    European sea bass

    I’m with mullet, they’re much thicker at the head, almost squared so a mullet. Mullet are dark on top but when they roll when feeding are bright silver. All said and done both take flies and are apparently a blast to catch. Cool nonetheless. My 2 cents, Dave

    What's in your vise?

    Haven’t posted ties for a while as thought my phone camera was crap, user error as always. Having a last hurrah for the summer on a now pretty weedy lake and so lobbing a floating olive leach on a type 7 into the weeds seems like an option. I forget who on here has been noting this but a...

    What Are You Eating?

    I know, I’ve heard great things.but I have a cheesesteak every quarter… As luck would have it, my missus got one and doesn’t like it. I’ll have it tomorrow and will give a report . I have a feeling it will be a great brunch even though not at its best. The other nice bit about Chucks is there’s...

    What Are You Eating?

    I ate it too fast for a pic. For any of you in N Seattle, Chuck’s hopshop on 85th and 8th has a food truck called Tat’s on Sats. Their Phillie cheesesteaks are quite righteous, I have mine wit wiz. I inhaled it. They apparently have great pastrami too, but I can’t get past the cheesesteak. Dave

    Very cool gift

    I turned 60 today and got a lovely surprise gift from a fishing buddie. Size 32, crazy. I put a dime by it for scale…minuscule. Dave

    What Are You Eating?

    Just trimmed most of the silver skin and connective tissue off a boneless leg of lamb and now marinating for dinner tonight and extra will be vac bagged up and frozen for later. An off shoot is my dogs think I’m the coolest guy on the planet as they’ll get the trimmings today and tomorrow. Dave

    Lake Boomshakalaka report

    Have you ever found a mirror that works yet mate? 🤪At least you can understand me when I write….I do like that you pointed this out so that folks do not immediately blame the rancher below which I’ve heard in the past re drawing down the lake. To the point, let’s hope they could build up the...

    SFR Cool stuff you see while fishing

    On a recent trip I saw a couple of things going on that were really cool. The first is that I thought hummingbirds were strictly vegetarian or at least nectarfarians…one morning my buddies parked raft had a pile of emergers resting on the wind free side but from time to time some blew/flew off...

    Lake Boomshakalaka report

    Well after all the intel I got for this lake, there were a couple of things that were spot on; It was really cold – colder than a witches tit at night and early morning. It appears that there was a fish kill. I saw quite a few dead fish at the south end in the shallow water but the overall...

    Intel for Chopaka

    I agree but for my fishing buds this is their place from when it was perhaps great, really over 30+ yrs as a pilgrimage of sorts so I follow along. They are wonderful friends. Their camp setup/running has set me in good stead for when I can’t fish with them. While really good fishing is the...

    Possible boat box at Costco

    I like this. I have a ton of stickers collected from over the yrs but don’t want them on my rig as I see them as ‘I’ve got stuff, rod me’ but on your cooler, well that’s kinda cool to me. Dave

    Having seen the work of art that is the creation of your new fishing rig, I wish I had a local contractor with your skills and eye for detail. Dave
