Howdy Everyone! Anyone know of a good bait shop in Land O' Lakes or North Tampa? I shop at small businesses whenever I can. Thanks fellas!

I'd like to thank all of you for your contributions. I'm heading to the 'glades in February and am going to spend my bait money on artificial instead (not having to worry about keeping them alive is always a bonus). Happy New Year and thanks again fellas!

No no no. Sorry, could've been a bit more descriptive. I know how to use the Cajun Thunder and use it appropriately, but no bites. Maybe I need to try an extra dose of patience (my kids keep my reserve especially low). Also, with artificials, does anyone have a preference between a baitcaster or spi...

So all you guys that use the DOAs and swear by them (the DOA shrimp is what I'm using), how do you present the lure? I've put them under a Cajun Thunder and free-lined them before, all to no avail. What colors do you use?

Good afternoon fellow paddlefishermen! In an effort to conserve $$ on live bait and to increase my fishing abilities, I'd like to start using more artificials. Some good ones I've heard about are the Zara Spook and the Exude soft plastic baits. I have also used a ton of DOAs with absolutely no luck....

Plain and simple for me. I've found BPS to be overpriced in my opinion. Also, as many people have commented, the employees at BPS typically aren't very knowledgeable. I also think that our local gov't paying for infrastructure is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, our governments have paid for similar infr...

Wait until you have the baby. Babies are time sponges.

Pretty darn cool!

Anyone have any experience with a Olympus Tough TG-820? Thanks for all of the recommendations everyone!

Howdy Paddlefishermen! Happy Thanksgiving! I'm trying to figure out a nice waterproof camera to buy for my kayak fishing use. I'm leaning toward the Olympus TG-810, but I wanted to see if any of you upstanding gentlemen had any suggestions. Thanks so much and have a great day everyone! Don't eat too...

LOL, love the poem. I too need to get a life. I make up raps on the way to work how I don't want to go to work. Perhaps I'll post some on here someday. Would love to meet up to fish, but have not the time. Good luck Joe!

Howdy Folks, Well, being a teacher, my paddling season has arrived!!! I have a 4 y/o daughter (soon to be 5) that loves to hang out with her dad and the outdoors. I have a Tarpon 140 and I'm trying to figure out how to mount a child seat in the rear tank well. Anyone have any experience making one o...

Sweet! Thanks!!!

Pretty Cool! Mote is BY FAR my favorite aquarium in the Bay Area. I've been to FL Aquarium (a very good one as well) and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium (was not very impressed, visitor-wise). This is a great way to raise funds for an aquarium with a mission to benefit one of our great wildlife resou...

Anybody know Rick Scott's stance on this? Not being fecicious by the way.

Howdy Folks, I have one of the old-generation Tarpon 140s and have the serious swamp butt issue. I saw the awesome-looking suspended seat on the new Tarpon 140's. Anyone have any experience updating the old Tarpons with the new seat? Being suspended off of the lowest point in the cockpit would be gr...
