Upper Trinity slam 12/22

long shot · Post by **long shot** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 3:39 pm

Took the new ride 135 out today to see if I could break her in. Got a few trout to 19" in about 5-6' of water. I was drifting the north shoreline and the water was pretty dirty. Had to put a popping cork over my plastic to get any hits. Saw some mullet working in about 2-3 foot of water and hooked a nice fat 26" red. Shortly after that I caught a small 15" flounder. I was catching and releasing and was so surprised to catch the flounder that I forgot the picture... :oops:

The fishing wasnt non stop but the weather was great and there were some fish to be caught.

Congrats on the nice catch and the New Ride..........How did she ride?
Did you have the old style RIDE before? How do you compare?

I don't recognize the scenery in the background. Whereabouts where you?

I didnt have the old ride but I have owned a Tarpon 120, 160 and a perception bimini. The 135 is a smooth fishing kayak. Its easy to paddle and glides a long way. If Im going to do a marathon paddle Ill probably take the Bimini but I wouldnt hesitate to paddle across the bay in the 135 either. Its a great kayak and I highly recomend it.

Sorry Red Hunter, I kinda went out on a whim today. You shouldnt have told me the rides were in at FTU....

Perfect. A sweet new boat and paddle topped off with a great day of fishing. Doesn't get much better than that.
