Episode ended righteously.
If it's appropriate for the case, we'd love to hear the list of charges.

Re: Redfish 10 skeg project - all done
This project goes back 12 years. The skeg is invaluable for solving windcock - keeping the boat nose downwind - and was a boon on this last-spring trip with Josh, letting me troll the wind and fish perfectly parallel to the bank without touching anything but my rod. https://i.imgur.com/K5Rh0Ky.jpg T...

Thanks for the detailed week-report, Jim. Also thanks for mentioning Chili Willie's - their onion rings are a food group - clone of now-defunct Huts.

Beauty trout.
That's still a legal bag fish - the new rig will be implemented "sometime late in March"

My buddy Steve has Revo 16 and Outback 12. I've seen him effortlessly rack the miles on two fall Redfish Rodeos in his Outback. In a 30+-kt blow that came up last day we were out on Lighthouse Lakes, first time my T160 ever lost to windcock, he rescued me off the mangroves. Outback gets my highest r...

Re: I sure hope this turns out the way it seems
The ones on sale are the USM FL version, JDM '19 - still great reels (labyrinth seals) and the only versions I own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kQ3lcs0A_8 I like having my Shimano worm-drive reels in the same series so I can swap spools, carry one loaded spare spool for all. https://i.imgur.com...

Yeah, I've seen guide boats stacked fishing the corners where Sailboat channel meets Brown & Root channel.

Re: Striped bass in the Hill country
My best striper fly was a cats whisker tied on 4x-long salt size 4, beefed up with saddles and a pair of marabou blood feathers for the tail. They would only take blend colors, grey and light olive, and only on a natural swing - couldn't get one to take a stripped fly. https://i.imgur.com/3YSzNN2.jp...

Re: I sure hope this turns out the way it seems
Since we're on Stradic, the only way to get saltwater inside Stradic is to dunk it for an extended time. Normal operation slings water away from the interior. Cheaper reels without labyrinth seals are more likely to get salt inside from spray. Gear wear, spindle stiffness, rotor wobble solved, Strad...

Re: I sure hope this turns out the way it seems
Hey what do I know. There's always a reel on my bench. I take '77 Ambassadeur, designed to fish 3/8 oz, and make them cast and fish 3 g just as far and more reliably (backlash-proof). They especially pay off for imitating winter glass minnows. https://i.imgur.com/yu1zaty.jpg ... don't clean the main...

Re: I sure hope this turns out the way it seems
If you want the full editorial, spinning reel is the most complicated fishing implement ever attempted. By design - really by lack of design - they self destruct with use. The extreme loads and moments produced by the long spindle and rotor were never understood - they were just built by trial and m...

Re: I sure hope this turns out the way it seems
Glenn, when Tackle Advisors reviewed '19 Stradic (FL in USM), he dubbed it, "The Best $400 Reel You Can Buy" (he's a self-admitted Daiwa fan boy, and rated Stradic over Daiwa Exist, taking them down side-by-side). In the lower grades, you'll get a stronger reel in Daiwa, compared to the lo...

Re: Trout on the coast
The important thing is that there is water, allowing the fish to move to safety.
What made the '21 storm devastating was a week of NW wind, isolating so many fish in the shallows.

Re: Jones Lakes 6-Jan-2024
My biggest fly rod red, 32", wading Fence lake, made me cast 7 times.
She scooted right past my feet and began grazing again upwind.
Not lining her for 6 casts probably skipped my heart beat a few times.

I was really hoping for that too. Or allowing 1 fish over 20” in the bag would be even better. There is still time! I wrote them about that specifically too. I put in a public comment exactly to this effect. This gives anglers the opportunity to harvest a mortally gulleted fish, whether male or fem...

Being there and ready. Congrats on the score, and thanks for the nice photos.
Next bucket list item, you might want a 10-wt, TS-350 sinking line (Backing), and some saddle-hackle streamers.
(it's just like catching white bass, only bigger)

Re: Christmas Bay 3-Dec-2023
Good food in Thailand.
Redfish are never the same. A few years ago, my trip fish was an 18" red, even bringing home a slot limit.
But the 18" red was crazy, fast, frenetic, running wide either side of my boat, and tough to bring to hand.
