About

Cordell Baum
My name is Cordell Baum Jr. I will be your guide when fishing with the “BONEFISH WHISPERER”. As a small boy I fished from Chesapeake Bay to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I am a direct descendant of the Baum Family from Kitty Hawk and the Outer Banks. Even today all are old school lifelong commercial fisherman. During the summer of my 10th year we moved to Alaska. This is where I became involved with flyfishing when I was 12 years old. I moved back to Cape Hatterras in the early 80’s and became an electrician while renewing my saltwater fishing. I would surf fish, pier fish and even wade the Pamlico Sound until the early 90’s. This is when I moved back to Alaska. This is also when I devoted myself solely to flyfishing.

Alaska Guide
I began guiding in Alaska in the mid 90’s drawing upon my experiences from fishing there years earlier and adding what I had learned. I didn’t start out to be a guide but it just happened. I became very successful at putting people on nice fat rainbow trout and salmon. To view this is in more detail visit my website for Alaska flyfishing www.RainbowJesus.info.

Miami, Florida
I started coming to Miami in 2003 and began the groundwork to learn a completely new eco-system and start from scratch on everything. I have systematically figured the secrets to unlocking the potential in the waters right here in Miami just minutes from the urban skyline. I have spent hundreds of days and many thousand hours putting in my time and doing the work it takes to specialize in flyfishing the flats. I have even developed my own 3 flys that cover all species. Everything I do is a direct result of my own personal experience because I chose not to research and taint the experience. I have decided to NOT pursue getting a boat but will be a GREEN BUSINESS. This is better for the environment. I also got involved with the Bonefish Tagging Program and Redfish DNA studys. I have become quite successful at catching targeted species from pushpoling myself in my canoe or simply wading. This fact is what has started the interest and what this business is all about. I take pride in doing things the hard way.
