I swear the Gulf hates me. The only thing I can apparently catch is the back of my hand.

Hey Bill, thanks for the insight...
So if you don't care, a couple of questions: I have fished in front of the coast guard station before, so I'll definitely try there - I'm staying on Okaloosa...
Dear Choctawhatchee Bay experts:
So I just hit Ft. Walton Beach yesterday for our annual week long family vacation. I always bring my Ultimate 12 Kayak and 8wt and bay fish (Haven't caught a darn...
Just emailed you. Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm heading to FWB (Okaloosa Island) for the first week in October. What's the fishing like that time of year? It's been 3 or 4 years since I have fished in the bay, and I consistently...
Thanks everyone.
I ended up going with the Headwaters waders. I decided that the upgraded materials and fact that they're sewn in the US was more important to me than the zipper.
Jeff
Thanks Spyderman for your opinion. I'm definitely not getting another pair of baileys though. Mine have leaked for 5 of the 7 years I've owned them - Now days I'm an occasional fisherman, so I...
Hey folks,
I need new waders, and I've narrowed it to two: the Simms Freestone Zip and the Simms Headwaters (non zip).
I am replacing a cheaper pair of Dan Bailey waders, so either one is a...
So after an absolutely disastrous trip to Cape San Blas last October (caught zero fish and broke the tip off my 8wt) I'm headed back this year to Destin and will be staying at Destin West Resort the...
For sale or trade for an 8wt reel:

"The Orvis Guide to Reading Trout Streams" by Tom Rosenbauer. $12 shipped CONUS only.
PM me here with...
Well, that was a bust. First trip to Florida in years where I didn't catch a single fish of any species on the fly rod. And, I broke the tip off of my 8wt to boot. Wish it was my TFO 6wt - this...
Removed the 9' 8wt as I broke the tip off of it yesterday... :-(
Montague Clipper is now sold.
I bought the rod under the guise that it was perfect and never had any issues, When I received it, it had signs of a repair (and intermediate wraps added) that showed themselves in a nasty kink in...
Hi everyone,
I'm landlocked and normally chase trout and stripers here in TN, but this October I will be at Cape San Blas for a week of relaxation. I'll be bringing my 8wt and my Native Ultimate...
Just a bump. Some interest, but nothing solid. I'm geting desperate to find an 8wt trade for my trip to Cape San Blas in October....
I'm definitely interested. Another forum member was kind enough to take me out on Choctawhatchee bay a couple of years ago, and I was able to use his 8wt DFR on some ladyfish. I really loved the...
Some photos of the bamboo rods are up. Working on the rest...

Boy did I mess up.
The Southbend that I listed as a 59 isn't... It's a 24.

Hi everyone,
I'm in need of a new 8wt (well, I don't NEED it, I want it though) and I have an abundance of rods that just don't get used.
Here's what I have on the block. I will work on photos...
Well, I didn't catch much, but I had a blast. West Pass was sealed off, so there was no tide. A local said it was the first time in 6 years that enough sand washed in to close the pass. They had...
Fantastic boat. VERY stable. I stand to sight fish in mine all the time. It's a little wobbly at first, but once you get your legs, it's super easy to cast standing.
The 14 footer can be...
Duncan,
Have you fished the waterway that connects Little Lagoon with Shelby Lakes in the State Park? I was looking at the satellite image and it looks to be perfect for a Kayak and impassible...
Thanks for all the great info Duncan. Last year I was in Destin, and was fortunate to be taken out on a skiff at night with Capt. Paul Darby who put me on some ladyfish. I LOVE catching them!!! ...
