Throwback to some salty Sept silvers from SE AK on the two hander.

Thanks yall. Sounds like the 300g Commando pairs well with about 50-80g tips on the 5/6 Beulah.

Excellent! There's no substitute for real world experience. Appreciate the feedback.

Got a question about best tips to use with a Commando Smooth 300g on a Beulah Opal Surf 5/6, casting overhead. I'm a bit different from most of yall speychuckers, since I fish my two handers in the salty surf for surf perch, striper, and coho. Usually I use home made tips with Skagit heads on my...

yes, there is a 20/day rate plus .99/mile which comes out wayyyy cheaper than Avis for our planned usage.

Starting to plan a coho trip to SE AK in September. Been a couple years since we hit it just right. Stripers from the surf are fun and tasty, but I do miss those silver bullets right out of the salt.

thanks for your kind words, everyone. tight lines out there in the cold.

A couple years ago in Alaska, we noticed a uHaul van that was showing up around town at the fishing hotspots, and I realized he was probably renting it for road fishing instead of a car, because they're so much cheaper. Just wondering if there might be any restrictions on the use of it during a...

Getting back into it, as I'm now semi-retired.

"His group has found that migrating mini-jacks are occurring at rates 10-20 times higher than observed in wild populations. An average of 40% of the male hatchery fish never migrate to the ocean, but rather mature early as mini-jacks." This subject has always fascinated me. We used to fish a...

Greetings from down south in Cali. What is this "rain" thing of which you speak? I'm glad the creeks are full somewhere. Not here.

they won't because it makes too much sense, and common sense is the first thing out the window when it comes to corporate profits.

if you're into Texas alt-country--check out Ryan Bingham. he is also an actor and he plays Walker on Yellowstone.

If they will be released--I will tell them, I like your attitude. Keep eating like that, grow big and fat, see you next time. If they will be harvested, I always say this prayer: Thank you Mother Ocean Forgive me my knife Thank you beautiful fish For giving your life. Amen.

Tendency? Braid loves your rod tip like a python loves a rat.

That sounds good to me, I'll keep that offer in my back pocket for later. I've lived here in Osos for the last 25 years. Been perchin a couple times a week since I got here in 97.

Lee Baermann makes these down in Ventura area. He just came out with a new fly line as well, based on the Airflo Surf lines that got discontinued.

My wife and I love the winter Olympics, and we never watch any other sports on TV. Other than the summer Olympics. If you wanna stream it, a Peacock subscription is only $5/mo with ads. Peacock also has Yellowstone. :)

I fish for surf perch several times a week, but I'm way down south in the Morro Bay area. I don't know anything about your redtails, but our barred surf perch seem to like orange and red flies in size 2-6. I catch them on buggers, Clousers, and mole crab imitations. My favorite fly lately is a...
