    2024 Fishing Aspirations

    Starting to plan a coho trip to SE AK in September. Been a couple years since we hit it just right. Stripers from the surf are fun and tasty, but I do miss those silver bullets right out of the salt.

    uHaul van vs. rental car

Just wondering if there might be any restrictions on the use of it during a...

    Anyone else talk to their fish?
