First attempts at sardines. Got a ways to go. Just started trying to tie flies last year

That's a pretty good description of chironomid fishing for me. 1. Measure depth. 2. Crap cast but get the bobber kind of where I wanted it. 3. Start watching. 4. Start spacing out, looking all around. 5. See bobber go down out of the corner of my eye. 6. Frantic set, bobber hits me in the...

That's a sweet looking fish. And love the story!

Mostly likely will start at Christmas Island. A friend wants to try a diy trip there next winter....

Thanks! That's a really nice price on the NTRs.

I've gotten the idea that I want to give flats fishing a try - bonefish specifically. So I've starting doing some research on what setup I would need. Looks like an 8wt setup is the most common. I figured I'd try to tap into some of the great expertise on this forum to narrow down the rod and...

Anyone have an Danielsson L5W 6nine they aren't using enough and would like to sell? Let me know!

Any idea if hookedfits.com is scam? Have some really good prices on Simms stuff.

At least in the summer, there are little roosters along the shore in a couple of spots. Seems like they'd probably be there now also. If you want to get a panga and fly guide, dm me. I'm not sure what is going on now, but if your time extends into March, I've been told there are some...

Starting to work on a trolling motor set up for my Stealth Pro. Figured I'd try the used route first. Anyone have an Outcast Frameless Motor Mount they aren't using and would be interested in selling? https://www.outcastboats.com/product/frameless-motor-mount/

More like 8+ months until I'm on a trip. Guess it gives me a little time to make real my ambition to try tying some tuna flies...

Wow. Great thread for getting through the shack nasties, love the variety of fishing everyone did. Some good stuff to day dream about!

Some lakes are less mostly boring than others.

Good deal on a classic rod.

I was actually trying to make a joke about swinging and kings like the royalty kind they have in the UK. It was funny in my head...

Whew, glad you two cleared that up. Having someone recommend going out and give "swing for King's" a try could be confusing for some people I suppose.

Sold. I will probably regret this.

I'll play. I was tying flies (one of the two patterns I know how to tie), but my daughter wanted to give it a try, and has now taking over - so I'll type in between "what do I do now" questions. Tough year to pick out a favorite moment. Lots of options - did a trip to the central Washington...

Ummm, that wasn't the intention of my post. It's likely the absence of otters are contributing to the loss of kelp forest in Oregon.
