For any other D.O.A. lure fans, here is a great site with any and all lures, colors, kits, etc. covering just about all the bases. Billy Miller put me onto this site and I thought that it was good enough that some of the rest of you might be interested. Thanks, Billy! Also it is a Florida site--gott...

Hey Litt,
You might want to check out the Malibu Forum over on KFS. Lots of good info there, as well as comparisons of the Extreme with other Malibu yaks. Also species-specific info on most other top yak brands.

Loading a kayak on a tall vehicle such as a SUV can be a chore and often requires a small footstool or ladder of some sort to avoid throwing your back or shoulder out. A big help in loading is the bar extender system that both Thule and Yakima market. Thule calls theirs an "Outrigger Lift Assis...

Kinda makes you wonder about their vaunted sonar capabilities, but in the case of the ferry, it sounds like a calf was involved. Maybe he mistook the ferry for his mama...?

"You have zipped the zippytie where your hand comfortably fits around the rod & Reel. Personally, I place mine high enough on the handle where it dosent interfere with my grip on the pole. (jsut a suggestion)" Good Point mj--I cut those suckers off as close to their base as possible us...

Sure hope to make the Social--got a conflict with a Boy Scout leader campout that weekend. Once a year a bunch of the former (and current) Troop 44 scoutmasters and any of the guys still in the area get together for a reunion at Three Rivers. I think it must be about 10-11 years now that our kids ha...

Dang--even the big boys are having problems...

mj,
Darn--I missed out on the T-shirt! But thanks for the headsup--I figured someone else must have come up with this somewhere...

Hey lit,
Right on both counts! But tell WH that my reel looks so good because of excellent maintenance! .

As to your second point, the Kayak Forum seemed to be a little slow lately, so I thought I would stick this post there to see if it got any bites--and sure enough it did ...

Don't know about you folks, but it always bugs me to buy what I consider to be a fairly nice rod only to find there is no hook keeper loop near the butt to keep my plug or hook from flying about my vehicle, boat, or yak while underway. However, there is a simple (and cheap!) solution to this problem...

Yeah g--it's hard to believe they can sell a bag of this quality for that kind of money! I have seen similar bags going for $70-100 bucks on the Web--sure hope they have a lot more going for them than these bags do for that kind of money, although I don't know what that might be. Maybe genuine Siber...

[quote="Billy Miller"]Perfect bag, I have been looking for sometime to finding a affordable bag to keep fish." Hey Billy, Be glad to pick one up for you tomorrow on my way home. If you like you can shoot me an e-mail: apalach@mac.com and we can set up a place and time to meet. They ke...

For some time now I have been looking for a fish bag that is well made and large enough to handle a 24" or longer fish (may as well dream while I’m at it!). There are some good bags out there, but most of them are way too pricey for my needs. I had heard of the bags sold by Sam’s Club, but ...

There are two basic materials for gear leashes that I have found to work well: old coiled cell phone charger cords (including even110V coiled appliance cords) and good old nylon parachute-type cord. 1. Let's start with the coiled cell phone charger cords. I use these mainly as my rod leashes. Any ty...

WOW--that made for a pretty expensive sinker! But think of all the fun you could have had if you had embedded a 7/0 hook in the chum block attached to the steel cable and looped around a sturdy (really sturdy!) cleat. Takes chummin' to a whole different level...
