    Baja November 2024: Looking for boat/guide info

    My friend does that sort of trip to Baja a couple times a year, and tries to keep it in balance between reasonable cost and quality fishing, and arranges it all on his own. I'll check in with him on recommendations for guides and spots and DM you back. A few other thoughts - the biggest...

    fly rod reel

    Second Wetswinger's advice, you will want to strip in most fish, instead of putting them on the reel - gives you way better control over most fish. The big fish will tell you when you need to use the reel. Okuma SLV is a solid reel for under $60. That's all I used for years on my 5wts. Never...

    A little bit of fishing in CO

    A little bit of fishing in CO

    I've been there three times this year, fishing the best it's been for me since 2020. Well, as long as there is some chop on the water. When it's been calm it's been tough. Good luck!

    Tuna 2024

    Saw some pictures of what looked like a big mess of yellowtail caught by an All Rivers boat I assume yesterday. On a trip on Saturday, so pretty interesting. Yellowtail is my favorite fish to smoke. So so good.

    Recipes for smoking tuna?

    I tried 3 different ways to smoke the tuna. All were good, though the tuna did get a bit dry. But achieved the goal of making a bunch of quick healthy snacks. A spicy smoked tuna recipe I got from Ifish was the winner, modified a little based on Matt B.'s post - really good flavor, slightly...
