Stringers

I had a great day fishing. I caught a 39/40 inch striper. Loads of schoolies too. When I put the big guy on the stringer, 5 mins later he was gone. I learned a leason. The chain stringer will get poped open by big fish. I heard him banging against the kayak. I then turned around and his was gone. I must come up with a stringer for big fish. Any ideas.

First day in the Ocean....

My adventure started off launching in pea soup. I could hardly see 5 feet. And to top if off, my VHF radio started to give me problems. It got stuck in a lock mode and didn't work. Good thing I saw a fellow kayak fisherman. I tagged with him. About 10 mins into it, I landed a just small keeper. It was very close. 1/4 of inch shy. All in all, it was a great day.

Mirage pedals...

Today, I put a 2 ounce weight on each pedal. It will help keep the pedal down when pedaling. It was bugging me everytime I pedaled. I hope it works.

A day to catch up...

It's a holiday week-end. I decided not to go fishing. I need to catch up on those outstanding chores and family time. It did play around with the yak. Just a few modifications to the milk crate. The crate is a special in itself....

Self Resue

I finally did it this week. Last week, I tried and stopped. Some people from shore were watching. I thought they were going to call 911. I did try and failed. I notice my PFD was lose and I needed something to grab. I felt good in successfully doing it. I will do it a few more times........

Gorilla glue

I went fishing on Saturday and damaged one of my ST fins. I was surprised that I was able to repair it with Gorilla glue. It had a slight hole. It's drying now. I'll let you know if it works.

Another rainny weekend...

With all the rain in April and May, I have thought a lot about rigging. Changing and thinking about it again. It's hard to really think if it's going to work. Sitting on dry land vs. water is not the same. I guess I need to get in the water and think again of ways to improve.
