Us working slobs live through you Dave!

Looks like Dave will be tellin stories and Parker is holdin up his reputation (best HO).

This ho's gotta at least try!

I'm not interested in hearing about any far off places. I go fishing to relax, and my experience isn't improved by either combat type fishing or extensive planning/traveling. But, I don't even bring a rod on vacation even if I know the fishing might be good due to the extra planning/logistics required.

I suppose I'm in the minority.

You get an A for effort Parker. I think you should go, your damn good with the camera.

I like seeing the pics and hearing the tales. Post some of the before and after fishing shots too...
I fish on most of my vacations even if it's just screwing around with the kids.
I've been lucky enough to fish a couple of far off places and like to see pics from places I might never go.
Dave...you posted on another thread about a fly reel. I used a Billy Pate down in Belize and really liked it. They are expensive but nice.

Seastrike: I have a Pate Marlin and an Islander MR2 that will be my fly reels in Panama. But they are too big and bulky for the 8/9 spey rod I'm gonna buy as soon as I get home.

I have taken sialfish on both of those reels, but have yet to cast to a marlin. I'm not sure any reel is enough for a big marlin. I hope to never find out. I'm not into three hour battles.

I look fwd to hearing the stories!
ps I'm about full of blackberries we need some rain so we can go pick some Chanterelles.
I'm about ready to start packing for my elk trip though it's seven weeks off.
Give em hell it Panama.

I just cant put down the steelhead rod. The farthest fishing trip ive been on is to the OP. Salmon, Snook, bonefish, marlin, barracuda, whatever... They dont do nuthin for me, i need stories of winter steelhead past and February Natives that strung you 2 miles down river before throwing the hook. Pictures of black back chrome. I need help...

However, throw some string clad Senoritas into whatever you post and its all good with me

I need to read something besides the drivel the rest of us come up with.

Post away.

Post it up!

It ain't braggin' if you can do it.

So, where's the negative dribble about self-promotion from DoubleHaul and the rest of the Homeboys?

And bring us back a treat!

Its a land slide!! Guess your posting..lol

Okay: I leave tonight and will post lots of pix when I return. I don't think they allow photos in my favorite Panam City bar but will try.

That tune would change the instant a 5 pound bonefish grabbed your fly.
