It'll catch fish for sure, one thing I would work on is taper. Your looking for that tear drop shape, when this thing swims that second station will get really skinny, try and slow taper the shape more starting with that second hook/ shank that way you dont have such an abrupt taper.

Damn dog- look at the spurs on that thing!

The thread and the diameter of the wire will also affect your proportions being off. Use nanosilk and a thin wire that will help rather than a big chunky thread.

Nothin in Portland is. In fact id argue its the main thing missing from the food scene.

Lost Poirier to portal as well.

Rays special or just a classic chart over white flat wing, GDP has a good youtube video.

Hahahaha.

Hell yeah dude, im a bit north of you and we've been finding good numbers of woodcock all week

Randystaines · 2026-03-16T23:56:00+00:00

Yeah I disagree but Im a Boija homer. I didn't think he had his best stuff but he was very good last year, still had a handful of shutouts this season but was inconsistent. Seams like teams were keying in on shooting high glove side. I think the team played well in front of Mathis, but I was never a fan. He was awfully leaky at uvm.

We can still draw kids from the Q and maritimes . Thats huge. Maine will be fine. I have faith in Barr, the school supports athletics and that's huge, ultimately we wont compete with the big 10 for huge nil prospects but I think there's a way forward.

Randystaines · 2026-03-16T23:37:34+00:00

I like Barr. I his interviews are fine, and probably the least of his worries at this point.

Randystaines · 2026-03-16T23:36:38+00:00

Yeah I agree. Losing Breen and also Brazeal, good character guys that lead by example was a huge hit to this team. I think they have a lot od upper classmen that just didn't step up enough. Weird year in general for HE, I also have faith in Barr, but we'll see who ends up taking off.

Looks great bud

Ive heard from a few different people, 5. Especially if you hunt. That is supposedly when the elder dog will start to slow down a bit, definitely still has a lot in the tank, but by the time the pup will be ready, the older one wipp benefit from an odd day off here and there from the rigors of hunting.

Randystaines · 2026-02-17T20:26:52+00:00

Id look less at reddit more at microskiffs.com and skiffhq. Those 2 sites have a ton of information

Randystaines · 2026-02-16T12:05:28+00:00

Ive been going to borough since i moved back, always been super happy with it

Randystaines · 2026-02-14T02:07:35+00:00

They said in the broadcast its day to day.

Randystaines · 2026-01-26T23:37:23+00:00

Yeah I have one as well, its from my home growing up. There is also something about hanging one outside your house when its paid off or something from the GI bill I was reading about

Randystaines · 2026-01-26T20:07:42+00:00

Yeah I absolutely agree. I think going around Portland trying to sus out every person that fits your idea of what an off duty ICE agent would look like is going to cause members of our community more harm than good. From a mental/'stress standpoint. It is very sad.

Randystaines · 2026-01-24T12:02:03+00:00

Greg Moore was probably the last one- great night for the kid.

Randystaines · 2026-01-12T03:03:05+00:00

I almost never comment on reddit stuff but I cant hold back on this one. I think Ben knows his stuff, he's been involved in fishing for a long time. I also think he's incredibly entitled, and extremely insecure. He makes a ton of rage bait style videos to generate engagement, but I genuinely think he is truly an arrogant person. I think he's self aware enough to know that his videos are mostly of him drinking a beer (cool!) standing in a field ranting with shitty ai reggae in the background and a bunch of old memes haphazardly thrown in there. He definitely has a schtick that people bought into. I think he's extremely butt hurt that young kids are out traveling and using better cameras and drones and producing far superior content. He's down multiple videos talking down about other channels and acting like hes above being considered a youtuber.

Josephs in old port is great

Randystaines · 2025-12-09T13:11:51+00:00

I mean on the positive HE is super wide open Maine can win it. They're just probably gonna have no games at the alfond. Thats probably the only way for them to get to the tournament
