This is my ride....

Post by knee_deep »

If you guys see this little white 240 SX in the parking lot, I'm out there somewhere. My name is Sidney Moore, I'm 42 years young and love to lure fish. Building a 8 wt Fly Rod right now, soon to get into that. I have this Red Redfish 12, and if I'm out there on the water, I'm pretty easy to get along with. Feel free to say Hello. If I have extra of whatever and you need it, it's yours. This board seems really cool and I'm glad I'm on it. I live in Victoria, and will be doing more fishing in the near future, hope to get to know some of the people on here. I have quite a bit to learn about this kayak stuff, but so far- it's been more than fun. Oh, and I thought ya'll might get a laugh on the yak being almost as big as the ride, I'm thick skinned, so make jokes if you like, it's all good. I don't mind.

I guess it is to late, but I would lay that yak flat on the rails instead of up in the air. I even get better gas milage with the yak upside down on the rails. Post back up after a few trips to the coast and tell us how you are doing. The learning curve us much quicker if you fish with a seasoned pro. Good luck

You should try and put it across to act as wings. You might get to the water faster. =) kidding aside, the setup is pretty good. Good luck and God bless.

Cool introduction!! I myself am fairly new around here, so to speak. Haven't been real active in the past few years as more of a lurker, but looking to get more involved on the site. This kayak habit is an "addiction". Welcome to the board!

Thanks to all for the welcome and advice. Yeah, skinner- I had thought of laying it down, but I'm getting another one pretty soon, then they'd have to go side by side. I'm getting another rack as well. Plus when I go to Austin to fish and ride, my Mountain Bike will ride over on the passenger side.

Good point. At one time I was carring two yak on top and the airodynamics (sp) caused the radio antenna to wipp and break off. Good Luck and easy going.

welcome to the site. this is a great place to learn and the few I've met on here are really nice and helpful. ..... good looking yak you got there, pretty much an "all arounder". I got the same one(2007), even same color but my wells are not as deep as yours. what year is that?

knee_deep, I also live in Victoria. If you are looking for a fishing partner and are free on a weekday PM me. I am by no means a seasoned pro but I like to get out on the water every chance I get. I aslo just got a fly rod and am hoping to hook up with a few tailers.

Welcome,

I like fishing and Mtn. biking as well. I go to Austin to visit the family a lot too. Stopped by Fayette to check it out recently and will definently be making the half-way stop to fish it more.

Brad, we'll have to work on a trip, I'd like that. As for the other comments my Redfish is an 09, and I've had my 240 for about 5 years, and it thinks it's a truck probably, with all the gear, bikes and hobbie stuff that it's cluttered with. Thanks again to all for the warm welcomes.
