The American Shad – St. Johns River, FL.

Capt. Willy Le — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:02 +0000

Everywhere that I’ve lived in my life, I was at least 30 minutes away from the St. Johns River and I keep hearing about the Shad run that takes part every Winter and Spring but I’ve never went out and tried catching them until recently. My buddy Dominic Agostini invited me to join him on [...] Related posts:

Lithionics battery, Epic Battery break through

sam — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:23:03 +0000

This sounds too good to be true but finally a new battery technology that is ridiculously lighter by 4 to 7 times, charges faster and better running time. Imagine the possibilities. Not only in skinny water boats but remote situation like camping and travel with electronics. It even has a “never die” mode that allows [...] Related posts:

Been playing with new ways to present pictures to friends/clients and came across a pretty cool feature in the photo editor I use – Aperture 3.

Aquaz Kenai rain/wading/fishing jacket review video

sam — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:06:25 +0000

Aquaz, a Korean based company that makes waders. I first saw these guys at the Fly show in New Orleans and to be honest did not pay much attention. Mainly because there are many apparel companies out there, they just get lost in the mix of things. Aquaz found out about the Salty Fly and [...] Related posts:

Bottom fishing with D.O.A. Swimmin’ Mullet

Capt. Willy Le — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:35:08 +0000

Me, my brother and friends ventured out of Port Canaveral in the 22′ Pathfinder TE this past weekend. Conditions were sloppy but that didn’t stop the fish 80ft below from biting. We used nothing but D.O.A. Swimmin’ Mullet to jig the bottom and caught multiple species including Flounder, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Sea Bass, Trigger [...] Related posts:
