What kind of camera are you looking for? DSLR? Point and shoot? I've got a Nikon D500 w/ a suite of lenses up to 500mm that I could move along. Plenty of mojo with cryptic creatures great and small.

I'll take them... DM incoming

I'm currently working in Mexico and there's a bit of that sentiment down here too.

We've communicated a bit about the marine bio world. Obviously no need to respond - here or privately - but I'm curious what your "own bad choices" are/were? If you're making good money straight out of college you're well ahead of any marine biologists I know (except the Big Otter people who...

It's all relative! I really liked the 696 Predator until I got my hands on the Boost Blue. I recently re-strung my first ever fly rod (St. Croix Legend 9056 bought in 1993) and gave it a whirl again. The action is still fine but overall it felt quite heavy compared to the Boost Blue and the 84b.

I had a buddy that worked for Sage/Redington back in the day and he told me that the Vice was the sleeper of the Redington lineup. I had the Predator 696 and it felt stiff, heavy, and tiring to cast. I haven't tried the Vice but I'd give a 690 a go if one came up on Sierra. Speaking of Sierra -...

Compared to a 9', the only thing a 9'6" got me was more swing weight and fatigue. I don't think the extra length transfers to a longer cast or keeping my fly off the beach during the backcast. My limited experience with a Lost Coast Outfitters beach rod suggests that maybe a longer two-handed...

Whaler tax is like Toyota Tax.

If it's as clean as it looks this appears to be a pretty good deal. Possibly slightly underpowered but maybe that's more economical. Most of the other Triumph 170ccs I've seen on the market have been listed for at least twice this price...

Patina Patina = mojo = big bucks.

Sure it’s not this?

Nice ties! I guarantee I would have those tails fouled around the hook with every cast. I'm consistent that way when it comes to ties where the wing is high like that. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Your campfire clapped out pre-(Gulf) war Sigma by Martin is not worth as much as an actual prewar D-18. Sorry.

There are a lot of lines in the sand. It’s almost like we’re combing the desert!

This listing is the opposite of this It's not at all what I'm looking for but I almost want to buy it on general principle! The trailer alone would be over $2k new.

Nice work crew! Glad Abigail got to join. Thanks everyone for helping make that happen.

An example from a listing I’ve been looking at: “Yamaha F115 Four Stroke 2014 Up to date Maintenance. Mint condition.” Ok sounds good… let’s keep reading… “engine hours (total): 1100” Ummm. Mint condition and 1100 hours?

This describes 99% of the boats I’m looking at on the used market. Sorry pal, your beat to shit 1982 Evinrude w/ 2000 hours (or better yet, “unknown hours but runs like new!”) is not worth $10k.

I bet SRC would eat that up!

I'm still a big fan of the AS compact 2.0 but, after a couple seasons of use, my 6wt is finally showing some wear in the handling section. Seems fair to me. Recently I've been using an OBS 6wt and a Sonar Titan 7wt and they both have noticeably thicker running lines that tangle with ease. Not...
