    Awesome, Tyler. Btw, I smashed my rig around plenty in recent weeks on the Mojave Road and in Death Valley. That gusset you welded to my gate spindle has been doing fantastic.

    Great question. Ill have to look into that further to see if there's any spots we can get a line wet. I plan on making a few weekend Eastern Sierra runs between spring and fall. You're more than welcome to come slay trout with us on any of those.

    Yea just let me know when! Goldens are getting a bit harder to find but put up a great fight for being a generally smaller fish species

    In salt I want the bigguns. Sierra fishing I'm not picky on size. The surroundings is vast enough for me.

    True, the area itself is amazing and never gets boring. But the big ones are nice once and a while :thumbsup:

    Its just not realistic timing for me. Amazing killer deal though! I literally just spent the last 10 minutes thinking of what I can sell to come up with the cash, things like going back to stock and selling all my bolt on mods, household appliances, wife's car, children...
