I plan on being at the Slabs on Tuesday, if the wind/wave forecast holds. Text me at 713.594.6539 to coordinate meet-up times.

Ahhhh, corporate nitpicking! Only the lawyers win!!! Too bad, I liked the sound of "Truth Reels". I don't own one but probably would if I didn't already have 6 of another brand. I used one for a few months when they were called "Release" and it functioned well.......in fact, very...

Two extra feet make a big difference in paddling in a straight line, in speed and usually weight capacity. The longer a kayak the faster it is and the easier it is to paddle without the bow wagging from side to side. The shorter a kayak is the more maneuverable it is and usually the lighter it is. S...

Legitimate questions are never offensive...............that one of the things this forum is for..............to shorten users learning curve.

I am not fully understanding your space dilemma, but in 99% of the cases, you can not hang a kayak between the garage door and ceiling..............just not enough room. I have always had to go between the garage door (when opened) and the back wall and hang the kayak crosswise across the garage. ht...

Cool, enjoyable piece............you surely will treasure that forever.

Christmas hustle & bustle is gone and the weather is right...............time to go fishing. Planning on fishing BTB at Sea Rim area this Wed. Weather forecast is sunny with air temps in high 60's, single digit winds and 1 ft or less waves. What more can you ask for? Post up, if interested in jo...

Enjoyed the video..............congrats on a good fishing year!

I, also, pretty much limit my fishing to "ice cream" weather/surf/wind/wave days!!!

Been watching this thread, so I guess I might as well join in...............I will be 76 years young in a couple of weeks. I didn't get into kayaking until age 65 and since then I have had a total blast. The first 3-4 months into this sport, I was a bay fisherman, then I heard about BTB................

You will want something with at least a 550-600 lb weight capacity. Factor in your weight plus the weight of all gear, seat, cooler, etc. You don't want to exceed about 70% of the stated weight capacity, otherwise performance will suffer and you'll be pushing the safety limits. Demo if you can, and...

Nice trip, congrats to your wife on catching her 1st bull reds................impressive considering the weather conditions.

I already got them............but I have hurt more fish with them than with a gaff.

Nice video and great fishing trip...............sure beats reared back in a lazyboy watching NFL.

I have been using a gaff on bull reds for years. Don't use a lot but primarily when the fish is hooked deep in the throat. Reason, often when trying to lift a heavy bull red into my PA 14, the weight of the fish will tear the hook out. I figure my gaff and 15 inch vice grips do one whole lot less da...

I know my time is coming, some day.............but thankfully I am still able to do the kind of fishing I like, BTB. Next month I will be 76 and do notice a slight lack of endurance. It's not the fishing that tires me but that dang 2-2 1/2 hour drive to get to the Gulf to fish. I really, really hate...

No plans, this week.

Nice video, as usual, Brandon.....................what happened to your offshore fishing??

What is this world coming to??? First they got Christmas stuff in store before Halloween and now DelSol is producing his end-of-the-year video in November..................ah, changing times!

Great sounding trip, guys...........congrats to all on their catches!!!

Who's afraid of a Super Moon??? Bigfost and I met up at Sea Rim on Tuesday and were greeted with these conditions: Temp - 62°'s Winds - 10-15 due West Surf - 1 ft Offshore waves - 2-3 ft swells Extreme Low Tide What you see in the pic below is the first gut and sandbar completely exposed, we had to ...

Leave it to Spoon to track down Nude Beach People!

Absolutely 2WD friendly.............better than HI.

Ok, I'm in............C U guys in the am.

I been watching the weather and it keep improving and improving................so I am about 85% there tomorrow. Will make final decision this afternoon.

I need 9 more bull reds to hit 100 for the year.
