Re: What the Hell Is Going On Here or Actually Not Going On

I think, MPO, younger generation than mine have moved on to blast style communication.. "send blast and forget it" the technology has moved forward to this style. They are way to busy, in their own minds, to peruse this style of message board, post a message, and then come back later to se...

Re: Where are the kayakers?

I switched to SUP fishing.. but have not been in a few weeks. I seldom post fishing reports anymore, first people here don;t really GAS of what I don;t catch in Biscayne Bay, second fishing has been not so good for a couple years so I really have nothing to report.

Re: SUP's (StandUpPaddleboards)

Young,, I'm 65 and have a failing heart... now if I could find a SOT kayak, reasonably priced, that weighed less than 50 pounds (would like 40 pounds) and you could easily stand that would be my choice. The canoe is close but spinning around to fire off a cast while quietly putting the pole or padd...

Re: SUP's (StandUpPaddleboards)

OK, have fun on your paddle boards you younger dudes. I am thin enough but balance is a far cry from the old days. So, I will stick to a SOT kayak.

Re: SUP's (StandUpPaddleboards)

The Bote's are nice looking boards, by the specs the Rackham 12' is listed at 41# and the Ahab 14' is listed at 45# so the weight is similar to the Dragonfly 13.6, and the hull design/shape sure looks nice. As far as Fins go the DragonFly has an optional, ($200.00 optional), shallow water fin which ...

Re: SUP's (StandUpPaddleboards)

I can't review other boards yet, but sure wish I could test drive a few. For perspective I have been paddling a 14'4" Wenonah Vagabond, Flex-core Kevlar that truly weighs 38 pounds. I have been paddling the DragonFly and it sure is a nice platform. I've been paddling the 13.6, they now have a n...

Re: SUP's (StandUpPaddleboards)

As the world continues to turn... I have been using a borrowed DragonFly for about 2 months now and really like it.. BUT It seems more and more people are going to paddleboards as the fishing platform or as an alternative additional craft. Have any more people here tried them, if so which boards, an...

Re: Sarasota, Long Boat Key Guides ?

I'd be pretty disappointed catching Trout on a charter, but sometimes its all you can get, he must have done a great job to leave you happy. I kind of feel the same way.. here I stay away from Trout hate the slimy buck tooth'd bturds. I can't really blame the guide he worked his azz off, we saw and...

Re: Sarasota, Long Boat Key Guides ?

Had a great time again on Longboat Key, even though not many fishes were caught.. no beach Snook, just Ladyfish and Jacks. Explored a bit more of the area, found Anna maria Island and walked out on the pier for a great lunch at the little dive bar/food out there. Checked out and found a couple more ...

Re: beach fishing advice!

No real current data.. but next week I'll be in LongBoat Key and walking the beaches early morning (sunrise) and the plan is the same as it always is.. throw a larger weedless jerk bait like a big DOA Cal or Exude RT Slug, perhaps with a small weighted hook or bullet weight, in a glow, white, pearl ...
