Snook

Sorry, it's been a while. /  by Nathaniel Harrington

It feels good when the content works.

Let’s blast into this like I haven’t skipped out on four years of blogging.

Recently I did a shoot with Captain Sam Atwell for Columbia PFG. The goal: catch a tarpon on fly in the Indian River Lagoon. Sam had a plan, and it was a good one. This was our first shoot together for Columbia as Sam was just recently added to their Ambassador program. So congrats to Sam on that! I hope we get to do many more of these.

Check out the Short Reel:

Sam Atwell: A Tarpon on the Fly.

Filmed Spring 2024

And then we had a concept for getting a snook using live bait. For this part of the shoot we really wanted to focus on the shoes and benefits of wearing a good watershed while fishing in shallow mangroves.

Check that out here:

Huge thanks to our buddy Kent Krebeck who turned his boat into the camera boat for the morning. He also nailed the land angle shots of Sam setting the hook and the epic jump. I was on drone duty, he absolutely nailed the long lens. Thank you, Kent!

Sam and Jess shared the insights from Instagram and I gotta say it feels good when the content comes together. I’ve linked both these images to the Instagram Page. Please do visit and watch them there.

The next Columbia PFG shoot will be published on this blog soon. It’s already been filmed, and let me say it’s pretty freaking cool. Hint: It has some unique interactions with sailfish.

Stay tuned, I might actually start using this again.

CNY on the Fly /  by Nathaniel Harrington

Hey, Welcome to Vero Beach, Fl!

Wanna get tight? book a charter with legendary captain Chris Yergans.

It’s been a fun season of collecting promotional video for Captn Chris. He really knows where to find the fish you’re looking for. Hired by fishing tv hosts and a countless amount of clients over the years his consistency and reputation continue to swell. I’ve learned so much the past few months I feel like I could also now be a fishing guide! Na i’ll leave that up to the pro.

Here’s a little teaser of a 31” snook we filmed. This was within slot and we were itching for a great dinner so it went into the live well of the 18’ maverick.

If that looks fun and you want in on it, book a charter with Chris. His Site HERE.

thank you all.

Sebastian Inlet from the Pier. /  by Nathaniel Harrington

The other day at Sebastian Inlet i wanted to shoot from the pier, a perspective that I hadn't shot before. It seemed like a pretty good day for it, fair weather and a south wind, and the pier wasn't full of fishermen giving me a little room to move around. 

I shot these angles and am pretty happy with them! We watched a monster snook get pulled in, and enjoyed the bloody mess that the pier can be when fish are being caught. 

Enjoy the photos, 

A short Instagram edit I made inspired by the snook. 

Lively up there... River had a blast running around, chasing birds, and checking out people's fish. 

I briefly moved down to the beach in time to get brock Taylor on a big cutty. Then finished the day with Zoe and Andrew. 

Always Fun. 

Thanks for checking out the blog and enjoy the rest of my site.

Early Surf & Dive. /  by Nathaniel Harrington

Winds: 0mph

Surf: 1-2ft

Sounds good to me! 

Here's some shots from this mornings adventures! I found some fish including a school of Snook, a couple Nurse Sharks, Stingrays, and lots of reef fish. The visibility was still only a few feet, but that'll work for me. It's just good to be out there. 

Morning Motion. 

Another blury cave. 

I love getting into the water early to watch the day begin! 

Big Snook! 

Here's a little nurse shark I found close to shore. This is the first Nurse Shark I have ever swam with! Really stoked to see her this morning! 

And I saw this Nurse Shark's tail sticking out from under the ledge. I dove down to find that she was pretty big! I would say close to six feet or so. 

Reef fish in the structure. /;

Soo Fun! 

It's always good to see life on the reefs! 

Thanks for checking the Blog and I hope you have a great weekend!
