I haven't tried the Lifestraw. I picked up a Grayl several years ago and have been happy with it. I have a couple of them now and use them whenever I go hiking in the mountains. They give me the option of carrying water with me or going a little lighter until I get to the next stream, lake or...

Bonefish Buttah

I have fished with Bailey Short out of Hopedale a couple of times and have enjoyed it. I think the weather makes more of a difference than the captain down there in the winter.

Hoping for an angry Barracuda in the Bahamas next week.

Good idea. Same effect, one less knot to tie. Except the woolly bugger/leech does not have as much free movement like it does with the loop knot.

I rarely tie or fish balanced leeches. I have a hack that creates the same effect without having to go through the extra steps balanced leeches require to tie. I tie leeches on 60 degree jig hooks with a bead head and tie them on with a loop knot. Then I tie on a tungsten bead head chironomid...

Nice write up. This covers a lot of what you need to know. One critical take away that John Montana always emphasizes is that you need to know your forage. Carp will adapt to feed on whatever food source is abundant in the waters they are in. Where I fish for them on the Columbia River we...

The advice above to check out John Montana's stuff is worth listening to. John is the master.

Cape Santa Maria on Long Island could be a good option for what you are looking for. Or Chez Pierre, also on Long Island, if you don't mind more spartan accommodations.

I have lost weight and shrunk a size so these are too big for me now. They are both in very good condition. No holes or tears. Maybe a smudge or two that will wash out. Simms Downstream Jacket w/Hood - Size Large - 70% down, 30% Primaloft - was $349 new - asking $175 shipped to the lower 48...

Not that it makes it a better deal, but the 13% fee on ebay is not higher than it has always been. It is just packaged differently. It used to be 9% ebay fee and 4% PayPal (which ebay used to own) merchant fee for sold items. Now ebay ended their relationship with PayPal so they use their own...

I will take the job as long as you will honor my pronouns, provide me with personal meaning, and promote me to president withing the first 3 weeks. ;)

I have a trip to North Andros in March that was postponed from November due to a hurricane. That is the only "big" trip I have planned for 2023. Besides that, I will be fishing my local waters from April to November and have a couple of trips on the books this summer to the Columbia to meet up...

When I was younger, I was not very forthcoming with information to strangers on the water. I guess I was protective of the spots I liked to fish, and my thinking was if they don't have success they won't come back. I had an attitude of scarcity, which I think a lot of the tight-lipped old timers...

I fished about the same number of days as most years. I mostly fished locally, which is typically not a full day, but a quick run to the river or a lake to fish for a few hours. During the spring, summer and fall I do this almost every day. On hike in trips to alpine lakes, the fishing part is...

Double tungsten Pheasant Tail variation on a jig hook.

This was one of the nicer cutthroat landed from many alpine lake hikes last summer.

SOLD - I purchased these waders for my son in law, but the neoprene booties are too small for his feet. They are new with the tags still on. They were taken out of the box once for him to try them on. Retail price is $150. I am selling for $100 including shipping to the lower 48. I accept PayPal...

Bump. Lots of lookers but no takers...

SOLD - New in the tube with plastic still on the cork. Retail price is $595 plus $30 for shipping from New Zealand. Asking $475 shipped to the lower 48.
