  1. Meet him only once at Sanibel. Very nice person. Thank you, HillTop for starting this thread and remembering BFD! Happy New Year!
  2. Thank you, dbjpb! Yes, it's old Prowler 13. I think I got it back in 2006. Red box is diy Li-Ion battery for my fish finder. 16.8 volts, about 35 AH. I used recycled cells. Small SLA 12 volts battery lasts about 2.5 hours with bigger screen FF. So, I had to replace it. Thanks!
  3. Thank you for all good information! Basically, I want to replace my old OC Prowler 13 with similar size SOT boat but may be lighter if possible. I’m cartopping my kayak. About 14-foot length and no wider than 30 inches. Planning to install fish finder, rudder, anchor and Torqeedo on new boat. C14 FS seems to be a good candidate. But I’m open to any suggestions. I will do installation by myself. Maybe I can do little fiberglass molding on the back to support Torqeedo and rudder if necessary. But C12 FS (they do not have C14 FS in the store near me) does not have obvious premolded spots for the rudder cables on the deck. Or may be I missed them. And you are correct, gellfex, about factory mounting for Torqeedo. I had to do two spot mounting for the Torqeedo tube. About 10 inches apart to mage it more rigid. Thanks!
  4. I’m thinking to replace my older kayak with Caribbean 14 FS. It does not have rudder installed. So, if you are familiar with C14, what rudder kit will you recommend? Planning to install my Torqeedo motor on it as well. Thanks!
  5. I’m planning a trip to Marathon Key West in the last week of May. I wonder if somebody can recommend fly fishing guide there. Interesting in tarpon. But will be happy to catch anything. Thanks in advance!
  6. Sorry for delay, Nine! I'm not sure the name of these fish. Palm size of some kind of tropical fish. Two or three different shapes, colors. Took shrimp looking small flies. Hope this will help! Thanks!
  7. Same here. Fished with Laurenz 5 years ago. Very nice and honest person. However, very limited places to fly fish in Aruba. I think we did two stops only that day. I fished beaches on my own and got few small fish. You can go to Baby beach, but it could be crowded. We snorkeled there and I saw a lot of fish. You will need a car to get to Baby beach.
  8. 59, almost 60. I have OK Prowler 13. Also, installed Torqeedo on it. Thanks!
  9. I'm few years into fly fishing and not considering myself as a good caster. But my first impression after watching these clips, you have to slow down. Looks to me too much power in the beginning of stroke. But it should accelerate smoothly thru the stroke and stop sharply at the end. Once again, I’m not an expert, it’s just my impression.
  10. I have an Orvis one. But I was not allowed to take it with me on “Spirit”. They said it’s too big. So, I’m using it as a storage at home or when I’m driving. Anyone take it on airplane? I guess you can check it in. But I do not want to take a risk to lose my expensive equipment. I wonder if somebody else has similar experience flying with it. Or it’s just me?
  11. Very nice flies! I'm in! Thanks! ZAT
