I recently talked the girlfriend into trying a 3/4 day tuna fishing charter. We spent from 6AM to 8PM on the water, in an area probably 3 hours south of the Coronado Islands, and each landed a 30 lb bluefin tuna. We may be forever ruined for freshwater fishing. If this sort of thing is on...

Last year I managed to get a CMP M-1 Carbine to go with my M-1 Garand. The rifle I got was a 1942 Inland with a 5 digit serial number. I decided to take it to the range and asses it's usability as a javelina rifle for a hunt this weekend. It looks to shoot pretty true, with most of the...

I'm curious whether anyone keeps a log book for their boat? Combined with an hour meter, it would help track maintenance and warranty items. A guy could also keep maps of the lakes he frequents inside the log book. It would be kinda novel to review past trips and lessons learned periodically.

I'm looking to get a couple new rods & spinning reels for myself, and would appreciate some advice from the collective. My background is mostly trout fishing, from shore or in a canoe with light $30 spin casters. Historically I went cheap because I never had a lot of money to invest, and...
