Schooling Yellow fins
This original entitled "Schooling Yellow fins" is my latest piece. These Yellow fins were caught off the coast of Hawaii and shipped to me thru Miami to make this Gyotaku print.

Mahi-Mahi
Known as Dolphin in the U.S., Mahi are a fantastic game fish. This fish came from 100 mi. out in the Gulf of Mexico. Believe me thats a long ride! Better places to fish for Dolphin are the Fl. Keys and Mexico. Fresh caught they are an artist canvas. This print exemplifies the fish in all its splendor.

Red Snappers
The true American Red has far reaching boundries. A beautiful specie this fish is known for its excellent food qualities. I love the way this print captures their equisive color. Printed on Burgandy bannana paper/Thailand.

Dancing Spades
The Spadefish gets his name from his similar shape. As most exotics they are equipped with a small mouth with tooth cutting jaws. Typically found around reefs and pilings larger Spades school over offshore reefs. Best way to catch one is to chum with little pieces of cutbait.

As the fish begin to feed freeline a small hooked bait making it look like the chum. You would be impressed with aggressive strike and battle that results from this bait and switch technique. This fish was caught off the Sarasota reefs in July by Alex Thornton.

Coral Dance
This Hind grouper nicknamed the Katie Mitchell lives in deep water. The red coral suits his home. Their meat is delicate and highly sought after by fisherman along the gulfcoast. Let this piece bring you underwater peace.

Lane Snappers
Lane snapper is a highly sought after bottom dweller. Boats targeting food fish will snapper fish along with heavier outfits targeting grouper. Cutbaits, pinfish, and shrimp are all good baits. The bright coloration of the Lane and sweet taste make it a welcomed sight in the fishbox. Very prolific in the Gulf of Mexico, this fish was taken 25 mi off Sarasota in 80 ft of water.

Fast Break
Spanish Mackerel can be caught at anchor, drifting, or by a method called running and gunning. These are some of the fastest fish that inhabit the ocean. A popular way to locate them is by searching for Terns dipping down to the surface. As the mackerel drive the baitfish up to the surface, the terns dip down to pick up the leftovers. This painting was created for Andrew Wimpfhiemer after a frenzed day of fishing the blitzes off of Lido beach.
