Gil, looks like the mask/balaclava I wear under my crash helmet during the cold weather.

Spkie,

Sorry to butt in, however I would go for a 9 weight if fishing for the New England stripers and blues.

When considering which reel to use for drag worthy fish I look at the reels that are used time and time again for catching those record breaking fish. Two US manufacturers top the pile; Tibor and...

Make sure you sharpen the point on the 34007's before tying. Few runs with a diamond sharperner gets them nice and sticky.

Got RPLXi's and Xi2's.

The Xi2 is a much better rod in my opinion, faster action and more power

Gil, I need to develop more patience. Since I've been yakking and fishing deeper water the flies and lines have been getting heavier.

Thankfully I have not clousered a rod for a few years now, but...

Great fly clousers, but watch your casting, especially when it is windy - they destroy fly rods.

Hi Johnny, My name is Jamie and I am also from MA - I wish :cry:

Welcome to the brine.

Seen plenty of people fishing the salt from a pontoon boat. Have to watch rust though, the metal frame is not really suited to the salt. Useful if you are handy with a welding kit.

As mentioned,...

It all depends on a number of factors to me. Usually I will try and get away the something like a 444SL with the 15' clear intermediate head. However; if the swell is heavy and towards the shore this...

How can I forget that shop near pleasant bay. Closed when the owner is out fishing. Name escapes me, but it is on the 28 from Chatham to Orleans.

Could also try Saltwater Edge on RI and my personal fave the Bearsden in Taunton, MA. A short drive off the Cape but well worth the trip as it is a fly only store.

There is also an Orvis dealer -...

Don?t get me wrong, I am a city boy. Born and bred in the suburbs of the greatest capital city in the world :twisted: . My parents though, came from the country, the wilds of north east Scotland and...

Just had a quick squizz using Google searching "kayak roof rack loader"

The Thule one is #847 Thule Outriggger it works on the same principle as the Yakima EZ Loader

There was one made by Thule. I heard that they discontinued it a year of so ago. I tried looking on their site but it is a pile of poop and I cannot get it to load properly.

I am using the...

Cannot decide between CI or Weipa next spring.

Budd,

They have a strap which lock the rod n reel in place. It is pretty secure too. Kept my Xi2 and Super 6 safe when I managed to turn my yaks upside down in the tidal races near the white...

I have found some great places to fish using Google Earth.

Dread to think how far I paddle in a day long session. Back in the late spring I did paddle offshore about 3.5 miles to some sunken mulberry harbours which they failed to raise for D Day in WWII.

I pretty much use this system http://www.anglersafloat.co.uk/Prowler_ ... rolley.htm

although I did not bother with the cleats and used a thinner line to connect to the wrong end of the anchor to...

Gerri,

For me it depends where I am fishing. If I am in the surf a stripping basket full of water is not only uncomfortable it can be dangerous; also if you are using a floater it become pretty...

I reckon Johnson Outdoors would make a good sponsor for this section of the site. http://www.johnsonoutdoors.com/

Scotty rod holder which proved it's value a thousand fold when I recently rolled my yak. When I righted it my custom Xi2 and Abel Super 6 were still attached.

Lowrance M68i GPS and echo sounder....

I have a few collapsible stripping baskets and in the scheme of things I find them more trouble than they are worth. I tend to try and perservere with my rigid LL Bean jobbie which has been around...
