068 – One More Cast with Chris Diamond

If only every last cast was like this one … Guest Profile

Chris Diamond is an excavator operator in the Tampa, Florida
area. But when the “Bearded Angler” is not working the heavy
equipment, he’s working the heavy fish. Snook, that is, and big
ones. Chris has taken to nighttime snook fishing for the big
girls in the summertime. So it’s no surprise that’s what his most
epic day (I mean, night) of fishing was. But Chris is a very
well-rounded Florida angler, and we also talk about some of his
other spectacular freshwater and offshore catches. Plus he shares
some awesome intel on how he gets it done on the flats and in the
passes.

Fishing experience

Chris grew up on a pond that he “grew to love”. Catching a 13+
pound bass will do that I guess. But he also loves inshore
fishing, both from his flats skiff and from the shore. His 2nd
favorite love is offshore fishing, which he gets to do with his
brother on occasion (but not as much as he would like). Of
course, his first love is snook. And he has become well versed in
how to catch the big girls during spawning season. Nighttime
snook fishing has certainly become one of Chris’ specialties.
