I had shipped a rod & reel ahead to avoid the TSA rearranging the guides on my rod ( It happened on an earlier trip to the Keys). We grabbed our gear and proceeded to find the bridge over the Anclote River in Tarpon Springs we had seen featured in a vid...

KFA-NY takes Salem by Storm! By James (onelastcast) On August 14, approximately 25 members of KFA-NY headed north to what has become a yearly pilgrimage to the NEKF Striper Shoot out in Salem Massachusetts.

Darren (Dragonfish) and George (GeorgeD) spearheaded a lobster and crab dinner. We gorged on the freshest crustaceans with cold beverages or your f...

The public is welcome.

Gene Kenney (elkfish) was a winner (in his own mind) in 2 categories not even named in he event , catching an Octopus and the allusive and rar...
