Aw, doggone it, sorry, boys. Raylene says she's tied up this month with some big hippie festival all them huarachi-wearin' bong huffers put on every year. I couldn't unnerstand much of what she was talkin' about, but seems like they got this big holiday called Urf Day. Now, I don't know who this Mot...

Re: TBRPC to address Shrimp Trawls

Amen, and any of us who are on this forum but normally fish *outside* the Tampa Bay area need to get on board with this one, too. That's a BIG ol' bay, and it's a nursery that, long-term, affects recreational fishing over a HUGE area. Folks, it only takes a few minutes to email your government offic...

Asking For Your Prayers

Usually I try to tell you fellers about somethin' funny, but I regret to say that tonight I'm gonna be askin' for your prayers. Every so often, a true legend of kayakfishin' logs his last trip, and everybody in our tight-knit community is the poorer for it. Well, they carried my buddy Lester away in...

Re: Developers are after area @ south end of Skyway!

I've got an alternative plan which would simultaneously put that area to good use, create a tremendous number of new jobs, improve the aquatic environment, AND starve the Mexican drug cartels to death: Install a gigantic woodchipper at the south end of the Skyway, toss all the politicians and develo...

Dude, if you are seeing fish standing in kayaks, you are WAY too close to the nuke plant.

Re: Unreal story

Way to go, Rory! :salute: Two interesting sidenotes: The Chen family (woman who was killed) are avid kayakers. Barney (the dog) probably headed for the most familiar-looking thing he could find. And..... Vizslas (amazing little dogs) were introduced into the U.S. in 1950 by a man named Frank.... get...

A Message to Powerboaters from a KayakFISHERMAN

I launch for many of my freshwater trips (at least twice a week) from the City Hall Ramp in Dunnellon, on the Withlacoochee River. For those not familiar, if you go left from this ramp, it's about a 3/8-mile upstream run to the confluence of the Rainbow River, where the Withlacoochee takes a hard sw...

Re: Made A Few Things For My Kayak

Outstanding work, Cajun. Seriously, VERY nice.

You may want to seriously consider a trolley system of some kind, though.
Plenty of great how-to's on the boards here.

Re: New Member

Welcome aboard. What the heck is that blue thing next to your boat?
It looks like it's about five feet long. Pardon me, I haven't shopped for
kayaks since I bought my Tarpon a long time ago.
