If you are doing it via kayak, do you mothership there? Long way to paddle!

I rented a tarpon and my son has a tarpon, but I bought a manta ray. The tarpon will be faster, but imo the seat on the manta is more comfortable. Tarpons are probably more comfortable sitting side saddle in the flats. Both are good boats so it is kind of a win-win. If you are doing BTB with frequen...

I like H&H coachoe minnows. I use either the big or small. I think having a little variety is nice. I know we are supposed to match the hatch, but frankly I have never seen a rubber paddle tail hatch so I just try one and stay with it if it is working and change if it is not. I probably do use l...

That and his forum name!

The question is how will you get it back if you get stuck ?

I had to re-read the line "It wasn't hot" a few times to realize "hot and heavy referred to fishing, not the temperature! Great fishin'

Not only being a great dad, but this is what great fishermen do. Like my dad, his dad, etc.

We have taken kayaks to michigan and back to TX via the rack on my small truck. If you can get away with putting the kayak on your vehicle instead of your pop-up then I think that is preferred.

Lets see if I can picture post:

Lot of good (and funny) answers above. First-What you DID do right-found bait and found fish. I have fished mullet hard and long for more times than I care to recall. Second-Another question is how long do you fish where fish are (and are not biting). That is a question I wish I knew the answer to. ...

great boat. looks like you know how to use it.

I looked at a lot of options myself and I ending with this set up. Just finished installing an ac window unit where the old refrigerator used to be. Are the flood lights add ons? I agree with you, truck camper is the best option for beach camping. Surprising they are not more popular in TX. Suppose...

Welcome. I used to live in the natural state myself.

Good choice on the yak. Great bang for the buck even without that 20% discount!

I agree with others. Careful on some of the rivers.

Good point!

Is any Wilsons cut video complete without a car break in?

for what it is worth, my knowledge and experience with bass fishing has hindered my learning curve in the salt water

Along the backside of the highway between Port A and Corpus. Also go to the national seashore.

This technique may just make those skunk days a little more enjoyable. Thanx for the idea.

It is hard to answer a question from a half a world away...but that does not seem to stop me. 1. a 14 foot kayak will be better on longer stretches or more open water than a 10 footer. I would only consider a 10 footer on a river or narrow water situation. 2. A 14 foot kayak is harder to transport t...

I am not sure the word "frustration" should be used in the same post as a 24" red

I never do this. I use 'em how I buy them and change out if they get too rusty or dull. I often change to singles at that time but frankly find more than a few top waters just do not work as well as with the OEM hooks.

I find changing hooks a pain in the ....

I tend to use the smaller plastics in the very shallow water, but if one is not working I try something else. My choices are small vs. large and paddle tail vs. twitch (straight tail) ones. In addition to color which I choose based on water clearity and sun (or lack thereof).

How do you like the truck camper? Getting one is on my bucket list.

Every yak I have owned or used is one that
1. I wish was bigger while on the water
2. I wish was smaller when loading

I got a trailer now. Once I finally get it together (only had it 11 months ) I am hoping number 2 will be easier.

Do a search and you will learn a lot.

The common theme is if you get hit you WILL regret it. I have not been and take all precautions.

I know a mountain biker who uses Ray guards as snake guards! But that is going the wrong way isn't it
