Expedition Great White

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

CATCH NEW EPISODES ON SUNDAYS AT 9PM EST, ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL.

We’ve been fortunate to know Chris, his wife Melissa and their crew for a long time. We’ve seen how fluidly the work together to land a fish or lift and launch boats off of the M/V Ocean. We’ve fished with them, hiked with them, swam through caves with them, swung from vines with them, travelled with them and often woken up with headaches with them.  And after all those experiences, we’re still big fans. Chris took his love of fishing and has turned it into a career via Fischer Productions, his production company. You probably know him from Offshore Adventures, one of the most watched, most-successful, most-award winning fishing shows that’s ever been out on the high seas. Their new show, ”Expedition Great White” just sounds epic doesn’t it? It is. Here’s a little taste of what it’s all about.

You can also check out the epic photo gallery from Chris Ross who was on board and in the water.

A couple of years ago we spent a couple of weeks with the Fischers aboard M/V Ocean in Panama. Chris has a crew that will put him on fish and he has the gear to fish just about anywhere; way beyond where most people can even dream about fishing. So it makes sense that his fishing prowess has now grown to the point that he’s out there catching and releasing fish that nobody else ever has. Expedition Great White, went live on the National Geographic on June 6th. But you won’t have to wait for weekly episodes because Chris and crew are going to keep us updated here on the Watery Rave on all the behind-the-scenes, as-it-happens, never-before-seen greatness that they stumble upon while they’re out there living the dream.

Expedition Belize & Project Permit: Permit Pursuits by Chico Fernandez

Friday, June 4th, 2010

This is your year—¡Caramba!—to catch a permit on the flats. The right timing is the first step.

by Chico Fernandez.

It’s often said that the weather never gets too hot for permit on the flats. Even in the high heat of summer, when most bonefishing is done early and late in the day, permit are seen tailing during the middle of the day, in weather that is too hot for many fly fishers—particularly if you come from up north and are not used to 90-plus temperatures and high humidity.
