You weren’t wrong to be annoyed, it sucks when oblivious people blow up your spot. But the damage was already done once the dog jumped in the water, so a confrontation doesn’t really fix anything. Better to just grumble to yourself and motor off. As Sartre said, “Hell is other people.”

Can someone help me ID this bird in my garden?

This is basically pornography for @Stonedfish

I don’t think that fish left any shrimpy stuff for the rest of them!

I’m not a great judge of soil but I did note that there was some gravel in the load I got last year too. Still seemed better than the bagged stuff available at the store though. I’ve been a little leery of tagro in edible beds as I’m uncertain of what traces of pharmaceuticals etc. remain in it...

I’m planning to install a couple more raised beds this winter. My experience with establishing new raised beds is that it takes several seasons for the soil to get productive. I typically order however many yards of organic garden soil I need from a local landscape supplier (Walrath), which is...

That’s nice to hear. I got home from Westport around already dead tired, helped put the kids to bed, and set up my vac packing station. I trimmed the bloodline off the first loin and was like nope, this is happening on an individual post freeze basis for these other bad boys…

I’ve always said that having kids is fishing’s equivalent of an ACL tear in other sports. Yeah, you might rehab and eventually make it back onto the field, but you’ll never be the same athlete you were before.

They were around the big beach again, although more sporadically. I went 1/4, cookie cutter caught, two brutes lost after long enough fights to make it truly disappointing. Watched @jasmillo and @Kfish drift smugly by in a watercraft at one point, I bet they did ok.

2/4 for me in a quick morning session at the Big Beach, one unclipped released. Lots of catching during one particular window, all looked fairly cookie cutter size including mine, no jumbos (“should have been here yesterday” for the 8lbers was the chatter, but that’s always the chatter). The...

Make your own hootchie using short bits of flashabou and trailing octopus hook, works well behind a buzz bomb or rotator, and it’s basically flyfishing

Americans will never achieve those waist measurements. We’re all carrying handguns that add 2-3”.

Steve describes it better than I could in his report in the other thread, but to summarize, moderate swell + moderate perpendicular wind waves = kinda corkscrewy

But every time I talk to her about my 12wt she says, “sweetie that’s a 3wt and you know it”

Honey, my 12wt says it needs to go to Belize

“If you give a mouse a cookie…”

Less abridged report, 9/1 out of Westport. With apology for lack of photos - @Cabezon will probably post a few. I jumped on an open seat with @Cabezon when he posted it a few months ago. Got great deals on new to me (hell, basically new in general) 12 wt rod and reel (thanks again @Evan B )...

23 in the boat, 3 for me, 1 on the strip which was a goal of mine. I’ll post a full update as soon as I can!

Shh, guys, some of us are tuna fishing tomorrow
