Re: What color reel?

Re: What color reel?
Silver is most traditional and looks great. Black avoids glare that may scare fish. Gold looks like you hang out with the Orvis crowd. Orange is obviously immoral and a felony in many states. And...

Re: Camera advice

Re: Kayaks.
They sell many more kayaks to fishermen now than to kayakers. Fishermen seem to like sit-on-tops about which I know nothing. But I do know about sit-ins of which I own four. I recommend that you buy...
