Sat morning from Ft Desoto, I caught a couple healthy Trout while wading this morning during low tide. Drifted on a flat I usually do good on and saw some big Reds, they were not moving much and wanted nothing to do with my lure. The Reds were all singles no schools. I was looking on my fishing log ...

I've been doing very well using Top water (skitter walker) lately. Of course this is before 8am.

Catfish and any type of common baitfish such as pinfish don't count in my book. I'd rather catch nothing then have to take a catfish of the line.

The 2000s require much more effort to maintain peak performance . I had my 2500 for 2 years and it feels as smooth as wh...

Eric said, Once we get through this hurricane, I will put up a post to see how much interest there is in putting together a rod building group/club. Really doesnt need to be big, but we could get together once in a while to work on a project and compare notes. So who all would be interested in this?...

I usually take 2 spinning rods, 1 is set up for top water and the other soft plastic. I use the spinning outfits to locate fish once I do I usually bring out the Fly rod that I store inside the Yak and wade with it.
