Grand Isle is not a bad place to use as a base for fishing reds for sure. Personally, I prefer the area between south of Belle Chase to Venice, LA. I think you have a lot more options on water to...
Hello all
It sure has been a long time since I've been active on FAOL. Life was just way too busy and stressful and I was not able to keep up with things on FAOL. Hope to have a bit more time to...
Just a heads up that I have another Partridge of Redditch Split Cane rod I'm looking to sell. It's a 2-piece 9' for 4WT. It was used a few hours for a photo shoot and that is all the action it's...
For the record, the 34007 is NOT discontinued. This is a very popular hook and you will not see it going away.
The 34011 is indeed discontinued. It was dropped around 2 years ago. Replacement...
Mustad does NOT make the Cabela's brand hooks.
Good looking flies TT. They should perform well.
I have found that you just cannot beat bunny flies. I chase pike here locally as well as way north in Canada where the monsters live and I have...
outstanding crabs bfw. Very nice!
I think I've used just about all of the brands/makes out there and settled on Seaguar. A few things to consider. Seaguar actually invented fluorocarbon, so they have the most experience with the...
Hello luckie88
I saw what was about to happen and knew if I didn't throw it, I would have broken off the fish. I knew i'd recover the rod, just was not sure the fish would still be on the line. ...
It's back up now, sorry for the trouble. Thanks to all for the kind words. I still have goose bumps : )

I threw it willingly to hopefully keep the fish on. Didn't drop it. We'd rather be luck than good anytime : )
We were on a very large flat with less than 30" of water so I was 100% confident that we would recover the outfit. I was less than confident though that there would still be a fish attached to it...
Just to be clear, based on some questions I got, the rod did not slip out of my hand. I made the split second decision to throw it when the line came off the deck all tangled. We were on a large...
OK, video back up now

Hello All
Sorry about the video mix up yesterday. The crazy Permit video is back up now at the following link

The 3 of us on the boat that day still...
Very sorry but had to pull the video at the request of a production company who wants to use it. Those of you who got to see it, I'm glad. Those that didn't see it yet, sorry. Hope to get it up...
OK, so if I tolk you fellow FAOL'ers the details of a fantastic Permit I caught on the fly last month you would most likely not have believed me. So, I now provide proof of what will likely be my...
The saying goes something like . . . "when life gives lemons, make lemonade."
Well that is just what we did yesterday. I had a day to fish with my buddy Capt. Rich Waldner and the weather was...
You should check out the CS45BN as well. I much prefer the CS45 over the CS43.
Trip sure warmed my bones up Ray. We've had a long, cold and very snowy winter so far. Thawing out a few days was a welcomed change. Back to freezing cold now as I'm in Beijing, attending some...
An 8lb bass is a great fish!
So many trips over the years with high winds, cold temps and dirty water. Guess I paid the price enough to finally have the planets align and give us an incredible stretch of weather at the...
Good for your LF. I was just invited there to join a group from Norway. I could drive to Toronto and fly out of there and then come home via Toronto BUT I know it's illegal so I declined even...
The point of my post is simply that an American magazine that is printed for a US readership ran an article about a place that is illegal for American to go to to fish. That is what bothered me.
