WELCOME TO LONE MANGROVE



Some places get into you.


This is where those places end up — the stories, the photos, the fish, and everything that happened between the casts.

A Life on the Water



Fishing Trips



I take a limited number of trips each year, in one of the last genuinely wild places left in Florida. The Glades deserves your full attention — and that's exactly what it gets. I'd rather run an empty boat than fill it just to fill it.


If that sounds like your kind of trip, reach out.






Stories From The backcountry



Decades on this water have a way of piling up into stories worth telling. The blog is where some of them end up — honest accounts from the backcountry, hard-earned fishing knowledge, and the kind of moments that don't make the highlight reel but stay with you anyway.


If you spend enough time out here, the place gets into you. That's what I write about.

Fishing has never really been about the fish. It's about what happens between the casts — the places, the people, and the stories you carry home.
