Back in the 1990s, âThe Walker Cay Chroniclesâ introduced a generation of deep-sea fisherman to the saltwater flats â among them, Travis Katski, who as a kid fished tournaments with his grandfather in a Hatteras 53 off of Ocean City, Maryland.
âThat show really sucked me in,â says Katski, who watched with his best friend, Michael McGivern, turning Saturday mornings with ESPN into a religion. The duo bought fly rods, began tying flies and fitted McGivernâs 16-foot aluminum jon boat with a plywood platform.
âAt 19 years old we drove straight down to Fiesta Key, pitched our tent and started to fish the flats,â Katski remembers. Repurposing a wooden dowel into a push pole, they glided silently across the water in pursuit of bonefish, permit and tarpon.
