    What's in your vise?

    I experimented with circle hooks quite a bit years back when I was spending a fair amount of time chasing lings on the sound, but eventually moved away from them.

    How are you storing/organizing your (flat) materials?

    Bad outing for FlyFish Dan

    Little Update

    Im installing a walk through egg detector at the top of the ramp down to the docks. Similar to a metal detector at the airport it will insure no God forsaken pickled eggs make it anywhere close to me down there

    NFR Places to eat after (or before) fishing

    My family has always enjoyed it. Its been a fair while since I've eaten there since I can't really eat a lot of what they serve anymore, but their El Cubano sandwich with a blackberry shake was always a favorite of mine
