Congrats on your first fly rod red. Welcome to the game Barhopr!

Bob Popovics said in an article that he is using it almost exclusively now, which speaks volumes. I haven't bought it yet, but only because I don't have much time to tie lately.

You look like the golden god of kayak fishing. Good pic!

I make a loop on the end of the running line by doubling it over and then tying a couple of nail knots around it with mono. Coat the nail knots with epoxy if you're worried about them possibly coming undone. Then tie a perfection loop on the butt of your leader and connect loop to loop.

Good day RS! I guess one day I'll be able to do that with my girls. Maybe there's hope for my fishing career yet.

Global warming......maybe next snook will become regular summer catches here. Doesn't sound so bad now, does it?

Nice job Lit, and congratulations on the first cobia of the year!

I agree BD. When they're turned on, you can throw a dirty sock at them and they'll eat it.

Congratulations BD. Spin fishing will never be the same.......

Man, what a nice fish! Too bad he killed it.

Hey, count me in on this tarpon trip.

Good job Lit. There's something really satisfying about taking a day that you think is going to end up terrible and pulling a good trip out of it right at the end.

That's a nice boat. I know that the paddles fold up flat against the bottom when not in use, but how much do they inhibit shallow water use? And are they easy to take out when you're out paddling if you need to?

Yeah, I have the laundry basket version - think I got it in the little home area in Lowes. BD, you might like it. It's a smaller diameter and taller than the leaf basket version above. Only problem with it is that the spring in it is metal, so it rusts over time. They're only a few bucks to replace ...
