Just bought my ticket

Seems like a good way to lose a hoof

I see the appeal all the way up to, but not including, wading with sharks and landing it/them on the beach. I would prefer a boat and an expendable deckhand for landing services.

Not sure why, but I want a .25 Cal pellet gun like a Benjamin Marauder. Looks like a neat toy.

They're pretty wore out by the time they hit the beach, and they are a lot like crocs, they have blind spots and ways to hold em so they cant reach you with those jaws.

My last attempt was blown out by 7 days of hard south winds from the gulf, I only had one good run on the big rod until the circle hook let go after 20 seconds. The trip before that I underestimated the power of my target and I had too small of a rod/reel combo and watched about 700 yards of 100lb test burn off into the gulf, and almost got bit by a 7' bull shark that chased a ladyfish in I had on my line while I was a hundred yards out and waist deep in the water.

I'm hoping I have used up all my bad luck and will land a true sea monster this September.

Materials to build my permanent ice house

Newer, better rangefinder

An action to build a 20 VarTarg

I'm in the process of planning a permanent ice house as well. Keep going back and forth between just buying the frame and building everything or buying a shell and finishing the interior. Also can't decide on size. 8'x16' is preferred but i may go down to a 6.5' wide for the first go around.

Anyone know of anyone who builds shells other than the major mfg (yetti, firebrand, ice castles, ect..)?
