As many of you know I did a review on my St. Croix Avid surf rod a while back on this blog. That rod was great and served me well.

Yes we've a cold front in January. No it's not strange but it is strange that we've only had one.  The weather has been spectacular and the fishing on fire.  There was a bit off a dip after the last cold front but the ship quickly righted itself and all is well now.  The species list has been long starting with bonefish and tarpon but adding to th...
