Inspired by the previous trailer post. As a fishing rig, due to being a generally anxious and paranoid person, I prefer a small footprint camper where I can go directly from sleeping area to driver seat and move the vehicle to a safer location in the shortest time possible. If $$ weren't a...

Quick shot of the sunset on our recent surfing trip to Playa Grande.

My daughter wrestled for Lakeside HS and Lake Stevens wrestling club (aka Pin City) throughout high school until she graduated in 2012. She was one of 4 girls on her highschool team and she was the only girl in the Lake Stevens wrestling room which was a physial/mental/emotional challenge for...

I'm leaving this Friday for a surfing trip to Guanacaste (NW CR). Done a similar trip 6 times in the last 5 years. We are on Verizon and have the 'travel pass' offering that's $12 a day for unlimited talk/text/data. Using wifi is great but we're often roaming around to surf spots using...

Very pleased by this. It's what should have happened last year. We haven't had a Bama-quality OC since Sark left and it's shown in the results. https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2025/02/alabama-football-hiring-ryan-grubb-as-offensive-coordinator.html Roll Tide!

Surprised no one has mentioned Khruangbin (Thai for "airplane" but none of them are Thai). They're a bit of a melting pot genre-wise abut do have a bit of 70's SE Asian funk influence at times. Heavy rotation for me on my indoor bike trainer rides or when I just want to feel a little happier.

Very very interested in your report out after you've put it through its paces. I've been sooo close to pulling the trigger on a Gozney for a couple years now. Just could quite get past the price even though (as my wife pointed out) I spend more on other things with less utility (to her) without...

I've had both a WF and a Big Eddy. Liked the WF. Loved the BE on both the Yakima and Forks area rivers (easier beats). Having a little extra margin on the gunwhales was great and didn't really feel the a big loss in wind. I ended up selling it after we bought a house on the OP as I was always...

I know next to nothing about Hawaii but more importantly wish y'all congratulations on your 25th anniversary!

Everything LBL says is 100% aligned with my experience using the Clearwater the last couple years on easier sections/conditions of the Quilleute system. If you still want an upgrade, these come in the right length. https://paddlesandoars.com/composite-oars/small-stealth-oar-sst/#productDescription

RCF, we must be almost neighbors as I live in Maple Heights, close to Spring Lake. We have lots of wild space/animals in the Maple Heights/Lake Desire area. Coyotes run outside our fence all the time. I was cutting the grass last summer and looked up to see one about 20' away from me just...

I'm a bit of an audiophile; have a solid mid-fi home system and having a good system in my car for my somewhat painful work commute is a must. To date, I haven't felt the need to listen to music fishing but it's probably because it just hasn't come to mind. 90% of the time, I'm fishing solo so...

My family is from central Georgia and revered Jimmy & Rosalyn. My mother even saved her expired drivers license that had his signature from when he was governor as a keepsake. In my day job, we have a long-term partnership with his non-profit on the eradication of Guinea Worm which is super...

I have both an original Commander and a Clearwater that have gotten lots of use. Also owned a Catchercraft Freestone that was awesome with the lightweight frame. Having sold my big Maravia that wasn't getting used, I've been very intrigued by NRS's recent focus on small fishing rafts. The...

Ha! For sure. 2024 has been great for them in general other than that one hard freeze. Only had to water twice and even the big 'tree types' in the forest bloomed for the first time since we've owned the place.

Just checked my back camera at our place on the 'Duc. Looks like we got a smidge of rain last night. Fishing probably isn't too good on the Forks rivers right now... Camera screenshot from just now: How it looks most of the time:

Same here. Right up there with the best $30 I've ever spent on fishing gear. I do the same thing you do, put in an inside wader pocket on a low setting and it lasts most of the day. Been thinking about getting a second one and keeping it in the dry bag so I can have a fresh one after lunch on...

I had the D130 Outbound for about a year but in the end it didn't get along with my use case as well as I'd hoped so I went back to a truck and a EV sport sedan daily driver. I spend a fair amount of time with my small rafts in the back of the truck running around trying to fish where there...

I never said any of that. My point was the data cited was bad and shouldn't be considered gospel in order to set policy. 150% of the run could have been caught for all we know. Or 70% or 40%. Further, all this tribalism around types of gear is tiresome. Long boards vs short boards, skis vs snow...

That is used extrapolate angler impacts. It doesn't tell you the run size. So both the numerator and denominator are poor data that would not be used to make serious policy decisions in other fields.
