    Patagonia fishing and sightseeing recommendations

    That was 19 years ago, so any info I have is pretty damn stale by now.

    Fighting rodents on camping trips

    Like JayB, I put these rodent repelling devices in both my truck and Jeep after a few incidents - Both vehicles are parked outside most of the time, but the Jeep gets to come in once in a while when I clean up that side of the garage. The final straw was finding a chipmunk in my garage that...

    Yes, he is. It was Raul that I fished with.

    Slumpbuster permit

    I got home a week ago from a two week trip with a little bit of fishing, but it wasn't the primary purpose of the trip. I was coming off a bit of a permit slump. After going 8 for 11 on a trip to Mexico in April, I got blanked a few weeks later in Belize. The first week was spent in Roatan...

    Strange, weird or odd or whatever beach finds thread….

    Maybe not that odd considering I spotted this on a beach in Ireland last week

    Esox....the journey

    My journey has only involved Esox lucius to date, but it's involved multiple countries, states, provinces, and territories. The first came from a lake in a national park in Alberta and the most recent was from Bristol Bay, Alaska. The furthest I've caught them from home was in the highlands of...

    Epic Permit Week

    After 3 years on a waiting list for a coveted April spot at Playa Blanca, I went 8 for 11 last week (1 break off, 1 cut by a rock or shark, and one just straight up fell off). A more typical week of permit fishing for me is 2 or 3, so this was pretty spectacular.

    Turkey

    I'll be getting a late start this year, which will be a serious negative if this year is anything like last year. I've been on the waiting list for a coveted April week at Playa Blanca lodge for a few years and a spot finally opened up this year. Just so happens it's Apr 16-23, so hopefully the...

    Beer (Without the Alcohol)

    I had a similar issue with them in December when everything was delayed. One order took forever to show up, and when it did it had obviously frozen in transit and several cans had bulged and leaked. Oddly enough, that order happened to be (accidentally?) double shipped. Same UPS tracking # and...

    Beer (Without the Alcohol)

    I tend to run a ratio of about 5:1 NA to real beer and went on a quest to sample as many as possible recently. Here's how I would rank them from best to worst: Athletic - Definitely dominates the genre and their pilot program makes it easy to keep things interesting. Brewdog - They have some...

    Advice for next travel trip

    Right now is a good time to keep an eye out for last minute cancellation rates too. If I hadn't already been booked and paid 2 1/2 years out for the Bolivia trip I took in October, I could have gone the following week for half the price.
