chirp is the innovation that changes the game plan. i put a second unit on my blue water boat and i could actually see halibut lying on the bottom, just amazing. never did think much about side scanning as i would assume you get quite a bit of clutter coming to your display, maybe i am wrong...

matching the hatch is always a good idea. i tied up some flies to match the hatch one year and out fished the entire fleet for about 2 weeks. my fly boxes are packed as we are getting ready to move other wise i would send you an image, sorry. there are many very nice hootchies that closely...

any time you are looking for waterfowl, head 2 miles N from 101 on Kitchen-Dick rd. the irrigation overflow ponds are always packed with them.

it is important to start with a quality vice. my HMH is about 50 years old at this point and still going strong. some bobbins are next and a whip finisher. you will have a good start with these simple tools. oh yeah, a good pair of scissors, i prefer what are call 'iris' scissors, check...

thanks Rob. my dad had some interesting stories he shared from his time in the USAF. during the cold war as well as WWII pilots did many crazy things and got away with them. he was 'too old' for combat flying by the time Vietnam came on the scene but my all time favorite cousin Capt. Peter...

best optics you can buy, bar none.

the Yakima canyon is a magical place, that's for sure. alcohol and this fishing fool don't mix until everything is cleaned up and put away for the day. but different strokes never bothers me so carry on.

how about some detail on camera and lenses??

you got it half right. polluting every place they put them because they have to remain out of strong currents for their anchors to hold.

in the 60s we would walk the RR tracks to get to some good fishing spots on the Yak. we never bothered anyone and never saw anyone either. i guess things have changed.

the AK record species were stuffed and on display in Fairbanks at teh airport. back when i was flying up there a lot, you could actually go up to each one. the bull moose was so tall, i could walk under its belly without touching, i am 5'9" so sort of short.

ever go past a cattle feed lot?? that is what is under these net pen operations.

the year WDFW announced the halibut season as two days, i sold my custom built fishing machine. so do i care what they are saying lately?? nope, they have already screwed the angling community while backing anything the tribes want to do.

my cast iron is decades old, not the new stuff with ridges in the pan. i keep the cooking temps no hotter than medium heat on the gas cook top. i let it cool and then wash with 'bartenders friend' and hot water. drain, put it back on the cook top with high heat to dispense the drops of water...

we used to make an annual trip down to Loretto but at the end of July, beginning of August. for several trips we stayed right on the beach near downtown. but two trips we stayed at the hotel you are speaking about. i have no idea what the fishing might be like in our winter months. it takes...

that CB750 was a work of art. all i could do at the time was drool, :)

too busy riding to take images. after thousands of miles on beemers, i discovered Ducati. no changes necessary, great suspension, comfortable saddle, think about a corner and you are on the other side. these bikes are NOT beginner friendly, way too fast and powerful but what a great ride, i...

yep, the government in Tarawa keeps sending people as over population seems to be a problem on that island. the republic covers some 2,000+ miles of ocean and obscure islands, most uninhabited. just glad i went when i did so long ago and i have no desire to repeat at this point in my life.

i was fishing the lee side of CXI, i asked the guide to just point me and pick me up. he suggested i not wade but instead walk the water line on the beach. i hook a huge trevally and was playing this fish as hard as i could. the fish was getting 'nervous' and i looked the other direction and...

i made two trips down there in the early 80s. it was a third world country. not a paved road anywhere on the island and very few residents. but the government kept sending more and more people to CXI. a friend went down a couple of years ago and shared the images he had. it is no longer a...
