Awesome advice, thanks for that! Also appreciate the reel suggestions. I was looking at a few in the 6500 to 8000 range, so that helps knowing your personal experience.
From the Outdoor Industry Assoc. 2022 report:
The 2023 Special Report on Hunting and the Shooting Sports provides a comprehensive look at the more than 14 million Americans ages 6 and over who participated at least once in hunting with both firearms and archery equipment in 2022. The report...
That I am not 100% sure about. When I went, and was spearfishing in particular, I speared about 4 fish one day (triggerfish and 3 small snappers) and fishing from the beach kept a few pargo and threw back a bunch of smaller random fish. All roosterfish get released.
That would likely be a...
I will check out that reel for sure. Appreciate it!
Regarding the rabbit hole question, on the regs/license side, I have used sites like this: https://app.sportfishingbcs.gob.mx/ppd/system/. to find the right permit.
One nice thing in Mexico is if you are fishing from the beach or accessing...
You are on the right path for sure. I am a fan of a release with a strap for many of the same reasons, and I really like having it right there when I need it, regardless of if I am glassing, ranging, etc.
Yep, every release can be adjusted, but on the Carter release, the tension range goes...
Take a look at the Quick Attach Zoid bags for internal storage/organization. The clear sides makes it easy to see your gear. You can fit two in the 75 or 100 and I think one on the 50.
Get a Carter Like Mike II Index Finger Release. The amount you can adjust the tension is awesome. It was the fix for my target panic, and is so well made. You can also be sure you will never ask about Cam again and a release. Just a thought.
Hey all of you saltwater drinking fishing legends who crush big fish on surf casting setups. Can you part with some knowledge on a solid 10-11' surf casting rod and reel with the intent of targeting 10 to potentially 30 or 40 lb. fish?
The family and I are headed back to Baja this summer, and I...
Two is one, one is none? Is that how the saying goes? I am a big fan of three, yep, three truck keys. Not getting home after a hunt won't be due to a lost key....that's my OCD kicking in I guess.
Also, I passed over the "BornPrimitiveTactical" too fast.....what in the absolute shytebag is that? I am envisioning a caveman wearing a molle-covered loincloth toting a spear with a red dot on it....
Can every hunting influencer just take a friggin' break from soiling everything good and...
No kidding!
Greenhorn should charge for hunt planning and logistics, I think there is a "Free to a good Home" tent somewhere, and I may offer up my bridge repair services to round it out.
I started scanning this 18 page post a bit ago, then became too pissed off at all of it to finish. Well, it is Monday, I wasn't able to get out on the opener, and am buried at work waiting for this coming weekend to chase deer and elk and fill some tags. I am in a curmudgeonly mood, one would...
As others have mentioned, EE makes awesome quilts. They have really perfected the shape, weight, warmth, etc. and it is pretty cool to be able to call them up and talk with some good folks out in MN, yah, yah betcha.
Their stuff is the most used on big ass hikes like the PCT and AT...
