Truck Rack

I'm pulling a travel trailer to the Keys so that rules out using my Bed Extender to transport the kayaks.

I am in need of a single bar/rack for the top of my truck ... Yakima, Thule, etc.

Who has these locally? Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Yep, even though I'm in Land O' Lakes he's the first one I called. He did my T-140.

Rudder

In my earlier years, I installed garage doors, worked on electromechanical equipment, overhauled a small handful of car motors and in general, I've done pretty much everything around my house myself to include reroofing the old one I lived in. So ... WHY am I worried about drilling a few holes in a ...

Where will Ft. Desoto be once the new and improved destinations page is complete?? I always thought of Ft. Desoto as N.O.T.E. since the Hillsborough/Manatee county line runs way south of Ft.D. Someone once said that it sits outside of the Skyway so that makes it S.O.T.E. :? :roll: That's feeble. :P ...

After applying sunblock and all kinds of other crap we touch and transfer to our lures, I think this helps mask the unappealing scent to Mr Fish. I keep a bar of Ivory soap in my tackle box and fly fishing bag just for this reason. No, not to rub on the lures but to wash my hands with after using s...

Hi Jim,

Sorry, I don't enter the Rod Building forum very much and I just saw this post.

I don't build rods but thought I might one day so a friend of mine gave me step by step instructions on hard copy. If you would like, send me your address and I'll copy a set for you.

I own both. Just for the record, I can spend hours in my kayak. I can't do that in the canoe. Perhaps if I got a seatback for the canoe I'd be able to spend a little more time in it per outing.

I can not say how all the nice quality 'fishing' glasses compare to these, but I can say that I am more than happy with the Ray-Bans... I am happy with my Ray-Bans from Lens Crafters as well. On my second pair and am close to purchasing the third. Has anyone dealt with Pearl? Just wondering about t...

Quite a variety in my fly box/es. Schminnows in various colors weighted and unweighted, Surfcandy, a small assortment of Poppers, quite a few shrimp patterns, a couple different crab patterns, Clousers, Deceivers and the list goes on. I like flash! Ice Chenilles, Flash-A-Bou, Krystal Flash, etc. Mos...

Get the bright colored yellow/orange/red one if you want to be found by the search and rescue party.

Get the earth tones should you choose to hide amongst the mangroves from the guvmint! :wink:
