I may go take a look, I've been told I should have a tuner pedal.

I put the Whaler in, it works well. I had my daughter help because I blew my knee out. She is very capable and usually catches more and bigger than me. I had a nice few days where the wind was from the South, the tide coming in, no boat traffic, and I could drift my little 12 ft deep creek quietly. The fish were feeding on grass shrimp and I used a 1/2oz leadhead, with a grub body, and a sliver of squid for flavor. Over the course of week I nailed 7 big Fluke, biggest 21", all fat and fought like hell. I keep forgetting to snap pics but I remembered again just as I was cleaning the biggest 21"er. This is more and better fish than all last summer combined.

Hey, what's the make of that knife?
Looks like one of mine - a Solingen - Weidmannsheil.

It is a Schrade Uncle Henry Steelhead, an old one from when still made in NY. Very slim and stiff. Quite probably the best filet knife ever made. I used to scoop them up on Fleabay but they have skyrocketed in price lately.
