by Cas SummersAugust 16, 2010

I love this quote made almost weekly by Lee Corso as he works on the set of ESPN’s College Football Game Day. This he usually remarks to a game prediction he disagrees with.

by Cas SummersJuly 23, 2010

I’ve had the good fortune to fish Tampa Bay a few times over the past few weeks. Three days to be exact, in search of Mr. Tarpon. Time on the water is a great teacher. Not only do you learn about the fish but also yourself. I hope that I have not over shared about [...]

by Cas SummersFebruary 17, 2010

I have not been fishing much lately due to the strange winter we have had this year. We had a record cold front that chilled us for 12 days straight with temperatures in the 30’s and even 20’s. That is not normal. I am sure by now that you have read articles documenting the kill [...]

by Cas SummersJanuary 9, 2010

Our plans were to pursue Mr. Redfish and once located; persuade to eat some tasty flies. I brought my trusty Temple Fork TiCrX 7wt and a few Clouser [...]
