    FS Watercraft firesale (pontoon, 2-person inflatable raft, 16x48 driftboat)

    I am trying to do a magic trick where I turn three boats I don’t need into one boat I do need. With a couple little kids, I need a family boat I can take on the Sound. So Step 1: sell most of the old fleet. Pickup in Tacoma on all three items, I am unable to ship or deliver. Happy to provide...

    Puget Sound

    I see it. Looks like the fish I didn’t catch, damn it.

    Puget Sound

    Cool debris line to fish today. I made the mistake of starting my day with a gurgler. Several slash-and-missed, and then the fishing went cold for hours. Gurgler should only come out once the catching has already occurred.

    LOST 11/8/25: Rubber net with wood handle at Salsbury park

    Sorry pal, I took a look but I’m afraid your net is off to the great beyond. Edit - and I see my thumbs down is sideways. Gonna fish now instead of try to fix that…

    Also they don’t clip their barbs.

    What's Catching You Fish?

    Forget the fish - that’s a beautiful well loved hat.

    NFR The time switch sucks!

    It absolutely messes with baby and toddler sleep patterns. That’s my pain point (and the loss of an hour of after-daycare daylight window for going to the park).

    Coffee talk

    Mmmmm yep put me in coach. As a very unsophisticated roaster who tends to buy in bulk, I kinda enjoy how the changing of the season takes me from a darker medium roast to a lighter roast simply because I don’t adjust my settings to account for the change of ambient temp on my garage. Let nature...

    NBA 2025-26

    Also, side note after looking at the all time scoring list. Hard to believe OKC had three of the top 20 all time scorers on their squad at the same time, PLUS a prime Serge Ibaka. They kinda biffed that one.

    NBA 2025-26

    Lebron’s all time scoring lead is gonna be so hard to beat just due to his incredible longevity. Hard to believe he’s still playing the way he is after more than two decades in the league. But along the lines of what you were saying, pretty sure Wemby is outpacing Lebron over his first couple...

    Be careful out there

    Terrible to hear, particularly the kid. Tough to find the right balance between safety and sharing your love of the outdoors with your kids.

    NFR. Time to hang 'em.

    Ditto to @Otter , really glad you posted this. I’ve been needing some gardening inspiration beyond just buying whatever catches my eye in the spring.

    Puget Sound

    The chummies are indeed thick in certain spots. As were, unfortunately, members of snagging subculture of the flyfishing community, who were oddly eager to evangelize about the merits of their approach to anyone nearby. “I’m an unabashed snagger” - clearly, but I didn’t ask. “There’s an art to...

    Click pawl reels are the Harley Davidson of the river

    Standing chest deep in the hole, Hardy clicker on my pole. Pole so long can’t see the tip, Corkwood in my lusty grip. Pay out line with gentle jerks, Buzzing as the clicker works. Raise the pole to full erection, Fling it in a fish direction. Steelhead grabs as fly swings past, Troutset -...

    Love the fish pics, but man I can smell that first pic. Beauteous

    NFR What Are You Drinking?

    In my decent sample size opinion, Breakside has been putting out the best fresh hop beers this fresh hop season.

    NFR Phone scam

    Yikes. Sounds like a classic case of ICE phishing.

    Sitka Labor Day weekend

    Hey thanks! As I’m sure you remember, it’s really hard to turn off fishbrain in a place like Alaska, but I’m getting better at it. Always great to be reminded it’s worth it by someone who’s been through the whole kid raising cycle. And we’re starting to fish together! Had my three year old...
