For $28, why not? Abu makes quality products.

...or maybe the bird was telling you to use him as bait...you never know what a bass will eat on a given day.

It's the same thing at one of the lakes I fish at, but only thing that I can think of that might do it is that a decent amount of chemicals are put into the lake.

Maui Jim is where it's at.

Looks like a nice set-up. Good luck.

Hmm...well not many people can tell that story...but at least you learned a new fishing technique.

If it's working, why change?

Nothing wrong with that fish, keep it up.

Haha, I meant to catch it, sight fishing in a shallow canal.

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. And a cuda on fly? You must of had to strip fast, and lucky it didn't bite your leader in half.

Thought I would share this... After much practicing in the backyard to learn how to fly fish I went on a trip to Stuart, Florida and caught my first fish on fly and my first tarpon. Nice jumps. [ First fish on fly!

www.nativewatercraft.com http://www.hobiecat.com/kayaking/index.html www.oceankayak.com/ www.wildernesssystems.com www.heritagekayaks.com/ All very good kayaks. And a place that I go for my kayaks and accesories is http://www.paddleva.com/ Very reliable and in the Richmond area.

Honestly, I would get a kayak. The fishing club I belong to is about 50 yards away from the Hugenot Bridge. My dad and I take our kayaks out almost every weekend and it is some good fun making the drifts down the river catching the smallies. They have kayaks that are rigged for fishing and you can get them fairly cheap and you can customize yours with a lot of accesories. I have an anchor, rod holders, paddle holder and a drift sock. I have even seen people put fish finders on their kayaks.

I am purchasing a new reel and rod soon and my nearest tackle shop has a Daiwa Steez on sale for $250, a 200 dollar discount. I was wondering do you all think it would be worth it to buy the Steez or http://products.gloomis.com/gl/products/alltackle/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441761005&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302032505&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181201&bmUID=1214432664728. I will be getting the Shimano Core for my reel, but I am having trouble deciding which rod to buy. I felt them both with the reel on and I am leaning more towards the G. Loomis, but the Steez is such a good deal. I am mostly jigging and throwing plastics...any ideas?
