Tommy Samuels commented on Ryan Lipski's blog post 'Fishing from a touring kayak?'

I carry an anchor, a stake out stick, and a drift chute most of the time. The anchor can be as simple as a 5 pound dumbbell tied to a length of 550 cord. I always rig an anchor trolley on my boats whether they're sit in or sit on top. you need 3 car…

Thanks for the help and inspiration. I'll get some pics of it up when it's done. I do have one other question. Is an anchor worth it? Touche on the rolling, my friend. Touche!

Steve Messana replied to Beau Stiles's discussion 'Tarpon 120 stern & bow lights'

The groove that you are referring to is where the optional rudder will rest. See the image here: Tarpon Rudder As far as mounting lights with out drilling I think you options are limited to something with a suction cup like this light.

This is how I roll 200+ miles one way to go fishing

I drive everyday! I drive at least 55 miles every week day just commuting to and from work. And I live roughly 200 miles from the salt. So when it came time to buy a new vehicle last year, I searched for economical car that was comfortable for my 6'4" frame. I tried everything including the Honda Element, Subaru Forrester and a lot of small wagons. Unbelievable to me, the Toyota dealer had me try a Scion xB. It worked!

I couldn't believe how comfortable it was for me to drive. And the… Continue

Is Winter finally ending?

So in my 3 years back in NC, this winter has been the coldest and snowiest yet. Slightly abnormal based on averages. However, as the days get longer and the sun shines more things should be warming up a bit allowing time for fishing without freezing to death on the water.

With that the tournament season is kicking off. I have registered for the IFA Event in Charleston SC the weekend of March 20th. And I have registered myself and both of my daughters (11 and 9) in the Carolina

Fishing from a touring kayak?

Hi!

I have a Tsunami 140 with a rudder on it and wondering if anyone else on here uses a touring style kayak for fishing? I really want to outfit mine with a rod holder or two and am pretty excited but I want to see if someone else has done it to potentially gather up some advice...

rare day....

It has been an unusually cold and windy and rainy winter for us in deep south Texas this year. But on the rare occasion that the conditions do cooperate we have had some nice trips. Light west wind made the Gulf of Mexico as beautiful as i have seen it in a while and that was all the incentive needed to grab a boat and go. No fishing, just paddling and enjoying some beautiful scenery with my favorite paddling partner.

SPRING FEVER

Bought a ride 135 at Nats Sporting Goods today in Bowling Green, Ky. Rudder was installed, but had no rod holders, so I picked up 2 and will put them on myself. I was really happy with the quality and design and feel like it will be very durable. I was also glad I could put rods in the tunnel well, because I have lost them before getting to the good spots. Thanks for all the photos and tech support, which give me lots of ideas. Hope to have some good photos of fishin' trips soon!
