I’ve been reading “Simple Fly Fishing” and it makes a pretty good point for why some gear is so expensive and silly… So, you might say I’m somewhat sensitized about silly gear prices at the moment. A certain kayak fishing site which I keep meaning to unsubscribe to recently was pimping a pair of fishing …
Neptonics (my favorite source of bespoke spearfishing gear) has a new product destined to be in everyone’s tool bag if they’re out to catch pelagic species like Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna… Throwable flashers and they make all kinds of sense. Brilliant in fact… For more information check out the Throw Flashers on Neptonics.
Our go to gaff aboard “So It Goes” is a commercial halibut gaff which is pretty common on the west coast… They’re available in sizes ranging from about a foot to a yard or more in length. For our boat, 24-inches is just about right. The other sort of gaff I’d like to have aboard …
Where fishing and spearfishing are concerned, I’m just a little bit compulsive about following the existing fishing laws. Of course, down here in the Caribbean that is not always easy… For instance, whenever we clear in to an island we always ask where to find information with the rules, limits, and information on seasons for …

I’ve seriously been considering a new fly rod or two and while there are no shortage of excellent rods out there, not a lot of them call out to me with come hither voices of silk. Part of that I think has to do with a certain lack of attitude… A rod for saltwater needs …
Back when I was a kid, my brother and I started our version of a lemonade stand… Since we lived on Catalina, instead of making lemonade we did the next best thing and started catching fish for salt-water aquarium folk. As things go it was actually a pretty successful business enterprise for a couple of …
Simply awesome stuff… Gat Ku
For me the whole secret of tying flies on a boat in somewhat limited space is organization. Regal in my view has always built some of the best fly tying vises anywhere so hardly a surprise that when the do a travel kit it rocks!
Having all the bits you need to support your spearfishing habit around So It Goes is always something of a problematic affair. I keep meaning to build a small dedicated tool kit for rigging my spearfishing gear but it’s one of those jobs pretty far down on the must do list. Of course when I …
