I don’t care about the specifics of the location, I’m pretty sensitive to brain-rape myself, but I do have a few more questions about them.

Were you sight fishing to them?

Were they holding in the current or were they in the calmer shallows?

Thanks.

[Carter Simcoe]

Hey Tom, if your still around, what do you know about the fishing near the west side of Maui?

[Carter Simcoe]

Interesting.

[Carter Simcoe]

you can spend money on strong jaws or you can spend money on do-dads and gadgets.

[Carter Simcoe]

I kind of like Team Zissou.

You can resize it if you want though.

[Carter Simcoe]

really though, if you can (not sure exactly how much pain you are in) just go outside and start casting with your left hand, just pinch the line, don’t bother hauling with your right arm or anything.

[Carter Simcoe]

did you sight fish to that catfish?

[Carter Simcoe]

buy a 7 wt rod.

[Carter Simcoe]

Consistently catching 3 lb smallmouths with pike cruising around does sound more like 7 wt territory than 6 wt.

[Carter Simcoe]

Yeah, that Australian thing does look pretty sweet.

Kid-
I personally wouldn’t waste my time with anything in the $200 category, but you have allready heard my recomendation.

[Carter Simcoe]

how big are these fish?

[Carter Simcoe]

I honest to god have had someone ask me to do that for them once.

[Carter Simcoe]

If only I didn’t have that blasted court ordered breathalyzer attached to my ignition, its okay my electronic ankle braclet probablly won’t let me get far anyway.

[Carter Simcoe]

What kind of Kayak?

[Carter Simcoe]

yeah, but I’ve got to go renew my registration first.

[Carter Simcoe]

(Sorry guys; inside joke)

ha ha, I’m pretty sure

[Carter Simcoe]

Well Steve is a cop.

[Carter Simcoe]

sorry to sound like a street pharmachist but, yeah, those sound like Vicoprofens which are probablly pretty weak (under 10 mg of hydrocodone each probablly).

[Carter Simcoe]

I tore my right rotator cuff in a wrestling match with a drunk.

It wasn’t me was it??

Hey Steve, haven’t seen your name in a while.

[Carter Simcoe]

I’ve never replaced my Apex Anvil vise, never had a reason too.  Great for what I tie (mostly large baitfish flies).  $100 msrp, comes with a base and a clamp, lifetime warranty……….  I’d just get that and be done with it.  Never found a hook to big or small for it to grab hold of and when its all tightened down nothing budges.  Been using mine for several years now, not a single issue.

I’ve spent thousands of dollars on fly tying buts its going to take a lot to make me buy a new vice, and ‘they’ have tried to sell me everything under the sun.  I’ve tied on almost every one of the major-player’s vices, nice stuff all around, but just not that much better for what I’m doing.  Maybe if I was doing small, complex trout flies……….  It will definitly get you started, if not more.

I’m pretty sure it was Zach who recomended it to me back in the day.
