Fished my second Schoolie Tourney this weekend & boy was it a GRIND! Couldn’t manifest a fish to hand & fished my A$$ off with .prod27 for 10 long hours. Welp - that’s just how it goes sometimes. It was great to connect with a bunch of people I rarely see - hop on the Blitz Wire & try and dial in the bite. To everyone I interacted with this weekend, it was an absolute pleasure! Now it’s time to put down the feather wand & pick up some artificial lures for the COWs on the Prowl this spring! See y’all next year 👊🏼

*PS - big shout out to .cobelli.media for taking some photos from our tourney day. Truly a one of a kind weapon behind the lens.

As a Waterman - ’s mantra “Into The Wild Below” speaks to me. I chase after the unknown & require the right tools on this self fulfilling Adventure. Before I leave the Dock or step foot on a Sandy Flat - one of the first items I grab is my Adira. Why? The best tools for the job have a butterfly on the blade. I can always count on the durability & sharpness of this blade. This EDC never leaves my side during fishing season & if you’re in the market for a new blade - look no further than Benchmade’s Waterline Collection.

What a Year with the Butterfly on the Blade !

From the Mangroves of Florida to Ye’ Old Cape Cod.
My Waterline Collection Mini Adira & Undercurrent have been put through the wringer!

Honestly, my Mini Adira never left my side … or Wading Belt.

I walked countless miles on soft sand beaches, chasing after blitzing Stripers & spent hours having it submerged as I waded through Salt Ponds.

When Benchmade says Corrosion Resistant - they mean it!

The Undercurrent never left my Bibs - expect when I needed the Sharpness Knife in my kit to make some fresh Bluefin Tuna Sashimi!

These Blades are built for the people - the ones who are up at 3am chasing down Stripers in the Canal, the ones who need to Shuck an Oyster just for kicks, and the ones who value precision when it matters most.

I said it over a year ago & I’ll say it again - if you need a knife, an EDC or simply a blade you can rely on, Benchmade’s Waterline Collection is my first & only recommendation.

I can’t wait to see where the Butterfly lands in 2025 on my long list of Adventures! Maybe across the pond?

So you want to know what I’ve been up to over the last year? Well, here it is! For those that don’t know - I’ve been working with a team of individuals with countless years of experience in the outdoor industry. The Purpose? To build a Culture and Product line that caters directly to YOU, that young dude/gal who wants to get after it with a Fly Rod in hand, no matter the conditions or location. Expect to see A LOT of content over the next few weeks, I’ve built up a Years worth of Video/Photo work for this project & I’m beyond stoked to show you guys what this whole Brand is about! Get Excited.
