    Next yak ?

    The Madison

    Admittedly a rabid fan of anything Taylor Sheridan has a hand in- (Wind River. Hell and High Water, Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness, Tulsa King, Landman) this one is fit for viewing with one's spouse, a feeling we only get with Starz's Outlander. Michelle Pfeiffer is still...

    AI

    Is it normal to be getting AI generated summations on email exchanges? Just got one from a lengthy thread regarding my deer nuisance permit. Completely accurate but this “s it” is freakin’ me out ! Note: this was not herein but from emails exchanged via my cell phone.

    Airgun pistol: Beeman P17

    just pre-ordered one at airgunsdepot.com but probably not getting here until January. Yesterday I had decided to run a rod through my long guns, do some light oiling in the receivers etc., but discovered that two of my airguns would not hold air. One is the Crosman 760 I got in 1966 (and...

    First fall surf trip

    Open town sandy beach, no weed, light breeze at my back, no sweep, no bait, no fish but some birds occasionally diving and in close. The temperature rose nearly 20° while I was there this morning. Tried bucks, tins, plugs, rubber shad. Did see two guys dragging a fish back when I first got...

    If you only net one fish...

    ...let it be a personal best on a kayak. Almost talked myself out of going with the onshore wind forecast. As I was paddling out the creek two boats were hightailing it to their respective docks. Uh-oh. Anyway, after finding most if not all snappers already too large to liveline for my...

    Blues, peanuts and just some snappers

    Out the creek the last of outgoing and finally got two snappers small enough for bait. First really bad wind knot in years and those two would be it this morning ! Tremendous hit just off a channel pole in less than 6' of water at dead low. I got to test my new net after what seemed like a...

    Penn 4400 SS No non reverse

    I have other reels but have had this one for years and wonder if it is worth repairing. You tube seems to indicate that there is a "dog" on one part that when the non-reverse lever is used it stops the handle/crank from back reeling. I didn't think the reel got so much work that it wore that...

    Net needed

    Without breaking the bank, I need to replace my landing net after the hoop separated landing a blue yesterday. I have an old one with a dilapidated net but am unable to separate the hoop from handle and so can't reuse the net from the broken one. Amazon had practically none that did not fold...

    Backbay blues

    What little snappers in the way of quantity has already turned into quality as most in my area are at least 7 and 8 inches long, with most being too long to liveline. But Saturday the first blue of about 18 or 19" was hooked in the lip and ended on a stringer. Using the remaining smaller...

    Peanuts or snappers ?

    I have been having one of my worst seasons in years in my backbay kayaking forays. No keepers in a month. (I have been seeing dolphins on most paddles during this past month.) What I have yet to see is the usual bunch of peanuts getting attacked but instead the dolphins are herding and...

    what size spinning reel ?

    Although it could be technique, based on casting distance, I think I may be using a reel too small for the rod. The reel is a Penn Battle II 4000. The rod is an Okuma Rockaway 11' Medium 1102M rated at 3/4 to 3 oz. What size reel should I be looking at ? 4500 ? Even larger ? I want...

    just shorts again but

    on the way back in had 2 or 3 dolphins swim past me in Massapequa Cove. Was shocked last year when I say a pod of 4-5 on the opposite side of biltmore shores, and then hooked into a sand tiger shark while livelining snappers just off the same waterfront homes. I never caught another keeper...

    new kayak carrier

    so after starting kayak fishing at age 54 twenty years ago and using a bed extender on a mommy van, then trading that in for a 2010 Ranger with its 6' bed, I have finally traded in the Ranger for a new awd hybrid Maverick. But to enter the 21st century with its electronic suite I had to settle...
