Yeah, I didn't figure it was anything new, but it was new to me. I actually modified it a little. I put a 1/8 or 1/4 ounce rattling bullet weight above the first swivel on my leader. That lets me fish it a little deeper or a little faster and I think the rattling weight helps, too. I do use heavier ...

NIce work! Where's the pith helmet????????

I like these flukes called Skippyfish. The guy who designed them has a video where he uses what he calls a "deuces wild" rig. I've used it and I really like it. It's a lot better in the kayak, IMHO, than that thing. I'm sure it catches fish...I'm also sure it snags on everything in the wat...

Can't wait to hear you guys give opinions on this one!

+1 on the Rage Shad. I've gotten to where I prefer this over a buzz bait. It's really cool to be able to throw it into stuff you'd hang a buzz bait in. CHEAPER, TOO!!!

Alarm went off at 0430 Sunday morning. I shut it off. :lol: :lol: :lol: Got up at 0630. Had coffee. Sat down in my recliner. Woke up at 0830. :lol: :lol: Went outside. Freaking cold. 42 degrees on my porch. Looked at the forecast and the guessers said it would be in the 80's later. I didn't want to ...

Fair's fair.

Maybe laced with treble hooks tied on every foot or so?

Yeah, it's some sort of a non-venomous water snake. Probably is a banded water snake. We have a few of them, with the most common being the diamond back water snake, or nerodia. I don't know all the different varieties, I just make sure I can identify the poisonous ones. We really only have to worry...

This is a moccasin, a big one, too. :mrgreen: http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj298/picsofnate/P9050005.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj298/picsofnate/P9050006-1.jpg http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj298/picsofnate/P9050007.jpg Gone into the root ball. http://i275.photobucket.com/alb...

Well, this was supposed to be the year I was really gonna hit it hard. Fish, fish, fish and fish, only interrupted by some fishing. That didn't happen. It's been a brutal year for me where the trucking business is concerned. Busy, busy, busy. That's good, but it's not conducive to fishing. Throw in ...

Whatever you do, don't buy the "self inflatable" kayak seat pad made for SOT kayaks!! I think the name it was sold under was "Crack of Dawn" or something. Bought one for the wife. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!! .........Sorry yours didn't work out. I've been using mine for 3.5 yrs and h...

You don't have any problems. It was just "weathercocking" into the wind. My trident 15 tends to try and point upwind, too. It's not anything that learning some good paddling technique won't overcome. It'll also be a lot less work for you to paddle with more speed and go longer distances wi...

I'll bet it nearly knocked the rod out of his hands! Bet he thought he had a 12 pound bass Those things really do fight hard.

You might also experiment with a drag chain and anchor trolley, though I've never done it.

I'd guess that the snake in the tree was just a nerodia. THey do that all the time here in N.E. OK, too.

I thought maybe y'all might get a little bit of it. I'd hoped Texas would get some of it. We needed some rain, but this is ridiculous.

We're getting torrential rain fall and flash floods here in N.E. OK. I hope y'all are getting some down there. We needed the rain, but I think y'all need it worse.

I've had just about all the major brands and a few of the cheapies, too. Now, I use an MTI Solaris F-Soec and it's the only one I really ever liked. AND, you can pick one up from the Freshwater Forum Sponsor http://www.mockayaks.com/solaris-fspec-angler-p-324.html" onclick="window.open(thi...

Good job! Nice fish.

Thanks for all the info, RBR. I think if I could build her a boat and stay south of 40 pounds, she'd be tickled to death and that sounds pretty doable. I showed this to my wife and she instantly asked if it could be painted forrest green, here favorite color. The plan seems to be working. :wink: I l...

That's really looking nice. Is it going to be a bigger camping boat with tons of storage and capacity?

This really interests me...BUT my intentions are less than pure. I am desperately wanting to start building my own boats. The problem is my wife :mrgreen: She will undoubtedly complain that I'm not getting too far on the honey do list and well, wifey ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. So here's my dev...

Cool. What'd 'ya win??

paddletrucker- that is a big honkin' cottonmouth there. But the one that hit your plastic, that doesn't look like a water moccasin. Too light in color and too slender of a body in relation to length. No, the little one isn't a Moccasin. It's just a little water snake. If it would have been a Moccas...
