  1. Hello folks, I wanted to share my experience with a made in America - small business product. I bought a small jig bucket from "The Jig Rig" online store. I accidentally ordered two. I emailed JP and he responded and took care of it right away. Shipping was fast. It is well designed. It's light, strong, and uses space very efficiently. I built one many years back. Between the time, effort and materials, buying this pe-made jig bucket is easily worth the price. I especially appreciate the drainage holes to easily rinse the gear after a messy trip. I recommend this product. Respectfully, JD
  2. Wow I love this thread. Everything looks amazing. Seadog I’ve got to try this last one. Looks delicious! Best regards, JD
  3. Thanks. I didn’t think so but wasn’t sure. Best regards, JD
  4. Hello folks, I just bought a Calstar all fiberglass rod. This seems like a silly question, but I’ve used rods w/ some amount of graphite for a LONG time and can’t remember using an all fiberglass rod. I’ve been told that fiberglass rods “ break in” with use. To be specific, it was told that it will “soften up” and gain recoil”. Like I said, it sounds silly and unlikely, but I have no knowledge of fiberglass or experience w/ these rods. I’m hoping someone who knows can weigh in on this please. Thank you in advance. Respectfully, JD
  5. Thanks, Yes I've had papusas, mostly bean & cheese. Good stuff. I wound up making yellowtail ceviche. I used jalapeños, red onion, green onion, cilantro, mango and of course, lime. Served along side fresh roasted tomatoes and chilis molcejete salsa, charred pineapple guacamole, tortilla chips, esquires, frijoles a la Olla, Smoked brisket chili, and grilled smoked chicken thighs. No one went home hungry. Best regards! JD
  6. What a beautiful presentation! Looks amazing. JD
  7. Hello friends, I'm hosting a men's fellowship lunch. As a nod to local North Sand Diego County local culture and to those in attendance, I'm doing a Mex - Poly fusion. I've had Poke nachos in restaurants and really enjoyed them These were all Asian - poly themed - flavor profiles. I want this to be Poly-Mex and would like your input please. I'm thinking cubed raw bluefin tuna and California yellowtail (jack not Florida snapper), tossed in Kikkoman poke sauce with finely dice sweet onions, placed on top of corn tortilla chips (as opposed to the traditional fried wonton chips), garnished w/ chipotle mayo, shredded cabbage, chopped green onion and jalapeños. Does this sound like a good plan? Any other suggestions, ideas or experiences? Thanks in advance! JD
  8. Yes I saw that recipe. It looks good, I’m definitely gonna make that soon. Do you have any pro tips for those of us who’ve not made it yet? JD
  9. Hello Butch, Been a while. Hope you and yours are doing well. I did some and must agree. Baja style and they were really good. I did offer a variation for those who like a little heat. I added some slivered fresh jalapeño to the slaw and some chipotle to the crema. We’ll be doing that again soon. Looking forward to a deep water rock fish trip in MX waters latter this winter. Prefer those to use those for tacos over yellowtail. I’ve got to admit, I’m really digging the boat fishing scene here in SoCal. Thanks & best regards, JD
  10. Hello all, I was gifted a handful of chilies at my local nursery. I believe the orange ones are habaneros. I also believe that small green one is either a Serrano or a pathetic jalapeño is that correct? Also are the red ones Thai chilies? Finally, how can I preserve these so I can use them at a latter date for chili or roasted salsa? Thanks in advance! JD
  11. Hello folks, I was lucky enough have a couple small bluefin tuna. They’re portioned out, & vacuum packed. I have a “new to me” Traeger Jr Elite pellet cooker. I want to smoke some tuna as an appetizer and to make pasta / spread w/ cream cheese. If you have a smoked tuna recipe that you like that would work for this please let me know. Thanks in advance. JD
  12. Hello folks, I'm not one to badmouth, though I wanted others to be warned. Calissa Offshore website has some nice looking gear. I fully intend to make a purchase. I had a couple questions and wanted to reach out to them. There was no phone number to be found fro them or the LLC - holding company that owns them. They list an email and have a contact form on their website. I reached out to them 5 times in as many days through their contact form and their email. I received no replies. I was still kind of tempted to place an order because their rolling tackle backpack looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Was also going to get a couple jigs and try their swimmers. I didn't because I have no confidence I'd even receive my order, let along any kind of support of they were defective or damaged. Heck, I don't even know if it's a legit business or website. If anyone has any further information or recent experience with Calissa Offshore I'd sure love to hear it. Respectfully, JD
