Who goes and talks to other people about their new setup? If they see it and say som,ething then sure but in random conversation with other people who fish nah and now you are just humblebragging and tryig to play a victim. Take it as a lesson and if you are telling everyone about your new set up then who did you really buy it for?

Andy Reid is arguably the best coach in NFL history and coming out of a bye week has lost only a handful of games. KC will roll through the Texans, Lions will trounce the Commies, Eagles will beat whover they face but I prefer the Vikings matchup and the Bills will beat the Ravens much more easily than people think. Washington looks like they found their QB of the future but time will tell as the secon year is really when you see what a QB is gonna be. Lions look poised to have a long run and so do the bills but those d**n Chiefs are just that good...

Ummmmmm….W T F did I just waste time reading. Taters and sausages, no pants? I mean first of all jeans in cold weather just shows a lack of intelligence and the rest is like the start of something out of penthouse forum.

TD who fish their own trail is a conflict of interest. Kayak fishing tournaments are shady as all get out in many cases anyways.

Hunting equivalent of not wearing a PFD in the boating world. Preventable incidents or one could say it is to prove darwin's theory

I'll be watching without question.

If you see carp cruising you aren't going to catch them 99% of the time. You need to find the ones actively feeding or chum them up like many do. My best success has been on my fly rod when I see them rooting around the bottom and it can be any time of day it seems. They are definitely finicky and can be quite line shy but man are they a blast. If you get on them during a hatch and they are keyed in on it, hold on tight because it will be ridiculous action for a while.

Love this signing. Just like I loved the Romo signings over the years. They are horrible at managing the cap and always extend players who put up regular season stats but can't win in the postseason.

You plop that abode anywhere in a neighborhood and other than the size it would fit right in. I would say it is a cottage more so than a cabin. I don't think anyone if you showed that house to someone would say aww that's a nice cabin. Location does matter too though.

Good advice for the most part on here. I wouldn't waste time watching a bunch of youtube videos unless you are looking to get a bunch of info you may not use. For a guy your size you have to go check them out and on the water itself. Keep in mind also that a guy who weighs 150 is gonna be a lot different than what you would and your own personal balance is a huge factor as well. Another option is seeing if there are any local kayak clubs and their members might let you check out their boats in the water or a demo days. As far as the chad hoover thing...he is heavily biased and sponsored as are many so take that with a grain of salt.

That is exactly what it is. Cowboys have not been able to win in the playoffs and they know they will get money from cowboys fans if the line is worth looking at to the casual fan.

I'll have to find the study but it basically said that there is no statistical difference on morning versus evening versus any other time of the day. Anecdotally speaking vast majority of my largest largemouth have been smack dab in the middle of the day and for smallies pretty much all have been mid day. This isn't to say that you won't catch them evening or morning but that it doesn't matter unless you want it to matter

Buy a cover, i recommend carver and have used them for years. Also if storing long term and it has the cradles, I would swap out for some sort of bunks instead. I use 4" PVC pipe and store my kayak on the trailer year round and have no issues. Locking it up will keep honest people honest. Overall though, I would have no concerns about storing it on a trailer.

I use one of the da bomb anchors with the chain paired up with an anchor wizard chute and crank. I have done all the other ways and since I have done this, no issues. I primarily fish rivers and if it isn't enough to hold me, I probably shouldn't be anchoring anyways.

It is part of the gamesmanship of the sport. They play 45 minutes each half and have no time outs no breaks and minimal subs. So yes they flop but it is kind of an understood part of the game. There was a time it used to be way worse in the EPL and they started giving yellow cards for it. I did read one time that of all the major sports actual sports play soccer has the most action of any sport and it isn't even close. And that spray is ridiculous really, it is basically a concentrated ice pack with some pain reliever built in. I have used it when I played basketball and it is like instant ice pack rather than taking 20 minutes. Messi's ankle looked bad though last night for sure.

Check your regs but a public lake is just that public and as long as you are in the water you are good to go. Most of the lakes I fish have houses all along the shore and I am legal in fishing wherever I want.

Lakes are private unless managed by the state, or county they reside in and labeled as public. Lakes with public access points fall into this category. You can also go to the GIS in pretty much every county here in VA and see exactly who owns what. I frequent a slower moving swampy creek that is surrounded by private land and have been hassled by peopl hunting the land that I cannot be there which I know is false. I looked it up and it turns out that the majority of the water I fish is owned by the fed as protected wetlands and I would also surmise that the semi-permanent structures they put in place are not legal either. The GIS is also a great tool to see how wide the right of way is for any bridge that crosses a river or creek as it is public property and can be used for a primitive access. If they are not on the navigable list then it is listed as above. Nobody owns the water itself so you are free to float but technically trespassing if you get out and touch the ground. Most land owners are fine if they see you out wading in the creek itself but I always ask anyways if possible. Now to throw another wrinkle in it all, here in VA there are a few places where it is under the kings grant and they in fact do own the water itself as it travels in their property which is under ltitgation and has been for a long time. Bottom line for me is if you're questioning if it is public or proivate do your homework and find out what is the truth and ask permission or fish away. I am not an ask for forgiveness not permission person in these cases. To me it seems like people questioning the gray area kind of know the truth but want to find some loophole to use to fish an area. There is a lot of water out there so just go fish that instead.

nope not gray at all in Virginia. The state labels waters that are deemed navigable and it was based on ability for commerce. Some rivers have parts that are deemed navigable and other parts are not.

This isn't true at least here in Virginia and the other states I have fished in. A lake can be fully owned and not public, now rivers are different, except in a few cases, where the water is public but technically the land is owned by a private party unless it is a navigable water at which case it cannot be owned and is public up to the high water line.

we can switch after the "shore lunch"

i'd be willing to get a tandem kayak if you visit

After reading this thread, I am glad I kayak fish.....as long as you are legal i'll fish with you once, depending how that goes ther emay or may not be another foray.

Fishing from the bank is a lot different than from a kayak/jon boat. Opens up more areas that bank fishermen can't access.

The one that makes a good sammich and likes wood.

I am gonna get up there in the next month or so. I know the bassmaster kayak series has their event there the weekend of the 26th. Usually I have been up there 2-3 times by now...probably my favorite place to fish
