Re: Handheld VHF Radio Advice

Most hand held VHF radios only have 5-6 watts of transmitting power. Unfortunately this means you have an unobstructed range of 5-10 miles. Where you can receive Coast Guard or weather transmissions from hundreds of miles away, that does not mean they can hear you. In order to extend your transmitti...

Re: Trophy-sized sailcats!

Another great day on the water!! While I too catch a few fish that are not my target species, it is great to get that pull on the line. I'm sorry that I don't have any TT strategies for you as I am not very good at targeting them. It's that old dog new tricks thing. :smt009 :smt005

Re: Looking for dock pilings @ St Mark's

Have you looked into PVC (filled with concrete) ? I am not sure if it is cost effective, but it might be more durable and more readily available.

Re: April 6 and 7th

It's like that sometimes, but I always enjoy being on the water and seeing the sights. I'm glad you were able to get out and catch a few. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Re: This forum is dead

My buddy and I went out Sunday 3-31. We launched at the lighthouse and went to a couple of creek mouths. The water was flat calm and 65 degrees. We caught a few fish before the tide made us move out to the flats. We found trout in 4-5 feet of water. They were aggressive. After about 20 trout and a c...

Re: Reel/Rod Maintenance & Repair…

For general maintenance I recommend a good rinse of the rod and reel with fresh water after each trip. Follow this up with an application of a salt removal product, (salt-away, salts-gone, salt-off...etc.) and then a final rinse. Go ahead and cut your leader or lures off. Crank the handle to spin of...
