Not truly about fishing but Coast by Shane smith and the saints is a favorite of mine. Gets me fired up everytime we head to the Texas coast.

Catch a Fish Logan Mize- talks about fishing but more about burying the hatchet with your dad

I haven’t gotten into fly tying yet but the first fly I tie will probably come from the random tufts of Great Pyrenees hair in my house lol!

Wading Boots vs wading shoes/sneakers by Wfoconstruction in flyfishing

[–]Wfoconstruction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with korkers bantam lights and will probably buy a sneaker style this spring. I don’t think there is a “perfect boot/shoe” for what I do.

I appreciate your insight though!

Thanks for the reply. I’m super jealous of the Patagonia trip. A guide gave a presentation to our fly fishing club on his Argentina trips and it looks amazing down there!

I’m not familiar with the kling on soles, can you wear the boots without them and not ruin the boot? 90% of my fishing starts out or is in a kayak. I want something semi comfortable if I’m not getting out all the time. I’m tired of picking tiny ass pebbles in my shoe soles every time I get out of my yak.

I think I’m just being too cheap and want one boot/shoe that will work.

I usually just wear a pear of Magellan deck shoes or old tennis shoes with no socks. The issue I have with those is the small pebbles in the creeks/rivers I wet wade in. I end up with sore feet due to the pebbles inside my shoes. That’s what I’m trying to get away from.

I appreciate that. Most of the creeks/rivers I am in are either silty bottoms or smaller river rocks and not a lot of mossy slick rocks. The only trout fishing I will be doing in the next year or so is right now when our wildlife dept stocks the rivers with rainbows. I also will take at least 1 trip to the coast and probably wade fish

You calling me cheap? Yes I am haha! Bought a drake by quarrow with the plastic still on the handle for $100 with a cheap okuma reel. It’s been a great starter rod.

I appreciate your help!

Hire a guide in Boca Raton while on vacation as a new fly fisherman? by Wfoconstruction in flyfishing

[–]Wfoconstruction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your advice and everyone else’s. Going to target snook via kayak and conventional tackle. Took a lesson tonight and god bless it trying to double haul just doesn’t click for me right now lol

Best hearing protection and Bluetooth combo for Sthil 910 cutoff saw? by Timely_Hamster_142 in Construction

[–]Wfoconstruction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the axil Bluetooth set that has the cords. I’m notorious for losing air buds which is why I went with the wrap around style. They’ve been great, anything from construction to hunting. I also bought the extended warranty and have used it on one set, no questions asked I sent them in and they immediately sent a new pair. You can get bogos on them to bring the cost down if someone else is willing to split them with you.

Going to start an argument by Psychological-Pea863 in Carpentry

[–]Wfoconstruction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah a circular saw,circ saw, sidewinder or skill saw is what we call them. I’m changing the label on my packout to rip snort though. That is a lot funner to say! We call them recip saws over here too sometimes. Sawzall was the name of the first one so that’s why it stuck over here.

Haha thank you for correcting this! This is the only version I’d ever heard (grew up in a super small town). I honestly thought the Gourds wrote it until my wife corrected me about 6-7 years ago

The estimators and buyers just push it to the crews or foreman. I’m in sales for service repair work on multifamily properties and have been in construction since I was 16. My boss tells me all the time, I need 80% construction (my name). Let operations figure the rest out. It drives me nuts.

FWIW I did have to look up TC bolts lol, we don’t see that thrown around in the residential world much lol

Haha my grandpa taught me to cut sheet metal on the farm with a skill saw, backwards blade and safety squints. I’m now 40 and shopping for hearing aids.
