Pretty sure I have never recommended a movie before , but Alex Beck sent me his latest film titled “In Search Of Grande” which totally captured my imagination. Not exactly bonefishing but the film epitomize’s the spirit of DIY. As they say early on in the film ‘we aren’t fishing, we are hunting.” And hunt they do, for rooster fish off the beaches of the Baja. I understand that many of you are not there, but I found my “fishing soul” when I started exploring, hunting and stalking on my own. Nothing excites me more than finding an overgrown two track road, barely worn path or hearing the whispers of a local, all of which hold the promise of a fishing hole I have never seen. Of course I am lucky to have friends who like to do the same things and a wife who tolerates the hours of endless driving down roads that go no where. If the truth be known, most of our treks down the “left fork” end up at an impenetrable mangrove swamp…..but what if we take the “right fork?” So often these days the fish I catch, nobody will see. Don’t need hero shots any more. At this stage of my journey it’s not the catching, it’s the adventure. And In Search Of Grande takes you on the ultimate adventure. I invite you to see how Alex and his friends have captured the essence of “we aren’t fishing, we are hunting.”
