Happy New Year to all. So how was the surf meb ?

I want to go fishing .

Bob, hope that you are feeling better.

That was hilarious , as soon as that guy started running his hands up that rod it was over.

Looks like it may be an immature Bald Eagle or an immature Golden Eagle . The light blotches on the wings make me think it's a young-un , Red tails don't get much bigger than 22-23 in. tall. Me thinks it's a Baldy. What does your little friend have there , I think I see 2 duck feet there but the pic...

Sure, marketing is hype. You take it with a grain of salt. I mean really, what is any company supposed to say when they launch a new product " well here it is - it's an alright rod - it feels kinda o.k ". Bottom line is you don't know till you cast it if it is legit or just marketing hype....

That was great. Thanks for posting it.

Once fly rods pushed over 300.00 I basically said poo-poo to that. I went about 20 years with out even sniffing a new rod. I figured that my casting flaws would not be fixed by spending alot of money on a fly rod. I was right on that one - I can throw just as bad a tailing loop with a sage one as I ...

Horse * . Thats just way too much work. I mean really -you gonna do that all day long ? Actually it would be fun to watch them do all that stuff with a good wind blowing. Just my 2 cent's.

wow , that's one icky looking bug. I think that I am going to have nightmares about that one.

Both of these come with me when I fish Crowley. I set up one with a 200 grain 25ft, sink tip and the other w...

I think what you really have is riverticulitis, which is caused by not going up to the east side often enough. Crowleyeculitis is associated with what is ailing you and if you are not careful Chuck this will turn into Mcgeenungitis or worst case hotcreekulitis. Dear God I hope that does not happen--...

Sounds like a plan, will be in touch as sept rolls around.

Mike

I can't help it , it's what I do, and I do do it well. I had planed on going up the second or third week of Sept. on a fish / mtn. quail trip. May have to adjust to check this out, depends on Crowley.

Oh, O.k.
