Jackson Big Rig HD/FD 550lb capacity add foot power later very stable but I don’t know about roof topping it. It’s 125lbs https://store.jacksonadventures.com/jackson-kayak-big-rig-hd-2021/

I didn’t see that radio at first so all I could think of was how much I’d have to yell at that distance. What model radio is it?

One thing I do miss about a boat is having someone to talk to. Sure I have some great conversations with myself but I do miss someone else within talking distance

85lbs empty then all my stuff. End of day it feels 150 lbs

Had someone at the ramp with a ss127 want to try out my ctug before he bought one. It kept slipping off the pads. It just wouldn’t work right. I’ve built 3 pvc carts. Two broke right away using 1” pipe. My Big Rig is heavy. I went up to 1 1/4” or 1 1/2” and it hasn’t broke yet but it creaks and groans. That’s why I bought the ctug.

Yep 60 on the nose with gps and speedo. Even with two people. Ranger 374 18’

lol I’m not sure if this was a compliment or a dig!?!

Biggest thing I like about my kayak is I can afford it at this time in my life. I had a Ranger bassboat and it’s a lot of money to maintain, gas bills, big enough vehicle to tow it. I just can’t justify that anymore. But I do miss the thrill of 60 mph down a lake (only had 150hp back then).

I live out in the country and don’t go far from home so no edc. When I do go to the city area I carry a Glock 19. 4 spare mags in my car

The best PFD you can afford

What is a Neko hook?

That looks just like mine. Same length action also. I bought mine off of Craigslist in Dec for $75. Haven’t used mine yet but will next week

I just did the dumbbell weights thing. I have to admit that was kinda scary. When you’re fishing you don’t really pay attention to how much the rod is bent. But when you’re looking right at it seeing bent right over trying to lift 2 lbs it got me worried

I know this isn’t what you’re really talking about but could I use this on top of my grill grates? https://www.amazon.com/Ecolution-Grill-Griddle-Stovetop-Reversible/dp/B00E3NMCBU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=flattop%2Bgrills%2Bfor%2Bstove%2Btop&qid=1617106538&sprefix=flattop&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTEhMT1YzS0g5TTJEJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjQzMTQ0MlI3V0xaTTRTUE9SNyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTkzNTM3MVgyVTAxWThQRE1YTiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1 Im not much of a griller and seem to get a lot of grease flares ups. I always thought a flattop would be nice

I have no idea where I learned to set a drag but what I do is grab rod with my right hand, line through the guides, have the line about 4’ out of tip, grab line with left hand and start pulling. Set drag so it just slips. Did that make sense how I wrote it

Boy do I miss that feeling. It’s been 20yrs

I’ve bumped my rods with the paddle, and lifting the lid on my crate has almost dumped a rod. You just never know

Semi-dry Riesling is our favorite. I’m cheap when it comes to alcohol that I’ll just pee out in 15 min. None are over $15 Not sure if in your area but here’s a few Relax Château St Michelle Snap Dragon Schmitt Sohne

Ziggy with his morning coffee

8lb dumbbell is more than enough. I use a 3 lb mushroom anchor. I also use a 18” wind sock to slow down my drift when the wind kicks up. Have fun and always wear a good PFD

Thank you I didn’t even notice the victory was listed. I bought one!

I was all set to buy from TW a St. Croix Mojo 7’ 1” Med Hvy Fast Casting Rod but now they are back ordered till May 7 and I’m impatient. I’ve got TW gift cards burning a hole in my pocket. What’s the next rod up you would get with spending no more than $200. I’m not sure what it will be used for yet. All I know is I don’t have a med hvy rod.

Stable in what way? Standing, big waves? Most people will say Hobie but I’ve never been in one. I have a Jackson Big Rig. Is it the most stable I don’t know. I stand in it all day. I’ve been out in some bigger waves - well at least big waves for small lakes. I had to really stand on the side to try to turn it over so I could see how far I could go

Yeah I probably should have just done that.
