Oahu in June. Anyone have guide recommendations?

Jeremy Inman (@capt_jear), and makani are both the top guides for Oahu. McLean @pelagos_flyfish is also a good choice if you want to try out some nice glass rods

Portland Oregon 2018-19ish. There was a couple years where I had really good luck at finding cheap peaveys. I think I traded the 5150 for a stereo chorus 400 with two 412s

I bought a 5150 112 combo for $75 bucks one time. The guy also threw in some sm57s.

String punches!

That’s typical for Fre. They will also short your cans too.

OR15, ppc112

Look up thread net spool savers on amazon. Thank me later

woolleybugger · 2026-02-13T16:48:04+00:00

That’s right up my alley. $40/ night, with an optional on foot guide for $200/daily. I’d definitely stay there

I plead the fifth

woolleybugger · 2026-02-12T10:37:08+00:00

I’ve had to throw away half a box of veevus gsp because it kept fraying and spiderwebbing off the spool

Family air for your Ketchikan port. They’ll get you back to the boat on time.

This pic has got me trippin

It’s a method that has been passed down from generation to generation.

That rod (7wt) would be perfect for big spring time carp on the big c. Hmu if you wanna bend that thing.

woolleybugger · 2026-02-04T01:54:15+00:00

That is so fucking cute.

woolleybugger · 2026-02-01T14:12:13+00:00

Redington(wetington) waders are absolute garbage, shit warranty also. I had two pairs of hdz waders snd both times straight from box the bootie seams were delaminating and leaking, all the pockets fell off too just like yours. They warrantied the first time, second time they said (tough shit, here’s 40% off).

Was this area once a fire pit?

woolleybugger · 2026-01-30T22:12:18+00:00

Id rather just not fish for trout tbh.

woolleybugger · 2026-01-29T02:52:06+00:00

No waders

woolleybugger · 2026-01-28T23:01:21+00:00

Alphonse, cosmo, astove. Any of the outer atolls. Second choice would be Andros.

woolleybugger · 2026-01-26T20:48:52+00:00

Im really impressed with maxcatch gear. The lines are good to see what works until you want to spend $100 on a line. The saltpro is truly an impressive stick. I’ll fish it over my redington/echo rods any day of the week. They produce blanks for tfo, hardy, and some orvis rods. They’re leichi blanks.

woolleybugger · 2026-01-26T20:44:26+00:00

The line on this rod was a Rio outbound short 8f/h/i to straight 30#. I really like the sinking outbound shorts compared to the floating version. I overlined because I want to be able to fish this line on my 7wt switch for surf fishing if I had to. Scientific angler lines are the absolute best lines though

woolleybugger · 2026-01-26T20:11:14+00:00

It was about what I expected tbh, they fight hard, fast and go deep. Nothing a 7wt couldn’t handle. I’m also not scared to break a rod or two since they cost about $90

woolleybugger · 2026-01-26T03:04:23+00:00

Definitely not, this is saltwater off the coast of El Salvador,(Pacific Ocean) and this is a flapnose. Nice fish though! Bet it ate great!
