Bob,
I think that's an excellent point. I wish I encountered more people like this on the saltwater, but I don't. Amazingly, with far more water to fish, jet ski, sail, putter around in power...
Sometimes, it pays to read the posts and details of where the poster lives, etc. when trying to comprehend their reply. Dunfly lives in a gulf coast town in FL known for it's excellent middle-class,...
I have yet to catch a fish, tie a fly, or anything else via the Internet. It's just another way to access information, entertainment, and communicate with other people.
Folks who believe they...
You would be amazed what would happen if you went to get in that line you mentioned. Those new vets...some missing limbs and some in wheelchairs...would make sure you got in line in front of them if...
Yep. I understand your medical condition very well. Your detailed diagnosis and mine aren't that different, but yours is more severe. The nerve impingement and chronic pain, loss of control and...
Wait just a minute. You asked about getting a longer rod. You can buy a good Tenkara rod for $60-100, and a line is less than $20. I fail to see how that would ruled out based on price when you...
Go over to the Tenkara forum and begin researching this style of fly fishing. Forget the Japanese aspect. Fixed line, long rod fly fishing has it's roots in centuries past in cultures of the...
We really have 2 choices when it comes to this topic: C&R or no R, just C. Fishing isn't going to stop. We're certainly not going to advocate it! The issue becomes, then, that fishing with the R...
That is pretty much the average going rate for a full day saltwater charter these days all along the Gulf and Southeast Atlantic coasts. The range is $400-600, but about 95% fall within $450-550. ...
Hmmmm. I think I'd have to cover that bad boy in Rhino Liner and some cool laser cut graphics then. :cool:
It's easy if you just save up the money you normally spend on $13,000 Hardy fly reels. :D
(now you know where those Wall Street bonuses go)
CR is supposed to be great for tarpon in turbid (read: muddy) water, and some excellent permit fishing in spots. I don't know what else they've got, probably some bones, too. Plenty of...
I'm no expert on this, but I fish with a guy who is. It is entirely possible to fly fish for billfish from the same boats used for sport fishing tackle. They put the same downriggers out, etc. and...
Yep, this is where I jump in and steal that puppy. Not! I mean...I would, but I don't want to spend 500 hours keeping it shiny. :D
Once you get it polished up that way couldn't you just get it clear coated? ;)
Bob,
Key West is tough to freelance, especially without at least a kayak and good local area knowledge.
There is a great MWR facility up at Marathon Key at the USCG station with bungalows and...
Well, I think that settles it then! Hardy is just missing the boat. They said people aren't willing to buy high-end, big ticket sporting goods items during this bad economy - especially in America,...
Well, I guess we know where all those high-dollar fly fishing equipment buyers that Hardy says they've lost in this bad economy have gone. They're over at Orvis bidding $80k on a 50 year old travel...
Thanks. Fresh water fly fishing gets overlooked pretty mightily in FL these days due to all the media hype and marketing focus on saltwater fishing. FL has an incredible abundance of terrific...
I'm a Contributing Editor to Florida Fly Fishing Magazine, and an author recently sent me his new book on fly fishing fresh water in central FL to review. I didn't publish a review on it because the...
Dave E,
I merely said I wouldn't point to Hardy as an example of how great a company is doing after being bought by an investment firm when they just laid off 27% of their work force. I do know...
Ummmm...Hardy just laid off nearly 30% of their workers. So I'd hardly point to them as a shining example of how well they're doing. And we're talking about the Abel that was owned by Bernie...
The wife and I went to Wal-mart this morning during church here in GA (when nobody is at Wal-mart) to get some art and craft supplies and a few grocery items. We didn't get shot, tazed, pepper...
I've been living with PTSD for decades. The symptoms don't get less severe or go away. My ability to manage the disorder has improved over time. There are good times and bad times, and the...
