Dawn welcomes you
with the sound of waves
lapping the shore, the sight
of red cliffs towering above,
and the smell of coffee. Heaven! Well, Lake Powell actually.
What a unique fishing trip. You and your friends climb aboard
a houseboat equipped with everything you could need . . . even a

guide takes you off in a small boat in search of stripers.

incomparable knowledge of the major gamefish of southern
Florida. He has the uncanny knack of putting his anglers where
the action is in one of the world’s richest ecosystems. Wildlife
