I just ordered a pair of Brewster ATR from HUK to try, $20.48 shipped.https://www.hukgear.com/products/huk-brewster-atr-sharkskin

Took the kayak out today and over did it, stayed out in it for 5 hrs. The high temp today in TN was 100* which was the first time in 10 years.The heat really kicked my butt, the fishing was tough too. I only caught this 11" and a 9".

My little town opened a PF last year and Ive been going every since, havent had nor seen any issues with staff or patrons. I think you over reacted a little bit and Im a hot-head sometimes. I drive a lifted Wrangler without doors from early Spring until its too cold to stand it so no worries of getting blocked like that. Hopefully your day got better after you left.

@Koz @Swephoenix this kayak is basically a copy of the kayak I have a Native Slayer Propel 10. I havent had any water come through the drive slot or cover in the 3 years Ive owned it and I also have my transducer mounted to the drives cavitation plate. The cover on mine does have a rubber gasket on it.

@MN Fisher I started with yamas, swapped to some color changing and they done it as well. Ill invest in the VMC set-up at some point. @J Francho I only caught 5 total! I did lose a couple from flipping the bail with hook/worm too close to rod. Im ok with it though since my left hand has limited use, makes me a tad clumsy.

I went through close to two bags of worms today. I was using o-rings and putting the hook just under it and was easily losing the worms.

@MN Fisher I couldnt resist and ordered 1 as well, never seen them that low, love the Fuego I have.

With the major heat wave we have in TN I probably should stayed home but I took the kayak out for a few hours this morning anyways. I ended up catching four 10.5",13,25",13.5" and 15.5" All caught on wacky rigged senkos and all were very shallow. I also managed to lose 3.5 lbs of water weight too!

Born and raised in TN but Im a die hard Notre Dame fan. GO IRISH!

Where Im going to fish at determines how much I bring, its usually about 10-15 minutes to load/unload so around 40-60 mintues total for a trip.I keep my kayak on its trailer in the garage and never leave it loaded in the truck overnight. I only use the trailer if I drive my Jeep.

Still havent found any larger fish yet but these will help with my tourney, both are 13.25".

Ive had an older GoPro for a few yrs and never used it. My dad lives a few hours away and stated he would like to see some vides of me kayak fishing since my accident. Anyways, I threw this together for him last night of yesterdays catches.

I had an aquarium years ago full of Cichlids, I bet they are fun to catch. Welcome to Bass Resource!

Found this brand new Rapala jointed shad rap today just laying in grass by my truck.

Took the kayak out for a few hours this morning before the lake got busy, thought I was going home skunked then managed a tiny bass(no pic). About an hour later missed the 13.5" pictured on the jig I found with a menace grub trailer. I quickly swapped rods and threw out a 10" Havoc Federale in purple brown belly t-rigged and just let it sit, twitched it twice and started to slowly reel and he hit it hard. I caught the 10.5" on the jig with menace grub trailer and called it a day. Both bass ,while not big, will help with the Catch22 tourney Im in for Veteran suicide awareness. Im hoping to cull them later on.

After my accident/stroke last May the Drs put me on an anxiety med to help with PTSD, it caused me to gain 40 lbs. I quit taking it and have been hitting the gym regularly. At this point Ive lost around 18 lbs and feel much better. It has also helped with anxiety and irritability.
