Mullins adds another great moment in UConn tourney history!

Another solid morning on the Sound. Fished with @Kfish out of my boat. I think I snuck into double digit territory based on the pics I took but it could have easily been more. We had lots of shots but the amount of bait in the water and some finicky SRC and rezzies led to some frustrating...

As @Kfish mentioned, I’ve also installed a terrova 24v 80lb thrust bow mount to my 17 ft Boston Whaler. It’s truly a game changer depending on the type of fishing you’re doing. For SRC, it’s made me use a boat pretty much every time out versus 4-5 times a year. I fish for SRC all winter and most...

Some simple chum fry.

Fun times indeed. Only a small number of SRC to hand but did better with rezzies. I agree with @Stonedfish, they do seem to get more picky as more fry hit the water. Maybe an opportunity to see more naturals and just having more naturals in the water makes it tough. I am thinking very sparse and...

I always say, “thanks friend” when releasing a fish. I stay quiet when bonking a salmon but have a “thanks friend” vibe about me…which is more important than the words in my opinion. I’ve also considered saying “thanks friend for the future turd” but have not to hatchery salmon. I mean, let’s...

I agree to a point. You said it yourself though, butts in seats don’t drive revenue, TV does so why bring in the logistic nightmare of a global league (or multiple leagues) when tvstreaming rights drive $$. Fight for that money overseas while continuing to push the best players from those places...

Been listening to a bunch of NBA talking heads chat expansion the last few days. More than expected against expansion. Key argument: other issues to address first: tanking, betting, load management: I’ll concede those points. The other: water down the product. Don’t buy that one. NBA has not...

I love coaches who build programs and stick it out even when early on, they could easily bolt for “greener pastures” based on their success. Maybe because I grew up in CT and watched Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma turn toilet UConn programs into perennial powerhouses and now, legit college blue...

This “barely a chum fry”… chum fry pattern caught a good number of rezzies yesterday blitzing fry balls. A little back and forth via a group text with a couple of members here including @Kfish who I love to annoy with my very simple, shitty ties for SRC and coho 🤣🤣. I know what’s running...

It ‘twas a good morning. Drove through snow on the way to the launch. Played icebreaker with the Whaler in a couple spots. First time out in 5 weeks due to a minor knee mishap and a great vacation. Some chunky SRC to hand and some kamikaze rezzies as well, blitzing the first chum fry of the...

Still some winter left dude. Just do what my dad always prescribed when we were sick or injured. “Take a shit”. Then get back out there ;). I kid…get better soon! Having tweaked a knee doing something waaay less cool than you (walking and stopping abruptly), I feel for you. Tomorrow will be...

Another chum fry. That time of year…

Chum fry.

You’d think Far Bank was not aware that they had a shit ton of “coastal saltwater fly fisher who fishes in the typically cooler conditions” right out their back door in Puget Sound. Why not offer it here as well? My guess is it’s a rebranded OBS or Coastal Quick Shooter though I have not looked...

Just making sure we were following the rules on a recent morning hike. Thou shall not pass!

I’m up but dawn where I’m at so not as dramatic. Still cool to see a red moon. Crappy cell phone pic.

If anyone ever mistakes my trip reports for AI, they’ve got a horrible eye for AI. Or do they… hi ChatGPT, can you create a picture of a coho on the beach…but, make sure the shot was taken at an awkward angle with sand and water on the lense. Make it out of focus, dark and nearly unrecognizable...

I was in your shoes a decade or so ago. Grew up in the northeast. Had done a lot of conventional and fly fishing and rivers and creeks back east and various places in the west I have lived. I can’t help you much up where you’re located. I’m down in Kitsap County. I will just say saltwater SRC...

Don’t love it…don’t hate it…don’t know how it will swim. That said, it’s going in the box. Jeez, tweak a knee, miss a couple weeks of SRC fishing and all of the sudden I’m ripping through bucktail like a poor man’s @clarkman jr. Well, a tiger would likely turn its nose up at this...
