There are some really well-rounded teams, a treat to watch, totally agree on that. I like the current 3 pt line, it forces defenses out to meet offenses, which opens the floor. If the 3 pt line was farther back, defenses would back off, reduce rim penetration, and force more of a midrange...

Watching an NBA game on the League Pass app and a Simms commercial with bass spinfishing shows during a commercial break. I don’t watch much TV … are Simms ads mainstream now??

Keep in mind when looking that some manufacturers measure drift boat length along the gunwale while others measure on centerline. Many boats sold as 16’ are closer to 15’ centerline.

I’m 6’5” 250 lbs. I’ve used a WM Kodiak for many years and it has one primary asset that distinguishes it from other options - highly packable due to lack of frame. As a pure floating craft, it leaves a lot to be desired. The lack of rocker limits ferrying and can be a serious liability in...

My experience is that down sonar is mostly worthless for seeing fish in shallows, but becomes relevant around 20’ depth. Side view is great for shallow structure, but hard to discern fish in the 2D plane. You might benefit from a livescope-type scan

A factor in livability: https://www.opb.org/article/2025/02/20/all-science-no-fiction-oregon-has-some-of-nations-smokiest-cities/

ok, will try using my best local dialect. Quonnie Used to fish there a lot when my wife lived nearby.

I have, on multiple SSW #1 (octopus style). This was 7 years ago, perhaps another bad batch, but its why I now choose Gamakatsu over Owner when similar options exist.

Pink and chartreuse is very effective for coho … from a few hours ago in (mostly-fresh) tidewater.

These are also my standard two flies, in a couple sizes / weights. Makes choosing simple! I downsize the fly materials more than the hook, though. The chartreuse over white clouser mixes 5 or 6 colors, mostly 2 green dominants (chartreuse and kelly green), plus a couple strands of yellow or...

Around 2003 or 4 or so, I carried a single hander and double hander there. The double hander was lined with DT or long belly and fished great at distance, but wasn’t great in close especially with big wakers. I also needed the single hander. As my two-handed setups got shorter and...

Call the company. If you can’t speak to said passionate designer and ask the specific questions that interest you, then move on. A small company without a standing reputation must be willing to make that special effort if they want distinguish themselves from a rebranding company.

I’m 6’5” and never have difficulty finding a good bag, despite the limited long options. I buy down only, which limits my choices further. I haven’t bought one in around 8 years, though. I’ve been happy with bags from big boxes like REI, LL Bean. The zipper needs a heavier fabric flap, helps...

Those lines will work on the Queets, big open water. I throw a single hander from the boat with 25-30’ full sink heads ranging from intermediate to T-14. You have to pay attention to your casting angle, because once it lands, your control options are limited primarily to leading / following...

The Cortland compact floater and Type 3 are currently on sale at sierra

Aluminum drift boat trailers with a roller do exist, just not sure what’s available near you. Koffler in Oregon sells them.

Shiggy rhymes with Diggy

If you are willing to use a shooting head, can cut down a full sink line that’s 2 or 3 weights too heavy

Can you divulge?
