Went out on a Saturday morning. Even though my buddy and I started out VERY early, a series of mishaps kept of from getting on the water before sun up. By the time we started fishing the fish where...

Hello everyone,

It's been a very long time since I have posted on this site. It's no coincidence that it's also been a long time since I've been fly fishing.

Some years ago I moved away from...

Hi everyone,

It's been a VERY long time since I have posted here. Hoping I can help some.

Orlando Outfitters is definitely the place to go. They have great staff who happily share their...

If you get into spanish mackerel my suggestion would be, long shank hook, fly tied low on the shank, flashy and (most important) disposable.

If you get into macks you will need a good number of...

A recent edition of Florida Sportsman magazine has an article on just this very topic. I'm pretty sure I've already given that issue away as I recently unloaded my accumulated back issues.

As I...

If had the time and money for that type of trip I would definitely take you up on it Jed.

Unfortunately there are too many things that require my attention before I can splurge on a fishing trip...

You bet. Now, I know you would never ask Gary, but I'm bringing it up.

What should my "donation" be? I don't know how much it costs you to make one of these trips happen so I'll go by what you...

You got it Gary. Just tell me when and I'm in.

Great story Gary. I was reading and thinking "why does this sound familiar to me" when I realized that you told me this story on our drive down to the fish-in in Venice.

Still a great story...

Well, the last time I was in the salt you where there Gary.

I'm hurtin. I even have that great new (to me) reel and I havn't had a chance to try her out.

Hey Flats,
Good to see you finally got your boat. All in all your shake-down trip does not sound bad. Not bad at all. After all, there was catching involved....

Gary, I'm not surprized one bit. You and Linda are as big-hearted as they come.

Congrats on getting a new boat. Can't wait to see her.

Ed

That's great David. Certainly the kind of day that makes it all worth while.

And kudos on making the best of a difficult fishing area.

I can't say much about the issue other than when I do fish the boo rods I have I really do have to make myself slowdown quite a bit. It requires a rythem all of it's own.

I have a SB 359 - 9 with a burgundy plastic reelseat. While I can't guarantee that the wraps are original they seem old enough to be.

They are solid "rootbeer" to echo Vocelli's description.

Ah, yes, I forgot to mention which flies. Dudley has correctly divined my intentions. It's the Jedi-like presence all fly fisherman eventually develop.

Yes, simple is good. It's by no means the...

Hi Chris. I'm definitely no veteran, but I do own just about every fly tying material known to man.

After investing thousands of dollars on every shimmery, fuzzy, clicking, fluttery thing I...

Job well done Griz-man. As a long time web professional I didn't read your content, but instead focused on the design layout. Impressive... I know many seasoned designers who have never made a...

Diane & Ken, Les & Judy, Phil & Michelle, Gill, Dave, it was a pleasure meeting all of you. Look forward to doing again.

Although next time we should consider inviting some fish too.

That's awesome Gary, but what's with the new BlahBlah 9wt? That new reel isn't makeing you feel all upitty now is it? Jeeze, just when I find a down to earth fishing buddy he goes and gets "Uptown"...

I'm sure you're right Ladyfisher. I guess I'm a lttle anxious about meeting my friends kids and want to make sure they have a good time.

I'll be sure to report on what I find.

Thanks.

Thanks Gil. I was just looking at the Clearwater beaches web page (very nice) and was thinking about heading to Honeymoon Island. The thing is that I'm taking a friend and she has two young kids. ...

I'll be in Clearwater this weekend and have never fished there. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

Boy I tell ya, I havn't seen the board this excited in a long time. Who knew it would only take the prospect of me in womens shorts to get you "pirates" so enthusiastic.

A little strange if you...
