Definately won't ever see me claim to have anything to do with the British. Don't have a problem with em, but all my European ancestors are from Germany and came over well before the Civil War. I'd probably get kicked out of the GOB's club if I claimed English Aristocracy in my blood. :smt023 Nathan

Your welcome to see it anytime. I'm on W Pensacola St. here in Tallahassee. Applying finish to a 7', 6-12#, Rainshadow spinning rod for myself right now. Haven't done a whole lot of building since moving over here in August, but plan to change that between now and Christmas. Have several Christmas g...

Thought you might be messin with him. I built about 20 rods on a home made set of V stands with a thread tensioner made out of 1x4 before I bought my wrapper. Would probably still be using the home made stuff if it wasn't for an excellent deal I got. Still use the original V stands with a home made ...

What do you have in the way of rod building equipment tin can? I've got my whole room full of fishing/rodbuilding stuff here in Tallahassee, but I'm always looking for more.

Nathan

Don't happen to build rods do you? Just a warning, if you don't, it will be next.

It's looking like it's gonna be dead low in the morning. I'm probably gonna hit Wakulla Beach about noon and hope their's some water by then. High tide is around 3:30 so their should be enough to paddle. I'm not any help on reds though. The few I catch are always bycatch while trout fishing. Never h...

Doesn't look like I'm gonna make it this Sunday. Have a meeting for a group project tomorrow afternoon. Ya'll have fun and be sure to give a report when you get back.

Here's another site with some good kayak reviews http://www.paddlezone.net. If I had a place to keep my other kayak here in Tallahassee i'd bring it over and let whoever use it to give kayak fishing a try. My 15.5' Bimini already has my living room pretty well maxed out on capacity.

Nathan

I finally brought my kayak over here this past weekend. Thinking about maybe giving Wakulla Beach a try next Sunday afternoon. May end up heading there sometime this week if I get a chance also.

Nathan

I keep saying that one of these days I'll get certified. Well, one of these days I'll get certified so I can do some diving.

Nathan

It would have to be a big gator trout for me. Definately don't complain when a red decides to eat my bait, but trout are my preference. Flounder would be my second choice in the inshore category just simply cause they taste so good browned in a skillet with butter and some italian dressing.

Nathan

I'd probably be in for an afternoon thing at Wakulla Beach that Sunday. Should have the kayak over here by then.

On loading and carrying kayaks bulk is the main problem with them. The base weight of my Bimini was over 70# and after installing rod holder bases, gps holder, and other fixed accessories I suspect it weighs well over 80#. My rack at home for my two kayaks is lengths of 2x6 nailed up on exposed stud...

Looks like I need to pay closer attention to topic titles. Slow to chime in, but yeah I fish from a Perception Bimini 15. I bought it back at the beginning of the summer and have only been able to get about a dozen trips out on it due to being too busy. It is probably a tad slower than the Tarpon 16...

I went wading there first thing Saturday morning at the advice of rev on where to try. Had the same problem with the tide being pretty low. Plan to bring my yak over after a trip home this next weekend and try it again. May hit it again wading sometime this week in the evening.
