We Have Stuck Our Toe Into The Online Forum World…Next Comes The Groin

Online forums go with fly fishing like spaghetti and tuna fish (thank you Rob Schneider for my favorite quote ever), and we figured it was about time for us to create a safe place for SCOF readers to congregate, ask questions, call into question the morality of each other’s mothers, and generally act poorly under the anonymity of the internet. So please join us in what can only be called a grand social experiment. Please check out the rules I wrote. I worked hard on them, and they may be the first set of rules I’ve ever come up with. Click on the pic and participate.

Spring Break Is Over…Time To Get Back To The Serious Task Of Fishing And Stuff

My absence from the world wide web the last couple of weeks was most likely not noticed by many, but to that dude sitting in the basement with nothing but the glow of the computer and a Hare’s Ear Mask to keep him company…Hey dude, I’m back.

Soooooooo, how’s everybody doin’, what you been up to? Oh me? It’s so kind of you to ask, I spent my adult spring break hanging out with Asheville friends that now run a remote island Eco-Lodge in Panama named Casa Cayuco. Yes, there are Tarpon rumors, no my wife would not let me chase those rumors, and yes there is a return expolratory trip planned with some real fishy dudes and a not so fishy wife. I did get out a couple times for some hilbilly trawling and, between beers and bull shitting, we managed to put up a nice ‘Cuda. That toothy guy was nice enough to lend himself to my ceviche later that night, and for that I thank him…because it was delicious.

Just so nobody thinks that all we do is live the good life, catching giant ‘Cudas in exotic places, we have been hard at work to make your online Southern fly fishing (trust me it’s a thing) the best experience possible. We got some new items in the store including new SCOF Bamboo sun masks,

and as SCOF reader Jamie, from the unzipped fly blog, proves folks who wear SCOF gear catch more and bigger fish, across the board, period.

So buy some of our stuff and be a better fisherman than you ever though you could be. Also keep an eye out for more SCOF community building activities coming soon.

I’m Tootin’

…As in my own horn a little bit. Someone actually paid me to write something, and slap my ass and call me Sally, they printed it (I know this because I currently have 20 copies sitting on my desk ready to be autographed for my adoring fans). Grab a copy of Blue Ridge Outdoors at your favorite outdoor retailer or click on the cover to check out my story, with some of Steve’s fine photography as well.

The Cobia, The Cobia’s On Fire…We Don’t Need No Water Let The Mother F’er Burn

Judging by the SCOF inbox, the Cobia in the Low Country have been blowing up the past couple of weeks. Never ones to keep all the goodness for ourselves here is a video SCOF fan Bryan Bowers sent us ,and some fantabulous (figure since same sex marriage is the new black now, I better learn the vocabulary) grip and grins from our buddy Ken’s last trip down low. Hopefully this is enough to keep you from ending it all this close to the weekend. Enjoy.

Winners and Losers

One can’t exist without the other, and this past weekend pretty much proved it. While Steve and I were down in the Low Country playing with his new Towee Boat (sweet job Todd, everybody should check these out…really slick little boat), and not catching red fish, A couple of other fellars here at SCOF were busy kicking some serious bass ass and taking names. Ryan (SCOF Videographer) and Murphy (SCOF advertising sales and staff West Virginian) entered themselves in the 4th Annual Float and Fly Fishing The Greenbrier River Catch and Release Smallmouth Bass Tournament, and somehow managed to win the whole damn thing. Team SCOF took 1st place and Murphy took the overall individual prize with Ryan coming in a close and hilarious second. The only thing Ryan had to say for himself was that Murphy will be getting punched in the stomach when he least expects it. Congragulations fellas, and thanks for picking up the slack for the rest of us.
