Could sell it as saving salmonids by eating all those pikeminnow....

Who knew!? I guess we should get them back in their native range. 🤷‍♂️

Just going to keep my dogs as calm as possible.

Isn't a half wells just a reverse reverse half wells? Seems logical to me...

Some nice looking smalljaws and bigjaws showing up here!

@Long_Rod_Silvers , I do know a few people who really only fish certain areas on the lower Columbia and they won't go if the tides aren't just right. I don't have that luxury. I fish when I can. Plus, IMO, it's not all that difficult to find new areas if an area you're used to isn't fishing...

yes, an entirely new species. I'm the only person who has ever caught one too. Now, where's my trophy?

I've never really taken the time to collate those data. There are definitely certain water levels on some flats where there will be more fish on them, but that goes for anywhere. Lol, thanks! You'll think I was really crazy for trying on Saturday where if the wind wasn't gusting to 20, the...

Let Me GOOGLE that for your lazy ass!

In a single word: TOUGH. I ended up meeting up with a friend at one of the more popular spots which is easy to walk in to. In spite of VERY subpar conditions, we stuck it out, however did not see many fish through several hours, either spooked or anything. I ended up heading to another spot...

Do high-priced guided trips for invasives from a boat into areas that used to be great hike in spots count?

:LOL: I have 2 rods that have graphite grips on them that I had started to build myself (turns out, rod building isn't my jam). The one I actually use (NFC 8wt glass), now has a tennis wrap over that.

Is there a problem here?

I have some ideas.... :LOL:

That's partly why I started trying it. Once I wrapped my first one, I liked it so much I did almost all of my rods that I use regularly. What I don't know, however, is what it will do to the cork underneath long term. I did re-wrap my Epic Bandit last year (after ~4 years with the tennis...

while mine was super laid back (that really goes with that species in general, plus captive bred specimens of most species are generally a little more laid back than their wild-caught counterparts). The only time he really "lit up" was when I came in with a thawed rat in the feeding tongs...

you guys are really going to be blown away by this: I don't like graphite rods either....🤯 back to our regularly scheduled grip talk....

Full wells. But I also don't really like the feel of cork any more. So I wrap them in a tennis wrap....but still, full wells all the way.

Looks great! 3 words though: Capr capr capr

I know, I'm ashamed.
