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

Thanks, can’t wait to drown ‘em.

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...

Anyone out catching any? I’m living vicarious at the moment but all winter Social Media has added extra envy for SR and Erie.

New group leader announcing tomorrow. Mass RIF next week it appears. I’m one of the few privy to the activities. Group leader role I turned down yet again. Think SVP level, I’m a bootstrapping dirt under nails type who’s refuted the ascension plan through 3 exec teams. More than half the...

Can’t recall if we had one last year at all. I hunted 6-7 2-3 hrs. Mornings this season. 3-4 new stands inside 30-75 yards on all sides of me. Drat! They finally found me…… After a guy came in near dark and sat in a groundblind I hadn’t seen (because it was in the neighborhood on a patio facing...

Haven’t seen water in months, that’s all to report 😂 I’m still kicking if there was any doubt. I don’t see a memorial thread yet so that’s good. 8 weeks of 20-24 hr work days without a day off. Finally called a cease hostilities and home finally.

Yep, preemptive strike or wishful thinking lol

Recap of latest I may have missed posting. I reached out on their phone line abd a helpful young lady told me I should’ve seen a response on the warranty in 2 days or less. She told me it was closing time but she’d have a warranty claim submitted in AM. I waited a week then emailed her. Somehow...

When I’m back from Wisconsin we leave for 11 days in Keys then 4 in West Palm. Since my trip expanded the extra days I was looking at travel rods. Wife surprised me by ordering one. I’m now trying to learn how to rig for big tarpon and such. I am ordering a reel and they can pre spool it...

You’d said 30 schloop max, how about a modern boat? Yeah, I’d have to settle for a life of ramen and no retirement. Oh wait, I am anyway, lol. Mama ain’t on board yet with cashing out all and sailing into subset, lol. Logan and I are working on her! https://amel.fr/en/amel-60/

So Don posted a link to NFC’s huge sale. If we get 10 they are $50 avg. even their $350-400 blanks. TS, if an unofficial Group Buy isn’t cool delete for me. Otherwise, all post-up their interest and we can see how far we get to 10. I’m thinking I’ll buy 10 solo if need be. Good way to jump into...

Lol, took my foggy brain to long to sort this out. Tiny star on one side of line. Any guesses?

So want to fix some cracked floats, etc. saw Duck Down advertises glow top floats. I’m always on edge of dark or in dark so would be handy. No experience with UV illuminating torches so wanting to stick with noght glow photophosphorous. See dry powder but not much for paint.

I waited 3 mos and no response on repairing my Premium rod, only need a guide, and anything that can be done with my Darling Imperial. Wasn’t holding out much hope on that one. I own at least 6 of their rods and started buying vintage ones as well. I called this week. I never ever call, I’m...

Supposedly second time in a week the 75 year record was broke. First one got fried so no proof. This one was almost 27” and 8 lbs a bunch of ounces!

Home this week but swamped. Next week in 3 states. Vaca the week after and I can’t wait to toss a line. My wife wants a few days of help in rental. Need to curb my list so I can catch some trout. Missed all Steelhead Fall/Spring and only have a few hours trout fishing. I need to get priorities...
