Hey Zipper Welcome to the addiction! Do yourself a favor, save up another $150 for a Pescador from Academy. Or see if you can find one used closer to your budget on the classifieds section here, or craigslist. You will be very happy with that kayak. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31CvB%2BBTo...

Jeez!

Hope it was a spent round.

Howdy !

Lots of great folks here, and whether they know it or not, have taught me a lot !

Good for you!

My first time out, a couple of weeks ago, resulted in a lost (thank goodness) hardhead.

Was great meeting you and your buddy! Thanks for giving me the rundown on your Cuda and FTU. See you again! Hey... good meeting you too...! That was only my second time paddling armond bayou... and I think I proved my inexperience by eating in on the launch! The next day my @$$ was killing me... fe...

Welcome aboard and yes .. it's amazing how quickly it becomes addictive.

Just wait until the rigging bug bites.

Wore me out just watching.

Thanks for sharing and great video!

Here is a pic of my hand. Make sure your first aid kit can deal with something like this happening when your out there by yourself. Umm .. OUCH! I've made a basic kit. (need to add a tube of Super Glue now) I have 3 small misting tubes. 1 Alchohol 1 Hydrogen Peroxide 1 Iodine. Assorted water proof ...

A big thanks to ranben2762 (Randy) for getting this shot.

Me and my Pescador 12.0 out on her maiden voyage.

Duramax, I'm in San Leon as well and have been itching to try Dickinson Bay out. There are two spots that I know of where you can launch. There's a boat ramp near Top Water Grill, and then another one under the 146 bridge, not sure how secure a vehicle left there would be though. Oh yeah, and the ra...

Having only just started to fish saltwater and really wanting to try getting some specs, this is info that I really needed!

Thanks SFT!

Howdy John,

I'm relatively new myself here and have found a wealth of information here.

I live just south of you so will looking forward to seeing more posts and possible on the water sometime.

Uncle Vinny.

Well done guys, and a big THANKS to the troops.

My nephew just returned recently from his final tour at FOB Spin Buldak (sp)

Fortunately he's in one piece and back home with family.

Uncle Vinny.

Looks good !

makes me wished I had saved my money on the Yak Attack light pole I recently bought.

Welcome to the sport! A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work. You can tell by your casual outfits that your newbies. Thanks for the welcome! We might need some fashion advice so we don't stick out as newbies. What gave it away? The grass stains on my mowin' shoes, the sweaty $3 stra...

Had a great time as well, and what I would consider a great first time out!

Randy, I had a blast and enjoyed meeting you as well and hope our schedules work out for a repeat in the future.

Uncle Vinny

If the wife didn't already have plans for us I'd be as easy as you Uncle Vinny! But think I'm going to go BTB Thursday so spending time with the wife Wednesday is not questionable! :mrgreen: Ahhh ... the blessing of bachelorhood. ;) Completely understandable SK. Don't think I'm ready for BTB yet so...

Uncle Vinny, I need to knock some more of the new off of my Pescador 12 as well! If you don't have any takers for Dickinson Bay...I'm gonna put in at Clear Lake Park about 8am Wednesday and fish up in Mud Lake. I don't know what the heck I'm doing but you're welcome to join me! Anybody else for tha...

Thought I'd post an update. Ended up getting a single flush mount and put it behind the seat and left of the back hatch. This is for the ya gear light pole. Decided to hold off on the rod holder for now. Like most here I did get a milk crate (wally world) which I had to trim down the corners so it w...

Definitely have those!

Howdy !

You've got me beat. Haven't fished since before my dad passed back in '96 and then that was fresh water, and up until a couple of weeks ago had never been in a kayak. (and have two now!)

Thanks guys!

I definately get nervous when I have the drill in hand and the bit gets closer to the boat.

Will absolutely be using the suggested cardboard template!

In regard to the Scotty mounts the difference in height is drastic so I prefer the flush mount Scotty mounts. Even on a just cosmetic appearance, it just looks more streamlined. So what is on my list? Scotty Rod/Reel holder, another scotty flush mount just behind my seat for the YakAttack light pol...

Hi Vinny, I have used both on different boats. The first time I went with deck mounts because I was nervous about cutting holes in my boat (drilling was hard enough). Then I went with flush mounts because I was starting from scratch and wanted the best possible (for me) setup. I went with the flush...

Didn't get to go out last week, but I have the next three days off (Oct 8th, 9th and 10th) if anyone is interested?
