This spring, I returned to Ackins Island in the Bahamas for a do-it-yourself bone fishing adventure with friends Timothy Buckley, Tony Johnson, and Steve Jones. Our journey started at Greys Point Bonefish Lodge, where Timothy and I spent two days fishing the northern island. We then relocated to Salina Point Bonefish Lodge on the southern tip of Acklins.

In 2023 I had the privilege to spend some time backpacking in some of the most picturesque regions of our planet. Can't wait to see what 2024 has in store. #escalante #windriver #steenswilderness #bahamas
