Sportfishing Dreams! The Independence Sportfishing Experience.
Thank You to the 30+ Strangers that became Friends to help create this moment. You all made this experience happen.

Some moments just can’t be planned or captured. Chances increase if you prepare for it.

4K Big Screen with a Soundbar or phone/tablet with headphones will be worth it. Sound is designed for it.

Could have easily remained a dream. A moment it became. One of the greatest moments of my life. Now a memory that will live on forever through video.

Young’s Tackle 6 day in April 2026.
Be good to people and always keep a positive mental attitude. Always.

How many times have you visualized landing your dream bluefin?
What did it look like?
How long did you plan for?
How did it feel?
What boat were you on?
What were you telling yourself in your head?
Did everything go as planned or was there adversity to overcome?
Was it lucky or the luck you made?

Fixing Bent Mast for the 15m Yagi

Fixing Bent Mast for the 15m Yagi


Today I’m replacing the top section of Mast #2 due to the bend at the very end of the pole. What should have been a quick job turned into a pleasant afternoon in the antenna field – birds singing, aircraft overhead, tools clanking and a bit of problem-solving along the way. Sometimes it’s nice just to get outside and get things done.

I also share a few thoughts on the GoPro I’ve been using while my DJI Pocket 3 is away for repair. Let’s just say we’re not getting on particularly well…

Tomorrow I’ll be turning my attention back to the 15m Yagi and getting that project moving again.

Enjoy your radio!

73,

I Tested the Yaesu FC-80 So You Don’t Have To

I Tested the Yaesu FC-80 So You Don't Have To

In this test I test the tuner on two 9:1 antennas and the CaHR Poseidon Vertical, check it out you might be surprised!
The Yaesu FC-80 is a compact automatic antenna tuner designed specifically for the Yaesu FTX-1 field transceiver. Built for portable and outdoor operation, the FC-80 provides fast automatic matching of a wide range of wire antennas, helping operators achieve efficient power transfer with minimal setup time. Its lightweight, weather-resistant design makes it an ideal companion for POTA, SOTA, field days, and emergency communications, allowing hams to spend more time making contacts and less time adjusting antennas.
