For me it’s the Abu Garcia 7000C I have had these for several years already and no issues. Rather fishing the banks or kayak they have done the job.

I went Saturday and fished a marsh, there was no difference between the white and the green braided lines. Unfortunately the gar were out in force and fresh water still coming out the marsh from previous rains of days before. Not much red action this time to talk about, guess I picked the wrong spot...

I have fished Matagorda for along time but I have never fished the rigs mentioned in your post. Never really looked it up before but I’ll be following this post for sure, 1.57 nautical miles is nothing to paddle. I’m sure someone one here has experience with the Matagorda rigs , come on let’s post u...

Really appreciate all the great responses on this topic, I will still get back to y’all on the results this weekend

Well I may just put it on the reel and see what’s what, I’ll also take a second reel spooled with the green just in case. I’ll get back to y’all with the results.

Who has used white braided fishing line in saltwater before? Did it make a difference in bites? I have two spools if 15# white braided line but I have always used moss green. Well it’s time to change the line out after three years. Should I use the white or go buy some moss green again? The waters I...

Man I tried fly fishing ONCE! Sold everything afterwards I don’t have the patience for it glad you got to them

Man I wish I lived close enough to do that, nice stinger of reds. My drive to the marsh is over an hour to either spot I fish.

Royse City area looking to make friends. New to the forum Man your right in the middle of three good crappie lakes, welcome to the forum and there are a few guys in your vicinity that are on here as well. I’m sure you’ll be able to hook up with someone soon. I’m down on the gulf and fish from India...

True pro. right there you handle your catch with ease and simplicity. Yes I prefer the free drift to anchor also when it comes to kayak fishing simplicity works best for me. I can remember seeing a guy out there loaded down with gear I mean four rods, tackle boxes, cooler, gaff and long anchor line ...

That’s a fun trip jacks on a kayak, that’s a lot of fun. I don’t keep them for eating just shark bait. I’ll say it again I love that stealth

Just signed up I can use an extra kayak

Imanoldmanyoungsalt, if that’s your favorite place I’m sure we fish the some of the same areas. I have a lemongrass 15 foot trident kayak and a white Silverado with a kayak rack on the back. If you ever see this description stop by. Oh yeah I also have a TKF sticker on the back window

If you ever get out to Matagorda send me a PM and I’ll meet you out there.

18 miles by noon, wow! You put some miles on that kayak myself and a buddy of mine figured out mileage for the year a few years back. We came out to 376 miles paddled over a year of fishing on the weekends. You differently have that beat. I know you have that stealth kayak, that thing is really nice...

I love having a longer yak I have an ocean trident 15 that cuts through rough conditions. You’re right about the 16 foot you have a buddy of mine has one and they perform their best in the rough conditions. I don’t have a rudder on mine yet I have been considering one just haven’t made the move.

I check in from time to time, nothing like it use to be. I fish the Freeport , Matagorda area.

So where did you end up going Galveston or Matagorda? How did you do

Just seen this how did the trip go? The white bass should be biting . Did you fish the actual lake or the creeks ? I fish nails and the yaegu .

Good thing I didn’t take my TKF sticker off the truck , I don’t post often but I will try to make a better effort.

Impressive trip and thank you for sharing . I have logged hundreds of miles on the river out of a kayak and canoe but never one of that length. I don’t get on here regularly anymore but glad I read this. I also have a trident 15 and absolutely love it for camping trips it handles loads very well. I ...

I like my light high and straight, gives the full 360 view. I use the extended pole from rail blaza it’s over 40” high when extended. Be safe out there

Don’t forget about lake Houston , lake Conroe and lake Livingston. All hold crappie and catfish a depth finder with side scan would help finding brush piles and structures. There is also the Sabine River and trinity , I have fished and camped the spot mentioned above on the Colorado river between la...

I’m more a saltwater guy but I love some crappie

Looks like fun I need to get back out there, did y’all happen to hook up with any crappie
