I have had the same bakflip on my truck for 12 years. It is designed to leak a bit where it came with little tubes to drain off water. I can't say it leaks. It maybe dribbles. I never have a problem with the minor leaks even packing the bed wall to wall with gear and soft suitcases. I will...
I read a funny one. People get triggered over everything these days. Some girls don't date guys who have android phones. Some girls were complaining guys on dating aps posting pics of big fish they just caught. It average 1/10 men do this and 1/5 do this in Florida. I can see florida it...
You can strip in past the head and the cast out problem is caused by not having enough weight of line out. Do the perry poke cast or modification of it. Say 11ft rod, 6ft leader with streamer, 5ft of head out that 11ft in the water. Now just pull up and that 11ft will water load the line and...
The fatter the line the shorter it casts but superior line control and easier faster stripping. But some lines have different coatings and surface treatment to combat the fatness to a degree. The longest casting shooting lines are the thin mono shooting lines. They have strength and thinness...
I hitch eyed flys. I posted this on spey pages. It's another perspective on this technique.

I travel quite a bit and randomly fish when I can. I have used multiple states online purchase with evidence of purchase on my phone. No state DFG I've purchased from demanded a print version to be in possession. Each license is numbered and the warden can look it up in his database if he so...
Today I have not been in a state that did not have online license purchase. An example is I was racing at VIR last week. I had down time between races. I went online bought a 1 day license in 5mins and screen captured my license. I took my rod out and scored about 8 white bass in a couple...
If you have diet restrictions bring your own lunch. The guide isn't going to search for a sandwich made with boar's head cheader cheese because you are lactose intolerant. Research a bit on where you are fishing and discuss with guide beforehand how he plans to fish vs. how you might like to...
Yes I can see this is a complex topic. Thanks everyone for your posts. You can tell by my question that on the river I have always been a passenger and never a driver...but I would like to learn to drive.
I don't own a boat and I have never rowed but have been guided down river in boats hundreds of times over the years....so that's all I know. Drift boats and rafts are capable of having a motor. To escape the hassle of a shuttle why not just drift a river and motor back to the trailer? Or...
This video made by this group is doing the same identity politics they accuse the petroleum industry. They are worse than hypocrite they are disingenuous. They call out the petroleum industry like it is us against them. Let's assume the 2 projects the Indian commercial of the 70's and carbon...
I as pro-gun as they get. I grew up with firearms and if you have not then I would think 3x before going down that path. IMO everyone should learn firearm competency. It will take some of the drama out of the active shooter situation as in the ability to assess quickly what an armed person...
Any of you guys have a good NOLA fly guide for redfish? I'm going there in Mid- February which is a tougher time but I think the reds will be there or is it a waste of time?
