How much from he wheelz?

How about $140?  They're the originals but in great shape, not used very many times.  They've been hanging in my garage from my roof for years.

It's time to simplify and get rid of some things.

Fishing Gear is used but pretty well taken care of:
  • Shimano TR100-G  - $50
  • Abu Garcia - 6500C3 - $25
  • Shimano Baitrunner - 6500B
  • Shimano Cardiff - 300A
  • Scotty Thingy -  Free
  • Okuma Catalina -  $50
  • Ugly Stick Tiger BWC 2201 -  $40
  • Shimano Talavera -  $60
  • Jackson Cuda 12 - Orange
  • Original Wheeleeze
  • 3/4 oz bucktails - I have about 40 of them, maybe more - $2 each

I also have dive gear: suit, masks, gloves, snorkels, weights, fins, dive gear bag/backpack, etc... if anyone is interested, it fits an XL.

I also have way too much tackle and more rods, if you need something just ask.  There's some chance I might have it.

Non fishing gear:
  • Beer Brewing Equipment - including 5 gallon kegs
  • A small freezer - It's about 2' Long X 2' Wide X 3' High

For pictures see: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAUXPX.  If there's anything you're interested in and need a pic just let me know.

Prices are negotiable.

Here's my ask because of previous bad experiences.  If you decide to buy:
1) Let's settle on a price and stop negotiating
2) Local pickup only - I'm in Mountain View
3) I doesn't matter to me which NCKA Express driver comes to pick it up for
you

This looks like it would be a fun adventure.  I might have to check it out.  Thanks for sharing.

thinking about putting a trip together to take my 10 yr old up the week of October 16.  Not sure if it'll be fishing big water or exploring primarily, but there will be some element of fishing involved.  If we go, b great if you'd join

Let me know when you're a bit further along on the planning.   So long as there's a possibility of targeting a halibut I'd be into it.

General Talk / Alaska trip recommendations or tips?
« on: March 25, 2023, 02:40:29 PM »
What’s up everyone? 

I’ve always wanted to fish for halibut in Alaska and i think this is the year I'm going to make it happen. 

I’m looking for any recommendations you’re willing to share. Charters, hotels, or all inclusive lodges… i’m undecided which route to go.

I see crackerjack in Seward has high recommendations.   

Is it best to take my own gear or use whats available on the boat?

Any info would be helpful.  Or if you're going and are looking for someone to fill your private charter, i might be down for that.

Here are a couple I tried tying up tonight.  They're a work in progress but they're coming along.

Here's a purple "egg sucking leech" tied on an AHREX barbless #2 size hook.



I should have cleaned it up a bit more before the pic.

Al,

Let me know if you want me to tie something up for you.  I got a lot of different materials (it's amazing how quickly they accumulate) and it would be good to recover some of the expenses so I can buy more. :smt001 :smt001

Thanks DavoG!

Agarcia, I'm back!  Kind of like being single and ready to mingle but instead I'm just about married and I want to kill fish.

They say that if you want to hear god laugh, you should tell him your plans.

Long story short... I went through most of my career without a degree... god got a good chuckle out of my plans.  But getting it was near the top of my todo list and now after nearly 4 years of late nights I can finally say I have a Bachelors degree from Penn State.  I graduated on Dec 18th. Maga cum laude at that.



So anyway, that's a major part of the reason that I've been absent for so long. That and the girlfriend hovering over me with that "When are we moving to Texas? You promised!" stare.

A few months ago, as things started winding down and I was able to start to have a little more time to do things other than study I decided I was going to take up fly fishing.  Shortly after I remembered that I had a fly tying vise in the garage and now I think the actual pastime I've taken up is fly tying and not so much fly fishing.

I quickly learned that although an expensive vise is not required, having a cheap one makes tying pretty hard sometimes.  I upgraded from a cheapo vise to a Renzetti Traveler, it's not the highest quality vise but it's made life easier.

After tying quite a few small trout flies and becoming somewhat proficient and not really using them much I decided to tie some that I could use in the salt.  First up was my attempt at Kelly Galloup's Belly Bumper.





Art and I fished them a few times with a decent amount of success.

Now I've been wanting to get out after some Dabs and decided to tie up some that I hope the fish will be somewhat impressed with.

Here was my first attempt at replicating the packaged sabiki's:



A little variety:



But then I dedided to kick it up a notch by using some Marabou:



Then came these...




And these...




Now I just need to wait for an opportunity to use them.
