Dear Viewers,

Thanks for watching Spanish Fly, Vida del Mar and for taking the time to write in, really glad to see other folks enjoying the Outdoors even if it's vicariously through the television.

Having guided for 25 years and now in the business of doing fishing shows, I can tell you that each one of those is a full time job. As a guide, one of the things I enjoyed most was that some of what started out as clients turned into best friends. Seems like that there are lots of good people in the fishing world. Wish that I had enough time to fish with more of them. However I am a firm believer in going with the flow, so it seems like the current moves me to maintain this present course and speed.

Because of these time constraints, unfortunately I am not able to take any charters right now however there are some great guides in the Florida Keys area that do the same style of fishing that I do:

Captain Carter Andrews  full info on Carter
Fishing has been a passion of mine since I can remember. While growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I spent all my free time fishing and dreaming of being a professional bass fisherman. In the late 70's I was introduced to fly fishing. The only thing that got in the way of my fishing was school and a conventional job for a short period of time. Then I saw the light. I wanted to share the joy I got from fishing with as many people as possible. I've been fortunate to experience some really fantastic fishing in some beautiful parts of the world.

Capt. Steve "Creature" Coulter - 252-995-4832
A very capable and knowledgeable fisherman. We caught many yellowfins on a shoot with "Creach" and mate Dave Chambers. What I liked fishing with him was that we chummed the fish right up to the boat so it was a intensely visual experience. He is also has a fair amount of experience with light tackle and fly fishermen.
