jbdba01, I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we'd really, really, REALLY like to have you put a video up with you doing the poon dance.

If you could do it backwards and just wear one glove, I'm pretty sure it would go viral.

At some point in paddlefishing, you are going to think that you are losing your freaking mind. You'll get skunked, and skunked again, and skunked until you think you will never get UN-skunked again. You will have changed your spots, tried different tides, changed your bait/lure, changed your retriev...

Shame on you, Dave. You were supposed to save that cigar for AFTER the fat lady sings! ^o^

Congrats, guys, but there seems to be a mixup. *I* have the two most beautiful granddaughters in the world. It is, however, a proven scientific fact that the granddaughters of paddlefishermen *all* tend to be extremely beautiful *and* bright (as opposed to the inbred offspring of, say, drunken skido...

Glad to hear you're off the binnacle list, brother.

Finally! An American presidential candidate who speaks for the American sportfisherman! Last night, at the annual meeting of the Bloodsucking No-See-Um Coast Paddlefisherman's Club, guest speaker Smedley J. Pudwhiffle not only announced that he was throwing his hat into the ring for 2016, but laid o...

Just a couple of miscellaneous easier-ways-to-move-around-in-the-water tips/riggings: 1. I see occasional questions on various forums asking about towing single or multiple kayaks behind a mother boat, and one of the main complaints is stern-snaking or skittering (where the stern of the towed boat s...

Never fish Ozello. It's terrible. The waters around there are almost completely devoid of fish. The launch areas are terrible for kayakfishermen, you have to paddle many dozens of miles to reach any kind of decent fishing areas, and the entire area is overrun with jetskiiers, waterskiiers and giant ...

Gotcha, Bugman. They must have done some Thanksgiving-style carving on you. I wore out the t-shirt from THAT club. Yeah, the loading/unloading, cleaning, etc., is a bugger when you're on the injured list. We're all pulling for you to get better, buddy. Hey, you know what would make a cool topic? May...

When the bad heat sets in, or the wind's up too much, I tend to spend less time on the salt, and fish quite a bit in a one-mile radius or so of the confluence of the Withlacoochee and the Rainbow, usually launching well before first light. Good wind shelter in SOME places, and a lot of pretty mean l...

Bugman & Rik -- Always sorry to hear from paddlefishing compatriots that they're also suffering from musculoskeletal problems. My old man was half right when he told me, "It ain't the miles that wears you out, bub, it's the sudden stops." Now, well into my geezerhood, I'm pretty sure i...

There's nothing like a good rigging hack. But, let's face it, the glory days of "low-hanging fruit" are largely gone. (Crates, trolleys, fishfinder hacks, etc., have almost been done to death.) Rigging posts over time have become a lot less frequent, but discussion and idea exchange are th...

Studies conducted recently show that, since 2000, the average human attention span in developed countries has dropped from 12 seconds to 8 seconds. (On average, fish are believed to have a nine-second attention span.) The studies conclude that "more digital lifestyles" are to blame. At the...

Looks like the site has been hijacked by those encrypted-for-ransomware scumbags. Hope they had everything backed up.
