    Ive killed one bird dead at 65 yds with my Stevens 301 single shot 20 gauge. The Indian Creek choke and TSS is awesome.

    It can get a surprisingly tense in the final moments, trying not to get busted, but also take a good shot. No jitters in tight corners with my shotgun, it is very easy to miss with a fist sized pattern.

    Looking for advice on two handed beach rods for Baja

    Im taking my 5/6 Beulah Opal2 on our trip to LA Ventana in early June. Love this rod for OH . Its my go-to pike rod lately. Im not too concerned about it technically considered under sized versus the 8 wght. These are very strong rods.

    Annual favorite fish of the year thread.

    The memory of this pike coming out of the dark, weedy depths to smash my bunny fly. I'll never forget the look in the fishes eye. A first Goldeye on a fly..
