game changer…shoot now, focus later?
It’s a new camera technology called the Lytro and it sort of shoots pictures in three dimension so you never have to worry about focusing or missing that perfect moment. Check out this story from the fine folks at NPR and don’t forget to click on the pictures to understand how this works. I can see many possible uses in the surf or boat when all hell breaks loose…LOL
leos in the wash…
congrats to my buddy, Jeff Priest who subdued this nice 50lb. leopard shark last weekend on the fly. there have been many nice sized sharks beginning to spawn on our local beaches. i have seen many in close. yes, they can be sight fished. they are beautiful creatures, so please practice catch & release. she was released unharmed…

awesome footage!

This video is called THE EAT! created by SlaterProductions55. It was emailed to me from one of the finest fly fishing photographers on the planet, Pat Ford. It is really well done and for those of you that haven’t had the opportunity of catching a redfish on the fly, well this will get you motivated in a hurry. Enjoy!

hate when this happens…

Every now and then my running line has a bad hair day. It can be because I didn’t clean it the night before or maybe I didn’t stretch it real good. All I know is that this usually is part of the shooting head game and I usually manage to work it out. I had one the other day that looked like a geometric nightmare, the more I played with it the worse it got. When this happens you have to chill, and go zen on the beast. Take a deep breath, methodically pull your loose loops through and try to unravel any line twists. Go nice and easy, never pull hard or it will compress into a ball of confusion. So this is what they mean when they say fisherman have patience, now i get it.
