Have you considered a feature that includes "Post to MyFlyVise?"

It's because you literally don't need it. We eat the largest meal of the day, sit down, unwind, and go to bed. We have calories to spare going into the next afternoon. Even those in the habit of eating in the morning will find if they don't start their day with something, they'll not be...

Totally nailed it on the day. Right after the full moon doldrums and right before the wind and waves party.

Black coffee and out the door. My local morning trips, I just don't take food. I'm usually back home by early afternoon and I have lunch. I love me some breakfast, but becoming more of a special occasion thing.

The boats I keep in touch with sounds like they did much better today.

I'm not aware of any such examples.

Hah, they could be. I also don't follow reports from anywhere north of Ilwaco or South of Newport (I don't really tow to Newport for Tuna anymore though either). So they could be plugging boats on the regular in NW Washington and I'd never know about it.

I think the experience with many here with an old forum is a good example. While not technically PE, the business model and overall process is essentially the same or similar.

A decent article but I found it a bit tough to read and the point they were trying to make got lost in there somewhere. At least for me. I did the lazy thing after reading and had the computer machine summarize it a bit for those who don't read the entire article: The basic idea is that a...

Even if they did, it wouldn't matter much with how private equity works. They want to cheapen product as much as possible to make profit number go up so it looks good in a portfolio when they sell again. That's all they care about.

In some categories. I also think Skwala is the other big one people are underestimating. Then Orvis, Dryft and others in the wader category. But in general, whatever Simms used to be the best at, there are several options now that are far more worth the money.

Simms won't be seeing any more money from me. After the private equity buyout, they aren't the same company anymore. Too many other great companies in the same business to bother with them anymore.

Getting annoyed now. After using it a few more trips, the 44 is growing on me. Is it better than the LVS34 to troll for salmon? I still don't think so. The simpler, clearer imaging on the 34 is still the better option I think. But I'm at least getting used to its quirks now. And I do still...

You're hearing the highlight reels. Reality is vast majority of boats are scratching a few out at best. Here was my validation yesterday (I called it off after prepping to head out for a Sunday tuna sesh)

This year is really turning into a bummer if I'm honest. Very little weather window opportunity, and very scratchy fishing. My first trip was an outlier on the season for sure. Been tough to be motivated to go again. I called off going today and sounds like I made the right choice.

Changes between each model of transducer. The LVS44 (the one in discussion here and same model I have in the classifieds) is the longest range one. The stated range is 250ft, but the reality is less. Effectively you could get things out to about 150-200ft I'd say. Closer the better, but I...

Not super worried about that currently, no. Sport anglers have quotas and they'll be met one way or another. We're still a drop in the bucket compared to the nets in the river and ocean commercial harvest... but, we're always the first to actually get our opportunity cut, so who knows. The...

If anyone here is ready to jump on the Livescope bandwagon, I'll be selling my LVS44 after removing it this weekend. I did a lot of smack-talking above, but it's the better unit for what a lot here would use it for. My application is niche and not what it's designed for... but having that...

Someone get this and do a full writeup/article please.

Evan B — profile After going through his profile, recent activity, older threads, trip reports, project threads, and the forum history, Evan B is fairly easy to characterize because the same personality shows up consistently. He’s basically a PNW fishing generalist, boat/gear tinkerer...
