Nor does this east coaster Dan. My impression is that it's designed to allow a downstream drift under a float with zero drag, and might allow drifting/presenting several hundred feet through a run, which it seems would be effective in covering water. To me, seems like a good bait cast reel in...

Olympic skier and tarpon bum Andy Mill's podcasts on YouTube: Mill House are absolutely fantastic interviews if you're a tarpon fisherman or dream of tarpon fishing. The episodes with pioneering legends such as Stu Apte, Sandy Moret, Chico Fernandez, Steve Huff, Rob Fordyce, Mark Sosin, Flip...

The Slimy Deck During a striper blitz buddy stepped from back deck to land a fish and busted his ass "Damn that's a slimy deck". "Dude, you just named the boat!"

Yep. Prine gave us a gift with those stories and that performance.

“the fish had left town….”

That is all fantastic advise. There’s a tarpon guide in Florida that said “I’m driven to stay in shape because when I’m not I’m not driven to fish”. That resonates with me. Thank you SnF!

I wish I'd have learned to double-haul far sooner. My initial ff foray was to catch educated and spooky striped bass slurping shad in slick water, and any attempt with gear would send them deep. So, my correct rationale was to attempt with a subtle fly approach and I caught plenty that I...

Dang, sorry. Covid sucks, and while this is going on we aren't getting younger. The two years are taking its toll on our precious health for those of us who've crested the slope. I'm 62. I haven't been to the gym since 1st week of Mar 2020, nearly 2 yrs due to Covid aversion, and I struggle...

On my local, deep jigging for these: But caught:

I've loved this thread and the creativity you guys bring, evidence of your pioneering spirit. Thanks for bringing it here. I'm on the east coast and chase false albacore during their fall run to the NC outer banks and have translated a few of your ideas, only a little smaller, mostly size 2's...
