over 80 lb. for an 11' kayak is a lot, as is the price tag. JMO

you could always volunteer

every year seems to be getting worse here in the northeast. and preventives on dogs are getting less and less effective. currently I use seresto collars, advantix 2, and a bandana treated with permethrin on each of my 3 rescues. I still find ticks on them, 2 of my dogs have shown lyme in their bloodwork past 2 years. ticks are the only thing in nature that have no purpose that I know of.

stick to writing, Henry!

you call that a gator?

"oar" keep both. kayak for solo days, jon boat for family days

If you are going out with your family, especially with a child (life jacket at all times, please) a john boat is best. Not the greatest in wind, but a flat bottom is nice. two paddles are better. but for solo trips, you might be able to find a used kayak cheap. better in wind/current, easy transporting.

Get a fly rod, and do the double haul

Kermit. he's an excellent fisherman!

why?

try fly fishing. you might even like it better. streams/rivers rarely freeze solid, even here in the northeast. trout, smallmouth bass, pike, carp, etc.

You will get interference that way, if you tap into the trolling motor battery

sumthin fishy goin on here

Maybe he just identifies as a smallmouth?

maybe you are just facing the wrong way?

thanks for the link, I was hoping to find it locally. It used to be at Walmart, Dicks, and local tackle shops. I thought, maybe, it was bought out by a bigger company.

what has become of Yo Zuri hybred line. can't find it locally any longer

I have an Aqua view, while it does take away time from actual fishing, it is fun to play with. I think kids will enjoy it, not only to see fish, turtles, etc., but to find lost treasures. I have found lures, fishing rods, anchors.....but no bodies, yet :-)

much the same here in Ct. look at the bright side, at least you had coffee :-)

Once you figure out what type of fish you are trying to catch, look to ebay, or other places for a used Orvis Clearwater set up. Also might be easier if you started out by using a slower action rod, as they are more forgiving to "less than perfect" casting. Check local fly shops for the type of fly that's working in the places you will be fishing. Wooly Buggers work well in most places

Wow! that's a monster!! Where did you get him?

gee, only 5? remember how much fun we had as kids. when we were lucky to have just one

build it on a catamaran base, you could use the sails at times. very stable too. less drag than those barrels

that's a lot of weight, and wind resistance. good luck
