I thought the same thing. He’s probably dying to get his name back out there one way or another…

Sammy, is that really you Mike? Hahaha

Here we go again

12lb mono works great throwing lucky crafts. I throw them on conventional bass rod. No problem with distance on any jerk bait style with weight transfer system.

One of my buddies exclusively fishes big halibut on 6-12lb. He has countless fish over 40lbs. on 12lb. Obviously those big ones are not surf.

12lb is strong. I always fish new mono. Using braid or mono for backing ; 1/2 to just under 3/4 of spool so fresh line change doesn’t break the bank. Try ...

Bait caster all the way. To each their own. Never had any distance issues except one time at night fishing the run and the wind was ripping so hard, even a heavy crocodile was flying backwards…it was comical.

You could be the first but rhino lining is starting to cover all kinds of things. They do the tops of rv’s now and include lining all the plastic housing on the top. Might be pretty awesome to have them do the bottom on your yak? I had some pretty deep wounds in my hull from beaching it on shore ...

They rent a room at the dam keepers house

Savings going straight to hillcrest

Braid vs rock > rock usually comes out victorious. Especially on a fish that has shoulders.

Politics and fishing go hand in hand but we can’t talk about politics…woops. The majority got what they voted for. LMAO. Better think twice when going to the box and not circle that bubble based off emotions.

Lake Morena. Rattlers are out. Be careful

A lot these lakes around here weren’t open to the public for a very very long time. Wouldn’t be surprised if that happens again. It’s all about the alphabet club, making our streets sexy and other related crap. I never knew potholes were sexy.

The ones you have to walk in camo through spiderwebs and brush in pitch black without ever shining a light all night long.

Wow! GREAT fish. Congrats

First, people complain there is no more space to build, there’s a housing crisis.
The bill hasn’t passed so everyone needs to relax. Crying about a lot of land none of you will ever step foot in or intended to but when it may be sold or is gone, will cry about.
If it ever does go for sale, it’s ...

They don’t wave a giant flag for everyone to see either. Lmao

Ah the Krocodile…..Baja staple. I like them when the surf is mellow, if the surf or currents are ripping, they still work but you can’t get that consistent sweet spot kick. I like trebles on the small ones either a feather or blank. Chrome with the chrome foil is my favorite. I’ll like j hooks on ...
