DEEP WANTS
PAY DAY HELL ACIOUS SECOND-HAND ORGANS FOR A SNAZZY PIMPED SKIFF AND A BOOK FOR BELMAN AND CORBINA THE SKIFF – HELLSBAY X ORVIS
If there was a market for well used spare kidneys, we would have flooded it by now to make a down payment on this special edition skiff collaboration between Hell’s Bay Boatworks and Orvis. Basically, you pick the flats skiff you want/need and upgrade to the Orvis package, which includes unique colour accents, upgraded components (full carbon decks and SeaDek traction) and an Orvis bounty (a Helios 3 rod, Mirage reel and boat bag). $500 of every purchase goes towards conservation partners like the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust or Captains for Clean Water. Now, how important is the pancreas and will it cover international shipping? hellsbayboatworks.com
THE BOOK – THE CORBINA DIARIES
“Many fishermen think of corbina as the Howard Hughes of the surf. They are often talked about but relatively few are seen…” When we read this line from the intro to The Corbina Diaries, we could not help make the connection with belman (a close cousin of the corbina). Even since we heard that local legend Jannie Visser managed to catch a belman on fly we have been obsessing even more than usual over this tasslemouthed target from the South African coast. We wager the similarities between these fish are not limited to looks. From techniques and tactics to fly patterns, in The Corbina Diaries, species pioneer Quattrocchi has put together the ultimate granular guide for these spooky denizens of the Californian coast. Whether you manage to get a corbina or bellman on fly or not, Quattrocchi’s hard-earned knowledge can only make you a better surf fly angler. love2flyfishmedia.bigcartel.com
