I've fished Chetumal Bay quite a few times.  I know it well, but the Bones are small….

First bone experience for my mate, he was not disappointed.

Same here, It was where I caught my first Bonefish, and I went back probably half a dozen times….My first day there, I fished the whole day and caught nothing, but is was still (then) my best days fishing ever......

[hectic]

I can relate to that phenomena.

In keeping with the fkn small fish theme, Redfin perch caught this arvo on soft plastic:

One of my new "outdorsey" Lawtonian buddies informed me that he is a fly fishing instructor and loves tying his own flys. He has even created some pretty unique ones. I told him its something I've always wanted to get into, so he brought some things by and is going to give Lori and me some lessons. Thought G-San might enjoy this. I may have to get him some IH pants to replace the Duluths he's always wearing.

This one, made from deer hair, he invented and named: "lame perch" because it floats on its side like a lame perch.

This one he referred to as Mr. Deadly:

Mind you, this is the same guy that only hunts with an English long bow, and hasn't purchased "store bought" meat in over 5 years. He's also made his own buckskin clothes. He's going to teach me how to tan hide so I can get Nietenhosen some deer leather this season to make me a fat boy western shirt.

I need friends like Joe's…

A longbow?  He certainly doesn't take the easy route, does he?

[joesaintjohn]

Dude, he worked at a living history museum, and used to, key word: successfully, hunt IN BUCKSKIN!!!

This dude is a serious mountain man. I really enjoy him, and I think he's excited to pass some of his knowledge to an appreciative younger person.

More fishing eye-candy

I love this scrimshaw.

Anybody here do any Tenkara? It's a simplified Japanese fly fishing setup with no real. I'm thinking about getting a starter set and giving it a whirl out on the farm ponds and little creeks around Southwestern Oklahoma.

Yes.  D666 bought a rig about 6 months ago…..

Just got off the phone with him…I'm about to make a bad decision...
