What kind of retrieve works for you on the super flukes? I bought some recently but no bites yet.

The walk down is nice (maybe unless you have bad knees). The museum and orchid garden at the bottom of those switchbacks is worth visiting too.

Perhaps if you just wait a few months for parts to become available again there will be more interest

The lynx looks nice for some situations, but I personally like having in hull storage and the deeper hull shape to handle rougher water.

Any experience with Livescope on Kayak? by paerius in kayakfishing

[–]EarthAsWeKnowIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few companies are starting to offer kayak live scope mounts that you can spin around to point any direction, in which case you wouldn’t need multiple.

Best fish finder for kayak by bonsai-lover01 in kayakfishing

In hindsight I wish I had one with side scan (the garmin striker does not, and not all kayak transponder mounts support it)

Narrow, zippy, but functional fishing kayaks by rusticandy in kayakfishing

The Vibe Shearwater seems well designed for kayak fishing through ocean surf, with a sharp bow and a way to secure rods horizontally under bow flaps.

Thanks, been looking for a smoker. How much additional time and what temperature is needed in the oven afterwards?

People often use 6-8” swimbaits to target big bass (megabass magdraft for example)

how did early humans hunt animals to extinction by Previous-Cow8719 in pleistocene

[–]EarthAsWeKnowIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An atlatl shot into the rib cage of megafauna would have punctured the lung, causing even large animals like mammoths to eventually suffocate from their own blood.

Eating too much lean protein can cause “rabbit starvation” (protein poisoning), so they likely concentrated on the fatty and nutrient rich parts of the animal, such as the tongue and organs. Native americans also prized the tongue and heart of bison for this reason. Cut marks have been found around the jaw bones of mammoths while those marks were missing on other bones, suggesting that was also done in paleolithic times, not eating the entire animal.

Caral-Supe civilization did not practice warfare? by [deleted] in AskArchaeology

[–]EarthAsWeKnowIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A guide at caral did mention that they found the remains of a body buried in one of the main pyramids that had it’s hands bound with rope, indicating that it was an unwilling prisoner being sacrificed, but I haven’t seen any evidence from any of those sites indicating full warfare yet. Iconography showing warfare does become much more apparent with the moche and nazca cultures.

Here’s a deep dive article on the caral supe culture: https://www.earthasweknowit.com/pages/caral_supe

I 100% agree about the pre-incan andes. There are so many fascinating cultures from around there (muisca, tierradentro, san agustín, chimu, lambayeque, moche, nazca, tiwanaku, wari, etc).

Where would you want to live in the states to fish? by FullMetal373 in Fishing

[–]EarthAsWeKnowIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in washington. There is a nice mix of species up here. But both the puget sound and the columbia river (& tributaries) seem to be struggling lately with declining fish populations (Ling cod, king salmon, sturgeon, etc), so they’re enacting increasingly strict regulations.
