    Got any bird pics?

    Yeah, seriously. I went out to confirm I saw what I thought I saw. I wanted to think it ate a slug or something like that off the turd pile, but no, it was a small, oblong, hardened turd. I'm quite confident. It picked it up, flew with it to a low stone wall, and down the hatch. It then acted...

    Got any bird pics?

    I watched a crow eat a small dog turd in my back yard. I was disappointed.

    Crab pocket stuffing

    True, but I guess I figured that for something like this, most people won’t carapace. For a few, it’ll make their blood boil. The perps, I think they’re probably a lost claws.

    A Noob's First Time Chasing Tuna

    Scopolamine is a strong drug with a number of known and sometimes unpredictable side effects. It majorly messes with my sleep. I have had luck putting the patch on as soon as I get up the morning of the trip. Another option, non-pharmaceutical, is the Reliefband, which I've had luck with. My...

    Grips you like and don’t like..

    Well…Helps make the point that there seems to be widespread confusion and/or disagreement about the whole half wells/reverse half wells/Western/Fenwick thing. Yeah those are sweet. But are you partial to them or impartial? 😉 😹 I figured those hot rods are something that inflames your passions...

    Best outfit for tactical crabbing?

    "Garrison said they were wearing bodysuits with pouches and had concealed crabs in many places, including pants and a bra." Titty Crabs. Now that's dedication. Is that a crab in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

    What?! This makes no sense. But that might just mean it’s true. No, I’m not. I looked at a bunch of sites, many said different things, and not a one said that half wells isn’t a thing—they said that what you call reverse half wells is half wells. And none had pictures like you show, that I...

    @Chucker : Thank you! Anyone: What is the difference between the "Fenwick" grip and the Reverse Half Wells grip? If the grip Skyrise labeled a Fenwick grip is different from the Reverse Half Wells it must be a subtle difference.

    And I might need to get a grip myself because I still don’t know what a reverse half wells is, if it isn’t taking a half wells and reversing it so the fat end is toward the rod tip.

    FFS I wouldn’t be asking if I had gotten a satisfactory answer from searching. It says different shit!

    Coming back from the hot and humid Southeast, this feels grrrrrrreat! We still need rain though.

    NFR Any of You Ever….

    When we finished our undergrad degrees a buddy and I took my 1988 Mazda B2200 2wd p/u from South Carolina to the Arctic Circle in Yukon Territory, pretty much all the highways in Alaska, down the West Coast, and back east. We wrapped it up after 2 months mainly because we ran out of money (and...

    Coach, how cool that you made this happen. “Lots of stuff gets talked about and doesn’t get done.” Ain’t that the truth? Nicely shot and documented on some gorgeous water. Great fish handling. Congrats on completing the mission and the project. You’re a modern day patron of the arts!

    Can’t argue with that. They can substantially move that big ol’ canoe! The shellcrackers are similarly feisty, don’t jump and bulldog hard, but might have a bit more violent take and initial run. They aren’t quite shaped like a permit like the bully bluegills are though. That’s some surface...

    This thread needs pictures with labels. I thought I knew what a reverse half wells grip is but now I’m not so sure.

    Me too. Getting ‘em on droppers ain’t too shabby either, ‘specially when they’re a pound plus.
