paradise”, I’ve always thought the state’s motto should be “Joie de Vivre” (exuberant enjoyment of life). The people are hospitable, the food is insanely good, the history and culture are rich and diverse, there’s always a party […]

By Fred Garth What is IUU fishing? Hint: It’s NOT Indiana University’s Urban fishing team. When I ask my fellow fishing peeps what IUU stands for, I get a blank stare like I’ve just requested an equation in quantum mechanics. It’s an unfamiliar term that we should all know. […]

By Fred Garth As a writer, I love acronyms. I’m geeky that way. And social media has rocketed them to mega-celebrity status with LOL, OMG, WTF, IMO and IDK. But, sometimes you wonder which came first, the title or the acronym. Take ICAST– for example. It’s a fishing show. […]

By Fred Garth The red snapper, a fish we love to catch and eat, has caused as much political wrangling, meetings of powerful people, controversial news stories and wadded up panties than the bungled mess in the Middle East. After the feds announced a paltry nine-day season from June 1-10, […]

By JJ Waters I don’t remember learning how to fish any more than I remember learning how to swim. I always thought I was just born that way. But I wasn’t. The truth is I was taught by one of the greatest fisherman I ever knew. My earliest childhood memory […]

By Fred Garth Believe it or not, Guy Harvey know me before I know him. At least, that’s the way I remember it. Back in the late 1980s I was the editor of a magazine called, Scuba Times. Guy, who is passionate about scuba diving because it allows him to […]
