Funny, that was the plan with the 11’ when I had him done.

Drove back to PA from West Palm Beach. Checked in on taxidermist who was MIA and got my gator. 11’ “monster” next to the 2022 once in a lifetime giant. No comparison and pics don’t show the size difference well. 2022 would’ve eaten the 11’ whole

We decided that Sunday to drive to northern VT. Bino pics didn’t show the pink halos/bright spots. 15 hrs driving on a whim lol.

Factory pics, Hoping I win the CZ/Huglu lotto with the wood, we’ll see.

Not fishing related but my wife won 2 of the days lotto December gun raffles. Rather than two small pistols I took store credit and ordered an O/U for my son and I to try. Never owned one or shot one. Never bird hunted really or rabbit but might be fun. Not a Beretta Pigeon but I think it’s a...

No warranty since not made for US market but it was open box and priced right.

Travel medium caster, ordered an Ambassador 6601 to match that’s coming Tuesday.

A-5 says they’ll bite anything if it’s in the right depth/zone/current matching 😂 Actually I’m pretty sure if he’d thought like that he would not have designed a few hundred varieties of steelhead beads!

Thanks, can’t wait to drown ‘em.

That little Trib is deceiving. Just crossed again after dropping rental. It’s crystal clear and looks really nice. I always catch a ton of Brookies in that big pool but almost never fish there. Might have to fish anyway. I’m starting to think about all the chores that are waiting and my only 4...

Ehh, water back in trees in town. Maybe not worth it to fish tomorrow. Maybe I’ll just walk the small creek the co-op stocks. They don’t stock for opener so maybe not great. I’ve 2 gun coupons my wife won back in Dec so least I can get those.

I got home tonight and doesn’t look as bad as I thought on Brookie Trib to Lehigh I cross next to house. Lehigh looks a little high but haven’t looked closely at it. Might take 12 yo out or skip it. Went to grab my usual shiners so I’d feel obligated but place closed at 4 today.

I’ll probably go 300 and use my medium/large spinning as the loaner. Or if I don’t like someone loan them my tarpon/shark spinning setup!😏

Just in one situ and it’s not a recurring one. Most I’ll get in spillway should be smaller species like pompano unless I hit an odd bull shark but then it’s over anyway.

I was thinking a 100 but wasn’t sure if that would be too little line for fish like steelhead or drum. I’ve other options for those though. Big one is drag to keep fish out of boat blocking rope in spillways. I’m not sure if larger size equals more drag though. Salt it won’t see much so if...

Tried Lake Worth pier as I think I posted in the daily catch photo thread. Cowfish and my colleague lost a monster permit or something like it. The spillways are full of all kinds of interesting stuff. Snook, pompano, freshwater fish spilling over, etc. My travel rod was way too large for...

I’ve a few spey style short shooting heads for musky sized stuff. Like 6-8wt range. I think the one is a 250g commando skagit maybe. Was too heavy for me and still too long. I made my own with flat taper thanks to advice here. It finally broke my poor attempt at a loop with the shrink material...

Glass too on that trout rod! How do you like it? Heavy? Extra soft? Never tried one beyond spinning rods.

This time of year, get the first boats hitting Browns. Lots of fun and if you’re out there early in season there’s no one. At least my single trip out on the lake. I usually fish the creeks.

Heading to NY Monday for 5 days. Might change again, had 7-9 days blocked initially. Not my preferred week but worked with schedules long as I forego sleep. Land Sunday night from OH, drive up Monday AM, home Friday, up to north of NYC with In-laws Sat/Sun, out that Monday for 2 weeks of work in...
