Update and pictures!

Great event for kids! HoneyCreekTackle Anyone joined, or fishing any GRBY events? I’m going to fish the Southeast region events this year and interested to see if any Hoosiers are joining in. Only cost is the tournament themselves which has payback.

I live in the same State and have never had an issue with delays or shipping but,,,,,,,,, I did have one instance where my refund for a rod took several weeks, and several emails and finally a call. After the call it was 24 hours when the refund showed up. Always wondered why it took so long and so many attempts, but I did receive it. I personally don’t believe they are dishonest, just operating on a shoe string and spread thin. I now either go in person and/or call first to confirm stock, delivery and payment details for future purchases which isn’t possible for most. However a simple phone call can solve a lot of issues prior to pushing “buy”. And always buy through PayPal, they will go to bat for you with disputes and get your money refunded.

Best I’ve found

Awesome deal, congrats! Enjoy the freedom.

I totally agree with @Koz Get a pedal kayak that you can add a motor to and have the best of both worlds

I think the decision would be between pedal and power. If content with loading into the truck I’d opt for the pedal power. If wanting something faster then a motorized kayak is the solution, but then you’re adding additional expense (motor, battery, trailer) and complexity. Personally, I found my OT Autopilot 120 to be a hassle, heavy and cumbersome. Spotlock was nice(ish) but not an end all do all option as any motor is not “hands free” at all. There’s the constant push button remote control which seemed to be in my hand constantly. Cruising a bank with the motor and using foot control to steer was simple but the constant simple adjustments always required the remote in hand. Spotlock was great, if you don’t mind a constant repositioning motor whirling around. In strong current or high wind it was a plus when fighting fish but otherwise, mehhhh. If going power a rheostatthrottle control would be a better option than a remote. The only true hands free propulsion is pedal power and instant reverse is a spotlock! All in all I wish I would have went with a pedal power (OT 106) for the overall expense savings and a better fit to the majority of my fishing. After selling the AP I went with a Sportspal canoe ($150 facecrook deal) which paddles easier than my kayak, faster, way more room with a larger carrying capacity and at 60# much lighter. I have recently added a 55# thrust trolling motor with LifePo4 battery for the longer runs and bigger waters which only adds 10 minutes to launching time but still not used all the time as it paddles very well. Anyhow, if wanting something bigger with power go big and get a trailer. If you like compact, fast and efficient go paddle, the less expensive route.

Yes, it was there yesterday. Good deals go quickly.

Nice selection at good prices at ALF fishing This KLX would fit the bill nicely

Great excuse for a new outfit. Things like that happen when out in nature. Reminds me of a time my brother-in -law and I went to Florida fishing. He bought a brand new cast net so we could catch our own bait and save a few bucks. I said I’d give it the first try and proceeded to toss the net, opening nicely fifteenth feet into the ocean, watching it sink forever out of sight! I had not tightened the wrist strap and the whole shebang went flying, lost forever. To this day we still laugh about it and he never lets me forget what a great cast net tosser I am. I did buy a new net but we never did catch any bait. Fishing experience can be funny at times, and painful at others.

I found the cheap ones a to be a PITA. No tip protection, guides pushing through the sleeve, sizing all over the place and don’t even get a hook caught in them! I replaced all my covers with These Excellent quality, tip protector, replaceable threaded reel cord, rubberized guide collar and perfect sizing. The best I have found and the price isn’t too bad considering the quality. PLUS THEY FLOAT!

Being raised around farms, cattle & corn country I’ve watched cattle all my life and they truly do react to barometric pressure and oncoming rain activity. Horse’s on the other hand typically respond to food! As @12poundbass statement is correct as weather usually doesn’t effect their behavior much, unless it’s tornadoes then they run for cover. Like most of us.

I rate it a 6/7 Pretty good song, but he’s got his country wrong! Fish do bite when the cows lay down, which is typically a sign of an approaching storm, and the bite is much better. Don’t know where he fishes……..

Love this combo!

Dollar Bill wins by 3 ounces!! Awesome job Hoosier!
