Counting the days till I can fish. 5!

Is there any such thing as a decent VHF radio for under or about $100?

If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck. Seems like every year, for the past 7 or 8 years, every time a bite develops in either the spring or fall, I get locked out of the action by family matters. I hope you guys catch 'em up good. I'll be out there by April 30. Mean time, for me it's only .

Does that have an open bottom or is it sealed?

Fairly sure. I held a tape measure alongside it and it seemed to be 1". It's not my boat but I fish on it often and my spot is the forward of the console. I need to have a place to hold my second rod while fishing and to keep it handy when running in the bay.

Is the bottom of that open or closed?

Title says it. I want to buy two (2) clamp on rod holders for the 1" bow rail on a 17' Mako. Don't want to spend a ton of money. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks in advance. Spig

WOW, what a steal.

The rocks are a dead giveaway.

IBSP has been so spotty in the past few years that there is no way to say when is "best" time for anything. You just have to drive down and take a shot. Hopefully we will see some bluefish and bass down there in the next couple of weeks but no one can tell. Drive onto the beach, fish holes and bring binoculars to spot birds. Good luck.

I was waiting for that!

Looks like it's time to make the doughnuts. Thanks MC.

I've have an Orvis Ultralight for several years now and use it as my primary fishing top. Love it. Dry and plenty of pockets to keep stuff.

I just slow down my fly casting in fresh water. Lighter rods just don't have the power of say an 8 wt NRX or 10 wt H2. Each rod has its own particular casting style. Just got to learn the curve.

Thank you sir. What is the body material?
