You might have noticed a couple things around here.  One our site has been down a while and two it has changed to an entirely new look.  We loved our animated site that the guys in Australia built for us, but during the move from a server down under to a server in the the U.S of A. it developed a few glitches that were almost impossible to fix, so…. in order to have a fast loading secure site we quickly revamped it to a whole new look.  We hope you like it.  Take a look and you’ll notice that it’s easier to navigate and shop and what you don’t see is that it is much more secure, and we all know how important that is. 

Take a look around…and by all means lets us know what you think!  We’ll be adding lots of new stuff and brands that you’ve never seen on our site.  We’ll keep on doing our best to “Carry the Good Stuff”.  Write us e-mail, let us know your opinion and receive a great discount code for your next purchase.  Cheers!!

From Panama City Beach, Fl to Orange Beach, Al the surf was pumping this last weekend.  With the build up of a 15 to 20 knot southeast wind flow proceeding a cool front on Saturday, the line ups continued to build to a solid 5-6 feet.  The clouds and wind drove the fishhead mates and captains from their boats to the beach Friday through Sunday making the breaks all along the upper Gulf Coast jammed up with riders.  The pier break in Orange Beach was big but a bitch to get out through on Friday.  It got a little better on Saturday, and with the wind change Saturday night, Sunday opened up with glassy 4 footers.  The few that got up early on Sunday…that’s before 10:00 am… were treated to virtually no crowds. There were even a couple of stand up paddle boarders riding like Jack Johnson…just groovin.  I chatted with surf veteran and fishing guide David Brown of O.B. and groove monster and master welder Burt of Tower’s Too on Sunday.  They weren’t surfing Sunday cause they were to whooped from paddling out Friday and Saturday. I made a drive through Gulf Breeze, Fl Saturday afternoon and there was a traffic jam of trucks, cars, and SUV’s packin roof racks full of gun’s headin to Pensacola Beach.  All in all a pretty awesome weekend for surfing on the upper Gulf Coast.  Check out our latest shipment of Fletcher Chouinard Design surfboards from Ventura, California.  These awesome boards are built to patagonia’s earth friendly, nothing but the finest construction techniques.  Check em out at our Panama City Beach, Fl location…the ONLY place on the Gulf Coast you’ll find these boards in stock! Period!

What is fly-fishing? How is it different from bait casting or fishing with lures? I found a YouTube video that explains the question above. Click here to watch. Also check out this fly fishing video you might just learn something about fly fishing.

I enjoy watching when someone gets what they are after. In the following fly fishing video they do just that with big smiles.

I have had my pair of Kaenon sunglasses for nearly two months now and I want to say it is good to see while driving on a sunny day. I got the Kaenon Beacon in Tortoise with the C12 lens.  My first pair of premium sunglasses. They look good and feel great. From a town that is all about Costa Del Mar, so I encourage you to try something new on.

Tuesday was a good day for me, although it was cold, freezing and wet catching redfish on Dixie Bar, off of Fort Morgan. One of my best friends (Tim Simmons, the coolest preacher in the world) didn’t have a hard time convincing me to go in the 30 degree weather with nothing to put on my feet but flip flops. We headed out about 6:00AM got to the bar about 6:25 and started drifting the bar from the bayside to the gulf. It was rough but not unbearable but the temperature was painful; had it not been for my Patagonia Fleece (I take this vest everywhere! It is so easy to pack and fits in any bag) I would have been extremely miserable. However we managed to limit in about 30 min with 2, 17 - 20lbs fish and then went to the rigs for some other species. So the lesson learned was accessorize so the weather don’t make you miss the big fish. So Happy Fishing!!!
