Yes, still here in Florida, fishing every chance I get.  Mostly out of the kayak.  Nothing like going on a sleigh ride behind a big red.

[Bob Riggins]

Is this THE CARTER.

[Bob Riggins]

Its hard to go wrong in that area.

[Bob Riggins]

I’m willing, but I’ve got to warn you, I only tie BIG flies and I don’t follow directions.

[Bob Riggins]

I would have to say I like your landscapes and streamscapes the best.

[Bob Riggins]

I have the same question.

[Bob Riggins]

I started with the standard overhead cast, but after a couple of seminars with Lefty, I gradually changed to a style more like his (although I don’t think he would agree that it is a style, but a technique for certain situations).  I also have a little Chico Fernandez thrown in.  

I agree with Zach, you should think of them more as techniques than styles.  When I’m out on the flats I use a side arm “Lefty/Chico” technique, but its not appropriate for fishing small waters.  Then I usually revert back to the standard overhead.

At some point you have to start thinking about developing techniques appropriate to the situation.  When I’m in the kayak I cast with one technique, wading another.  I even have a backhand cast that Lefty taught me for situations in which you have to hit holes in the flora behind you on your backcast to get a decent cast off.  Now I even use the backhand cast for situations when I have a strong quartering wind from my casting side.

Got mine in today.

Gheenoes are great boats, but they are seriously expensive relative to other alternatives.

I got in from Oakland about 1:30 this morning.

[Bob Riggins]

Actually you question should be “Do you know anyone who needs a good fishing guide until I can take the Georgia Bar?”

[Bob Riggins]

I have one of them and it is very nice.

[Bob Riggins]

The short answer is – yes.

[Bob Riggins]

I agree with Zach on about everything he has said, although, I have a slightly different opinion as to the function of the haul.

[Bob Riggins]

I don’t know about the fish, but I have to use bright colored lines to see them.

[Bob Riggins]

In looking at the list of people buying shirts, it becomes obvious that you have a lot of heavy weights frequenting the board.

[Bob Riggins]

I’ll take a XXL.  I like the burnt orange color but I think I like the light color with the natural fiber better.  Being a University of Memphis grad, I’m out if it is that obnoxious UT Vol Orange.  I’ll have to send you a check.  I don’t trust Pay Pal.

[Bob Riggins]

I would be interested.

[Bob Riggins]

In Florida, and I assume all saltwater fisheries, guides must have a captains liscense.

[Bob Riggins]

There is not a direct link from a web site.  I’ve posted a link in the forum on paddle-fishing.com several times and have told people about it.  It’s a great site for beginners.  I particularly like the stick men.

Paddle-fishing.com is a local kayak fishing site that is pretty active.  They even set up a separate forum for fly fishing.
