Low Tech Silvers

by Rob Endsley 25. August 2010 12:51

With a silver run that's triggered more than a few suicide watches here in Craig the past few weeks the phrases "You can't miss!", and "They were everywhere!" more than jossled my interest when I heard them. Two of the fishing nuts that stay in the RV ... [More]

Mustad Surestrike Scent Capsule

by Rob Endsley 21. June 2010 14:57

I've ran magnum hoochies on some of my meat rigs for halibut fishing for a number of years and they work great. The problem with these big hoochies is that they are big enough to totally cover the hook, so spacers in the form of big, glow-in-the-dark Corky's are necessary to put some dista... [More]

Alive and Well in Craig, Alaska

by Rob Endsley 12. June 2010 04:01

It's been a whirlwind since I left Washington on May 24th for my annual journey to Southeast Alaska where I run saltwater charters for the summer. The drive north this year was easy and thankfully uneventful. I did run into some wildlife along the way, including this good sized black bear that... [More]
