    5.0 (1)

    Powered by Viator

    Richmond, CA

    Here is exactly what makes this unique: The "Live Bait Chain": Halibut ignore dead bait. We don't buy frozen anchovies. You will learn to master the Sabiki Rig, catching your own live Shiner Perch, Smelt, or Anchovies right from the pier. You learn the entire food chain: catch the bait to catch the beast. Rigging: Halibut teeth and gill plates slice weak lines. Using Salty’s background in Non-Destructive Inspection, you will learn to build a bulletproof Carolina Rig. You will learn to check leaders for microscopic abrasions that lose trophies, ensuring your gear holds when it counts. "Mental Sonar" (Reading the Floor): We teach you to visualize the bottom topography using the "Dragging Retrieve". You will learn to feel the transition from mud to sand to rock, identifying the "ambush holes" where Halibut hide. The hardest skill in fishing. You will learn to distinguish the "tap-tap" of a Halibut from a snag, mastering the discipline of "feeding the fish" before setting the hook.

    South Beach Art Deco by Bike in French

    5.0 (1)

    Powered by Viator

    Miami Beach, FL

    South Beach, or SoBe for short, is a truly unique neighborhood which concentrates a lot of paradox: the festive Ocean Drive, the colorful sea lifeguard cabins, but also, of course, all the Art Deco architecture which focuses on the South Beach district (but not only). Indeed, the seafront, but also the residential areas, have real architectural gems in the Art Deco style. The bicycle is indeed the new preferred mode of transport in SoBe… The authorities of Miami Beach are considering permanently pedestrianizing Ocean Drive, the legendary seaside of South Beach, in order to make room for pedestrians and bicycles. This requalification of this public space will coincide with an unprecedented urban redevelopment. The bike is therefore the ideal tool for visiting SoBe! Many cycle paths have been created in recent years and more are planned, so let's take advantage of them!
