The search continues for me in the background for the ultimate utility small boat. Sometimes I feel like  I have unique criteria that makes this search nearly impossible. The truth is, I've basically had to be patient while companies figure out what kayaks users want.
The advent of roto-molding plastics has changed small sport boats forever. 20 years ago you bought fiberglass and aluminum canoes and the occasional high priced traditional kayak which is virtually worthless to anyone other than the intended inuit tribal right of passage. Once manufacturers realized that durable, lightweight boats could be produced in roto-molded plastic for a fraction of traditional manufacturing costs, the game started to change. I'm no expert in the process, but it seems pretty obvious that developing molds and kicking out higher volumes of seemingly custom plastic boats is a much more efficient process than fiberglass or aluminum.

Obviously you know this cracks me up, being rodents and all. My buddy and his dad met his brother at his house in Utah. His brother was in Iraq for an extended period and they arrived to find a full on invasion of the house in progress. The waged war that followed yielded 21 mice killed in myriad ways.

Sitting in the mancave on a Sunday night isn't unusual. Hell, it's the rule. Nevermind that it's 3o degrees or more colder in here than it was in Florida. It was the same temperature outside when we got home late Saturday as it was inside when we left. The trip was great. It''s been a few years since I've been able to have a full vacation. The wife was kind enough to find us a place with fishing opportunities nearby. I've had several beach trips with peripheral fishing opportunity, but never one like this. I finished the fishing portion of vacation on Friday morning with four more snook on top water.

Five days in the books and the end of this trip is close. I took today off from daybreak fishing (due to a late night dinner party an hour from our stay). I woke up even before the 5am alarm, but basically opted to sleep in until 8am and take the morning easy. Day four was good, and a direct result of the day three intell. I went straight to the place where I'd had some luck with the reds before daylight and started working it hard and heavy. It took some adjusting on the fly, but the bites started coming right at the official sunrise mark. After a few misses a solid hookup on a small fish was solid enough to get him in the boat. A little 15" snook was not happy to see me, but I sure was happy to see him. He was the first of 6 snook, one mystery fish and a small redfish for the day. Add a comment Read more...
