Wow, that's really terrifying. I'm VERY happy to hear that you're OK... ...for the most part. Hope you're having that finger looked at?! Even though it looks goofy, I'll be making it a point to screw in the ole' orange safety flag on my yak anytime I take it out in heavy traffic. Might not make a di...

Welcome, Mudcat!

The birds were crashing bait so I followed them and caught a half dozen fish including a few run aways I never could slow down and they eventually bit through my 80lb leader. They didnt feel like tarpon though, big sharks I assume. By the way, how do you guys handle sharks? It's a little unnerving ...

I'm hearing that the one I linked is too heavy. Getting some more feedback that says the Abu Garcia 6500C3 is what I'm looking for. Going to look more at that. How about this?: $119.94 38-900-015-02 6500C3 11.3 OZ RIGHT-HAND RETRIEVE 5.3:1 25" 14 LB/245 YDS GCI71530 1-PIECE 15-30 LB 3/8-2 OZ 7'...

OK, after all of the terrific advice, I think I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a Penn® Special Senator® 113H Reel/Slammer® Rod Combo from Bass Pro Shops for ~$106. http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=80597&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults Here are the key...

Article in Saturday's Democrat about the lake draining. Article in Sunday's Democrat showing people scooping the fish out with nets, coolers, and whatever else before they dry up or flush down the sinkhole. Too bad, really. And a storm only a day away. Mother Nature can be as moody as my wife. Speak...

Awesome, gang! Thanks for the tips! Please keep them coming!

OK, I need some good advice on an inexpensive big fish rod and reel combo. I plan to go after Tarpon and Sharks. I simply will not be going out in the salt after big fish enough to justify spending too terribly much on my first rig. I'd rather go inexpensive first and upgrade later if I really get i...

Found some pictures of a prototype Crate Mate from 3rd Grip over on another forum I frequent (PaddleZone.Net - Nice bunch of kayak fisherman!) and wanted to share them with everyone here. Definitely caught my eye! Originally posted in late January with an ETA of a "couple of months out", s...

Definitely count me in!

Both Steve and I are chomping at the bit to fish with ya, Apalach! In fact, it was a popular topic after our last trip. Expect lots of praise and buttering up soon! In the meantime, I'm out of commision for the next two weeks. My wife's birthday is next weekend so that rules out sneaking off. The we...

Maybe Steve will pop in and tell about his two bass hookup. He had two bass hooked on one mini Rapala for a bit. Pretty wild!

Abcarias (Steve) and I teamed up to hit Lake Monkey Business here in Killearn at daybreak. It was great getting to meet and chat with another yak fisherman here in Tallahassee! We fished from daybreak until around 11:30A. The entire morning, the lake was like glass. It was absolutely gorgeous. The f...

What a stud! I get excited when I hook a 2' one! I guess growing up during the "Jaws" era had its effect!

Can't wait to go after a big one myself!

Let me see if I have this right...

And no pics?
