AJ Fishing with AA

There are times where the gravity of a choice is all encompassing, an moment so powerful that the outcome shifts your entire

being. Well this… wasn’t really one of those choices, in fact this was pretty damn easy. How easy? [section edited for bad joke content]

4 Sweet Asses – Fox Sport Fishing is a relatively new player in the sport fishing market, they are based in the UK and are turning out some fine looking gear that got our attention here at Addictive Angler. So much so that we decided to grab some of it ourselves and see just how well it could hold up to the rather, vigorous, trials that come with the AA territory (Big Game Fish). Now I could go on and gush about the light weight travel rod that is still super sturdy, or the 7 foot popper specific designed rod that produces a splash and chug that would make any angler, but I definitely wouldn’t write a poem about their stratos 20,000 two speed spinning reel!

Got Fish?

Fishy fishy in your hole
my popper will catch your attention whole
and when you come and make a nasty bite
My Stratos reel will keep you tight
Then when I switch the gear to wined
your ass is on the dinner plate, in no time

All of those things would be over-kill, because We decided we loved them so much that we had to sell them, in fact we DO sell them Buy them————-> Here <———–. It takes a lot to get 4 asses, especially 4 sweets asses! Fufu aside they are sturdily built with Quality precision machined aluminum, producing a like weight, high tech fish catching machine.  The specs speak for themselves, but the dinner table talks even more… and our be talkin’  so thank you Fox Sportfishing keep up the great work Gentlemen and Ladies.

4 Sweet asses! (5 pending a 400 lb fish)

Definition of CAMARADERIE : a spirit of friendly good-fellowship

Or as the local populace would say camaradería. Weather its the daily pushing and pulling of boats in and out of the water with or against the tides or its everyone sitting around enjoying an ice cold beer after a night of fishing the town of Gorgona panama gets it. The fisherman are comprised of a fleet of probably 25 pangas, small fishing skows that have mostly all seen their respective better days, but that doesn’t deter this co-op. Day after day the fishing boats come and go, mostly leaving in the evenings for their overnight fishing sessions, which usually end in a wide assortment of a catch.

Saltwater Catfish are a prevalent species in the waters around Gorgona as the daily catch isn’t ever without more then a handful of the whiskered. A wide variety of other fish make there way to the shores of Gorgona as we saw Snappers big and small, triple tail, Crovina, and Snook. The fish come and go quickly as everything is quickly weighed, put on ice, and then shipped out via pick-up truck delivery trucks strapped with monster coolers which make their respective ways to the surrounding towns.

Gorgona lays nestled on the central Pacific coast of Panama, about an hours drive from Albrook, or about 1.5 – 2 hours from Tocumen Airport in Panama City. Its bordered by other small beach towns which run together, the most notable is Coronado, which is a gated community. The black and white sands mix almost as frequent and erratically as the locals and obvious foreigners. Next to 13 story high rise condos live single level lean-to’s, or old family concrete houses. The arrangement a snapshot of a battle field of concrete and nature.

To the east lies an unpopulated estuary with two tributaries that kicks out into the pacific creating some fantastic and private surfing waves that we saw overhead height. That was a great find, but around the estuary brought a welcomed site to us as at least 1000 birds swarmed eating the hatch from the previous night. The bay is constantly home to frigates and seagulls who seem to have one of the more consistent diets I’ve seen any bird have. Mid March seemed bait hatch time as Stephen Kings words fail to describe the magnitude of birds that could be seen for miles along the beach.

Overall Gorgona is a beautiful place, which is mostly home to weekending panama city residents, but the fishing as it is everywhere in panama, is top notch. There isn’t much to do but relax and enjoy the beauty, but some times that just the right thing to do!

I’m not sure whats the bigger fail here on Jayco’s part, the the fact that they moronically used a bad quality paint and decals on a high dollar iten, or that they can’t stand behind their product because that profit margin would shrink…a fraction. Greed dear fuck-faces at Jayco is cluttered path of defeat and regret.

New slogan suggestion:
“Buy a Jayco, but don’t call us after you do, we’ll call you!”
The fine print would of course read:
“We wont call you, we’re slimy bastards that bleed our customers for every drop we can squeeze”

From Jayco’s About us story:
“Jayco’s mission remains unchanged–to build exemplary RV’s and provide customers with extraordinary service after the sale. ”
Ooops, someone screwed that pooch! Really? Jayco’s definition of exemplary must differ from the rest of the whole damn world. Exemplary to me would be an apology and a solution for this:

A motor-home which money is still owed, exemplary indeed

zero integrity, hypocrisy, and idiocy — Jayce you are the tri-fecta of fail, 5 pigs asses
