Good weekend. Filled my last turkey tag and caught a few fish.

Nice boat. I had visions. Quick sale...it was a heckuva deal.

My wife just left for work. Im texting her about your boat. Where are you located?

Extended family have an island off the coast of Maine. Think its been in their family for 100 years. Couple of houses. No electricity, running water, ...outhouse. Been there a couple times in my youth. My favorite event was flipping seaweed to gather mussels. Dig a pit, build a fire, add...

Ive killed one bird dead at 65 yds with my Stevens 301 single shot 20 gauge. The Indian Creek choke and TSS is awesome.

It can get a surprisingly tense in the final moments, trying not to get busted, but also take a good shot. No jitters in tight corners with my shotgun, it is very easy to miss with a fist sized pattern.

Meiser 10'-5wght switch rod. I fish it mostly single hand, and two hand when needed. My wife fishes it single hand.

Late to the conversation. I bought a 10'-5 wght Meiser SR last year. Absolutely LOVE this rod. Very versatile for river fishing, and still water. I fish it mostly with one hand, but like the advantage of using two hands when necessary. I fish conventional lines , heavy 6 wght up to 8 wght. The...
