Re: Matagorda Rig Question

MWatson71: if you want to catch sharks then go to High Island beach (corner of 87 and 124). Launch from the beach go out about 1/2 mile you will catch 3 types: bull red, sharks and gafftops.
Sometimes you will hook up to something bigger than you want to bargain …:)

Please let us know how do you like that new yak?
Hope with Robert Field experience, he should already have given the manufacturer all the good tips in design that kayak to meet all BTB criteria…. :P

New pedal kayak maker

There is a new pedal kayak maker in Houston that they have a big discount for pre-order for near half price. Check out the video of Robert Field… I think he is the rep of this Kayak company. The pre-order discount will last couple days and then it will go full price. https://www.indiegogo.com/projec...

The condition was perfect with low wind and low waves but Could not find any kings or no hearing any radio chatting on king hookup. :( Que...

Try this fish bag cooler. It will fit most kings.

It’s length is 50”…. Most kings would fit inside.

Re: offshore gear question

It is depending on the target species.
40# braid can take a little longer to bring the fish in if it is a big fish or strong fish.
8’ rod length is a little long for offshore unless he likes to cast top water lures. 7’ is the average length.

Re: Transporting 15.7' kayak

Agreed about using the ladder rack is making more sense (unless the kayak is too heavy like Pro Angler). Because sticking out so far from the truck bed will be more difficult for parking at restaurants or public parking.
