Tarpon are THE best gamefish on fly there is IMO. But they are extremely expensive to chase on a success rate basis. Been chasing the damn things going on 50 years. Years ago I figured I had a good day if I leadered a fish each day out. Now I figure its more like an eat every other day and in...

Nice report. As for damn snakes, I won't walk where they hang out. Period. Pretty deaf even with my hearing aids (have been my whole life) and I wouldn't hear one if it gave me a warning buzz. Two years ago I was walking a shore line and out from under a hidden ledge a snake thrust out and hit...

Kind of what I suspected but appreciate the feedback. Back to one time use batteries. Thanks, Steve

I have this one with two battery cartridges. The batteries are rechargeable AAs and I don't think I get even 3 hours on a fully charged pack. Anybody have this issue? I bought a pack of non rechargeables to try next time out. Bottom line is I dont get a full day total using both cartridges with...

Caveat - I have not used a Garmin Striker so take this comment with a grain of salt. When my Fishin Buddy dies I will go with something bigger than a 3.5" screen. There are loads of fish finders out there now that you can pair with a small Li battery and get a better picture than with the...

I have no issue with these types of "trip reports". Just wish the OP would put NFR in the title so I wouldn't waste time reading them thinking I was going to see some fishing stuff on St. Bradon's Atoll.

Thanks but I need to longer 45" version to use for my Argentina trip. Going to take a couple of switch rods and they don't fit in the carry on version. Steve

Too much was made of Rose and his issues when loads of guys already in had equally bad resumes outside the game.

1. He's an arrogant idiot. 2. His interviews with teams went awful. 3. Take his Dad touting him across the universe away, and he was NOT that good at his QB job. No surprise at all he fell so far and now even stories going around that he might not even make the Browns roster. LOL

Anybody got one in good shape they aren't using?

Suck it Royals....lol. If you watched then you saw that Ryan O'Hearn hit one a foot below going over the fence. Would have been his second on the day and set the all time MLB record for 11 solo shots in a game instead of just tying it at 10. Gawd my O's suck.

TG series. Terrific cameras

You might consider a RIO Hover line. Sink just below the surface you when you strip you aren't leaving the tell tale wake on the surface. Now you lose any visual indication but I prefer the presentation and stealth this line gives me.

When it comes to wind prediction a marina owner in LA told me this a number of years ago and while he said it tongue in cheek its not too far off. Add the two number of the forecasted range and you'll get the real wind. So if they predict 5-10 then its going to blow 15.

Mike go back and look at post #21.

My Orioles SUCK. All I got.

Hard to quantify since you aren't seeing them side by side and really able to determine how well you detect the bites. But I will go out on a limb and say its substantially more effective. If I had to put a number on it I'd guess its 25% more effective. BUT that's totally dependent on the...

Report on painted indicators. Been out 5 times now using the oros that I painted. Fished a couple of those times with a buddy using factory colored ones. 1. The painted ones are easier to see. How much easier is subjective but its noticeable. 2. But this to me has been the biggest improvement...

Great report!

Spent the last two days fishing a couple of lakes. All floating lines and indicators. Guy had Garmin Livescope on his boat. First time I have been on a boat that had that. Didn't spend much time looking at the screen but when we stopped in a potential spot and scanned around for fish it surely...
