  1. Having done some marketing work in a previous career, I will also add that a writing class or technical writing class would also be very beneficial as you look to increase marketing effectiveness. Graphic design/video editing would also be helpful given the social media age we live in.
  2. Smart set up. My son has one of those electric scooters and they can really get moving. I know his I can get up to like 12-13mph
  3. Agree completely on this one. Reminds me of when I hear people with a paid off vehicle saying they want something with better gas mileage and I ask them well how much more gas mileage are we talking because unless you are increasing by at minimum 50% it really isn't worth the change for that reason.
  4. And not a single one has resulted in anything substantial. MLB isn't even in the conversation as players don't even have to go to the team that drafted them and it is super rare for anyone to get drafted and go to the majors without a few years in the minors. And for the record, I am a Sixers fan and the tanking sucked....the year it started Milwaukee had a worse record than us and they are perennial contenders and have had a parade already. In every sport it is about drafting right no matter where you draft and building a team with players that are cohesive units. Football is the easiest to turn it around though given starters are routinely picked up in the 3rd round and later
  5. I'll never understood the losers mentality of wanting your team to lose, especially in the NFL. There are 22 starters not counting special teams and unless there is some crazy once in a lifetime player, draft position doesn't matter as much as drafting well. Look at what Howie Roseman does year after year with the eagles with signing and drafting and trading and rarely having top draft picks to start the draft.
  6. Minnesota won a lot of close games last year and nobody expected that again this season but that doesn't take away that they are an above average team. We also have to remember that Purdy is still a new QB who is just now getting a lot of film on him for the DC to attack. Normally it is a starting QBs second season but in this case it is kind of like the middle of the second since he didn't start all last season. While I don't think the niners are any worse off after the loss, they definitely to make sure Purdy doesn't lose confidence which could easily happen after two losses like they had.
  7. not owning an AP i can only go based on my dad's and fishing with him and I can say the AP doesn't do well in current and is much slower than my NK180s so the extra torque and power would be nice if that is your application. I could also see not running full throttle and increasing range and battery life.
  8. Everyone I know, or at least the majority, who has a rudder and a motor, take the rudder off and use the motor to steer. The torque and power the motors give almost overpower a rudder. The weight diference should you go newport or torqeedo and a lithium battery would be like 30lbs max so not a huge concern there really. As far as your dual motor set up, i have seen it but it is ridiculous to me. If I wanted a trolling motor and rear motor I would rig up a pond prowler or something with dual motors and call it a day and probably save a wad of cash in the process. Don't force a hammer to do a screwdrivers job just because you are a rep for Estwing
  9. Dolphins have played two quality teams and had two quality losses.....Eagles still don't look good but they are winning and that is what matters. Hurts needs to get it together and stop turning the ball over because while the defense is good, they can't be expected to always be the savior of the team, especially with all that talent on offense.
  10. there have been some manufacturers who did this on kayaks in the past, I want to say the jackson coda and some of the ocean kayak models had the feature of a bascially exactly what you stated but I can't remember if they were deep or wide enough for a plano style box to lay flat.
  11. I am a kayak user and have been for 2+ decades but I don't think there is nearly enough to warrant a kayak specific page on here. I mean other than kayak rigging teh fishing part of kayak fishing is the same as anything else. I could see more use out of a bank fishing specific page than a kayak one myself.
  12. I am right handed and use left hand retrieve on all my reels. Made no sense to me why to switch hands
  13. you are literally only saving the weight of the actual crate itself though, whatever that may be and I would venture a guess that all the additional engineering needed would probably offset the weight savings and it also may impact glide as well depending on where the weight is now centered. I also don't evben know how you could add anything into the front area of a boat with pedal drive and make it easier to access but I guess that is why I don't design kayaks. And by hatch I don't mean internal, mine is a big opening with a flip up hood.
  14. and by making a tackle box/tray you will be adding weight to the kayak not taking it away. It will take more structural supports, probably scuppers, and more materia; plus hinges etc. I know on my kayak if I need to I throw stuff in my front hatch as I can easily get to it, even if it means getting out of my seat to go forward enough to reach. One thing that helps for me at least is I put a piece of pool noodle cut in half on my center console deal to put flies mainly but it also works for lures too. Keeps stuff easily accessible for things I know I will be using. I tried it on the side originally and it just wasn't working like I wanted it to and got in teh way but being a fly fisherman, I have a lot more to deal with in the way of snagging things than conventional anglers.
  15. best bet for that will be raising the seat and going underneath. I know some have already done drawers and others have put slots on the side that hold plano style boxes. My flexibility isn't what it used to be either but that is my own fault and I figure if I want it to be more comfortable I can do what I can to increase my flexibility and go from there.
  16. This is absolutely fantastic.....i was thinking of doing the same type of math to figure out the truth rather than what I think are better pictures and you saved me the hassle.
  17. I river fish primarily out of a kayak so I use my anchor dozens of time each trip.
  18. Cool trip but would be very low down on my list. Sure, it would be cool but you can catch snakehead of size here in the US and I would want to go after something I can't catch here at all. I'd probably go for golden dorado or taimen if had a dream trip planned and already did the peacock bass trip like yourself
  19. you can train your body to work on no sleep and i did that in preparation for the race. The two sentences don't contradict at all. Sleep is overrated yet still needed, especially after 3 days up lol
  20. Sleep is overrated. Everyone needs a different amount of sleep and for me 5-6 is plenty. I have stayed up 48 hours+ straight many times when climbing and hiking just to do it. The longest I went was 74 hours and it was for an adventure race. I crashed pretty hard after that race as it was mentally and physically exhausting.
  21. think of it as pre-seasoning for all the fish that will be floating soon.
  22. Yeah I asked the DGIF about allowing non motorized vessels to fish at night out there and they said they can't make the exception for the exact reason you stated. I fish out of a kayak and paddling it isn't bad but now I do have a motor on my kayak so it makes it much easier aka less work for me to fish a lake like that. The first time I went to Sandy was probably 10-12 years ago and I remember paddling all the way out to those trees at the far end of the lake and coming back it was ridiculously hot and i was hugging the shoreline trying to get in some shade. I also had my largest fish on there but he broke me off. I know, fish story but I saw this one and I would have been shocked if he wasn't double digits. The main reason I remember, other than it being a large fish, was that it was on a carolina rig and I never fish them and I was getting irritated casting it and then he hit. Had him at the side of the kayak and reached down to lip him and he popped free. not many fish I sit after losing them but that one I did for a few minutes.
  23. Here is what I found regarding what you are talking about. https://www.co.prince-edward.va.us/home/showpublisheddocument/6333/638255281342570000 https://www.co.prince-edward.va.us/home/showpublisheddocument/6197/638194132241670000 I don't fish there that often but I have no issues with it being electric only. One thing I would not want to see happen is the lake is not open 24 hours. There are not many of them that allow that here in VA and losing that one would suck.
