Looking at getting a new pair of wading boots for my upcoming trip to Jurassic Lake this fall. Going to be some walking involved so decided to get a new pair of boots and add cleats for the rocky stuff. I will be wearing wool socks and neoprene stocking foot waders. I know the "standard' is one...

Since I have also been blessed to have fished all over and for lots of different species I get asked a lot, "if you had one day left on earth and the good Lord said you could have an epic day of fishing for whatever fish you want what would you choose." Without hesitation, I always say tarpon.

Shut your mouth. Nobody should ever ever ever fish for tarpon. In fact, basket weaving would be a much better alternative. Or skydiving, or golf, or tennis, or claming, or.....just stay the heck away from the tarpon flats.....LOL

The best tarpon fishery is a very safe place to travel to.

You only pay half the guide fee. So 5 days comes out to be about $2.5K per angler. Add in lodging, food and flights, and you can easily to that for $5K each. Easy. And I wouldn't even think about DIY for tarpon. Giant waste of money. Sure you can go 2 or 3 times as often if you don't hire a...

Apples and oranges unless you qualify it upfront that money is irrelevant. You can go to the best adult tarpon fishery on the planet and literally be fishing hours from leaving your house and for a fraction of the cost of a decent GT trip. You and a buddy can fish the Keys for a week easily on...

The problem is that there really isn't any comparison between these two fish. Different size, different habitats, different methods of fishing. Both fantastic fish. Just no way to pick one over the other. Some of these matchups make some sense in that they are somewhat similar in at least the...

That's a bit misleading. A guy may well catch fish on 1X. But how do you know he wouldn't catch more and/or bigger fish with a lighter tippet? To me the question is really are you breaking fish off on 3X? If the answer is no then don't go heavier. If the answer is yes then by all means go to 2X...

My favorite local NFL team, just hired my favorite college player of all time from the great Boise State University. Geaux Kellen Moore and his New Orleans Saints!!!!!!!!!!

When I hear 11wt I always say the same thing. You are in big fish tackle busting territory. This is the place for top quality reels. As already pointed out find a great price on a used Abel or Tibor and be done with it. Buy once and cry once.

Be forewarned while its still great its not near what it was even a few years ago. I could go on a page long rant but suffice it to say that CCA could have made a huge impact here but instead chose to favor the banquet money crowd over the fishery.

The "NOLA fish" aint what they used to be even just a few years ago. Act pretty much most days like redfish every place else. Finicky and spooky. Been pretty tough winter so far and the weather this month SUCKS.....lol

Simple rule on my skiff. Want to come with for redfish, I 'd love to have you but you WILL wear a flotation device when we are underway or you won't be allowed on the skiff. Its not negotiable.

Buddy and I were in my boat fishing a small bay last summer. A guy stops up on the road and unloads his stuff and proceeds to hike down the hillside to the bay. So far its fine. Its the one spot tubers/inflatable can hike down to a decent fishing area as the road is only 1/4 mile from the water...

Yup. No question Bama should have been in the CFP........ROFLMAO

Thanks guys. Really looking for an off the shelf way. I have used games carts in the past for hauling duck decoys. Only concern with that approach is how wide the scout is .

Got a new place to fish next spring. Some nice rainbows and browns and its open before most places will ice out. Good place for my Outcast Scout. However, its about 1/2 mile walk (two track road) that's closed to vehicle traffic. Anybody found a simple cart that works well with the Scout? TIA

Well to be polite as I can.....you are flat nuts. LOL His game translates terrifically to the NFL and its why he's going to be a first round pick and likely top 10. 1. He is strong as they come. He leads the nations in yards rushing AFTER contact. 2. He's fast and has insane balance. 3. He is...

Well I have no skin in the game but my question would be why do this at all? What funds are used to maintain this site and what will those funds be used for instead? Do you currently pay use fees for that launch? W/O knowing anything this would cause me to think the launch will be closed to...

I get a kick out of these kinds of threads. I will (fill in the blank) such and such a company. I will never own a rod from such and such a company. Or I will only use rods from such and such a company. Every rod/line combination performs differently for every caster. Its very much to each his...
