The one downside to them (and it’s a big one) is the wind. For me they are completely unusable in winds much over about 12 mph. The air in the board acts like a balloon. I can see where the pedal drive could offset some of the wind issues but they are not easy to keep in position. Totally agree on ...

Didn't know that about the breeders size. I feel better about the change now. Thanks for the heads up

good info fellers. My 2020 model changed from GT type to kick up type which is good and bad. Good as mine will kick up when hitting something. Bad where the fins I got (non-returnable) wont work so Ill have to resell and get what I need. Live and learn

Not at all pleased with the new regs.
5 trout 15-24" min and CPR any over 24" is a much more reasonable idea IMHO

So I got a used Compass with kick up fin technology. In looking for turbo fins for it, I was amazed at the various models/features the Mirage drive comes in. I bit the bullet and dropped a wad on the turbo fins as I found the stock fins to be sadly lacking due to either size or being "wore out&...

WOW! glad you got it back and cudos to the finder/poster

My input… get the shoulders stronger and get a paddle back in your hands. :D I like your 1st part about getting stronger...Im definitely working on that! After over 20 years of paddling, the repetition is what wore the joints out (among other things). This last go round was caused by just fishing 3...

good advice fellers.
Is the reverse a deal breaker or just a convience? Plenty of Hobies with just kick up fins to be had for several hunny less.
They are proud of the pull cord reverse lol

After 2 shoulder surgerys, Im considering going pedal power and could use some 1st hand knowledge. I know the weight of the pedal boats are an issue but what type/brand of drive system works best in bays and rivers? Is the seating position comfortable to long term pedalling or do the elevated leg po...

...being released into the Guadalupe at Louise Hays park in Kerrville tmw Wed 1/17/24. I hit the 1st release in Dec and it was fun. Dinky trout 8-10"s made to catch and eat.

Love the fish porn Prof! Hope you nothing but PBs in 2024

Thanks, was a good one. Went to bed at 8p stuffed so up early shopping online. Academy has good deals on 9mm and .22LR

From that video, I dont believe you have a cable issue. Something is binding...either contols or the rudder itself. Control cables are not "tight" inside the plastic housing like bicycle cables for example. Id disconnect one or both ends of one side of the cable and move rudder then foot c...

best rates if u are AARP is the Hartford for both home and auto.
AARP membership is intially $12/yr and I compared same coverages with SF,Geico,Allst, Fred Loyola for bundled home and truck

I cut the gills to bleed them, then they go into a cooler bag with frozen bottles of ice. Clean them ASAP, filet out on half shell, rinse off, vac seal and fast freeze. Holds for several months in freezer(not years LOL). Thaw out in fridge for a couple days before smoking or frying. Good flaky white...

Espiritu Santo was purdy green water, not a hint of any red tide. Got a quick limit on specks then catch and release. The storm Monday night really flushed out the bays but the high tide made it plenty salty again. Tuesday was off but Wed (today) was memorable. Plenty of reds in the shallow grass, I...

It's practically an annual thing, is it not?

yep

Seadrift got torrential rain and storms last night (as did Houston and points SE). I suspect any red tide is no more.

Im not seeing anything but trout green water in Seadrift and west Matty (Powderhorn lake). Headed to Espiritu Santo tmw. Caught a HUGE black drum off a reef today, est 30" x #40 fish, took 2 hands to haul it into the kayak in the net. Released of course... Saw your link, theres always some dead...

The video on KSAT is canned footage of a red tide fish kill...sensationalism! Other forums are reporting little or no fish kill. Im headed to the coast Sunday and will give my POV from west Matty,Lavaca bay, Port O and Seadrift areas

the 4 seasons of Texas

Like everyone, Im waiting for that 1st real front to blow through. Im hoping the the 3rd week of Sept s the one. Been putting off a coastal run sine end of August. Need meat

Can't tel...was the flying king on your line or just a random fish? Great vid either way

Thanks for quick response Nuemi!

My dealer didn't have the rules booklet so I can't check. What's the daily bag limit on speckled sea trout? I heard TPWD went back to 5 fish, 15" minimium... true? No more adusted limits/lengths depending upon where you are fishing? The online rules list freshwater exceptions but do not show sa...
