Title: Aloha via the Olympic Peninsula.
Post by: Ron Jones on August 31, 2012, 08:03:21 PM
Greetings,

Name is Ron and have been following Allen on Salty Dogs and BD for a long long time. I fish anything and everything from Fly trout to Marlin and (sooner than later), Ulua. I call Washington's Olympic Peninsula home and the Navy has me out on Oahu for the next few years.

As far as reels go, I grew up with Mitchel 300s and Penn 500s, squidders etc. Now I am pretty solid on Diawa, although I also have a few Senators and a 320 that I built into a rocket thanks to Alan's tutorial.

So, just sayin' hi.

Ron

Hi Ron.
When I noticed that you were trying to compare the Daiwa to the Senators, I knocked  you right off the site this morning.
Sorry Ron ,I pushed the wrong botton by accident. I'm glad that you came back.
Enjoy your stay.

OK, I'll be a little more specific. I use my Senators for pulling up ugly tasty things from the bottom, never failed me yet. I use my Diawa Millionare and Sealines for casting and inshore work. I like them both just fine, but I do use the Diawas for 90 percent of my fishing lately.

I have decided that their are things I like about Hawaii, but I want to live on the Peninsula, my wife is the exact opposite. Thankfully, space A flight availability means we can visit both often. I was having a lot of fun last week at home, the silvers are running and the trout and yellow perch were hot at the lake, nothing like watching your girls catch fish. If I was their just a bit longer I would have arranged an albacore trip out of Ilwaco (my favorite.)
