It has been a long time since I have posted. I used to live in Tampa Florida and worked for Fox News but now I am living in Memphis TN. However, I am looking to come back to Florida and open a business but want to get some advice from some of you who already have a kayak rental business. As far as t...

Awesome report...great pics. I love this site and glad you guys had soo much fun.

Cub,

You are my hero. Wow,,,just wow.

So, Ratherbefishin met me at Ft Desoto this Saturday morning to do some fishing. It was a beautiful day, not too hot with about 5 - 10 mph winds. We launched around 740 and I was surprised that there were not too many people out there on a Saturday. The fish were literally jumping out of the water. ...

Wow, awesome pictures. Heck I only live a few miles from that place. I wll have to check it out. I live on the bay north of the Gandy Bridge..about a mile from the bridge. Nice report, I plan to paddle out tomorrow(Friday) morning since I dont have to be at work til 4pm.

Hey Mangrove,

Where would you suggest someone to fish on the weekend in the Tampa area? I think I might go out adventuring this weekend.

Bill, I would have called for the Father, Son and Holy Ghost if that little nipper was that close to me. Before I learned a hard lesson, I use to try and dehook the shark. However, that changed at Ft Desoto when I was on the pier and pulled up a 4 ft Black Tip. Everything was fine till I tried to de...

Very nice Rooster. I love catching and releasing sharks. They are definately spirited and love to fight.

Holy Cow....That must have been one heck of a night. Awesome report and pictures.

I hope I never find myself swimming in that area lol.

Wow Trootin...

Thats it...i am putting you under surveillance. So if you get a strange feeling that someone is following you to your spots, it is just me lol.

Awesome catches.

LOL....I guess your idea is better than mine...I was thinking about just strapping my wife to the bottom of the yak .

Thanks for the replies. I cant tell if the picutre I put up is the type of holder where the straps go through the block.

For those of you who have the type where the straps go through the blocks, where did you buy them and howmuch?

I have a nissan 200sx. It is a 2 door veh and I was wondering if you think this would work for transporting my kayak. Probably in the next year, I will buy a pick up but I want to go exploring in my yak. Plus, I want to meet and fish with you guys at upcomming events. I own a malibu mini-x. http://w...

I posted this on another forum and wanted to share it with my buds over here as well. It's been awhile since I have been fishing, so I decided to take the yak out Monday in Old Tampa Bay. Boy, the water was shallow. I had to drag the yak thru the mud for probably 25 yards. Finally, I was in deep eno...

I just bought a Malibu mini-x recently and love it. I aquired a milk crate but I am not the most tool-gifted person, if ya know what I mean. The back storage area of my yak can handle a crate but I need to figure out how to bungee the equipment for easy access. Usually, I carry with me a small tackl...

Thursday morning was absolutely beautiful. There was a cool breeze and not a cloud in the sky, so I decided to take the mini-yak out on Old Tampa Bay at my apt complex. Quickly, I loaded up the yak and was on the water by 930am. Armed with dead shrimp and lures, I was ready to commit to battle and e...
