Bienemy has a fairly checkered past which nobody ever brings up when they complain about him not being hired. I believe the nfl has an issue not hiring coaches of color but given his past history I don’t blame owners for not hiring him. He also haz a reputation for being hard to work with.

I agree with this statement

Hey guys. I’ve got an issue and figured I’d go where I’ll get an honest assessment and not get a sugar coated response from a travel agent . We’re thinking of taking a trip down to Florida at the beginnings of April during my daughters spring break. I grew up going to Boca grande every winter to visit my grandfather, so that region is my comfort zone. However after speaking with friends who live in the SW west region, they advised visiting a different part of Florida this year due to the lingering effects of the hurricane and the current rebuilding of the area. Beaches are still closed, swimming could be an issue, etc. Does anyone have any areas or resorts they really enjoy? This would be a family trip with maybe a little bit of fishing. We are looking for something low key, don’t really enjoy crowded, built up areas for vacations. I’ve got two young kids and my wife. We’re pretty open to any area on the water as long as it’s family friendly. We’ve Debated east coast, the keys, further up the west coast… any suggestions or positive experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Former CT resident. Lived there the first 33 years of my life. Plenty of great things to offer depending on what you like. Proximity to NYC, good saltwater fishing (underrated compared to other surrounding areas), holdover fishing, good schools (if you have kids). negative’s definitely include traffic and limited shore access for surfcasters. Boaters and kayakers don’t have that issue, surfcasters have it rough. high taxes never bothered me as NE salaries tend to be higher than if you lived elsewhere. I currently live down south and enjoy the lower taxes but it definitely comes at a cost. Schools are not as good, definitely less public services, etc. a lot of places down south are beautiful but a lot aren’t. there are some beautiful towns to settle down in, With lots of great things to offer.

I would just take it slow. Go out under ideal conditions to start. The number one hazard to me is boats. Always assume they dont see you. Because they often don’t until they are very close. Make sure you have. A flag, horn, whistle , lights for night fishing and an exit plan for wherever you are fishing

So is this strictly a jigging or bait rod? Is it a good plugging rod? If so, how big of a plug would you feel comfortable throwing? always on the lookout for for good plugging rod with a small butt section for the yak.

Thanks man. I’m hoping I can get this thing resolved. Good to hear not a single one ofyou has concerns about the actual motion of the pedals. More the lifting and sitting aspect of fishing out of a kayak seems to be the main concern.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve been to a neurosurgeon and unfortunately need to find a new one as he relocated. But I agree on chiropractors .

Thanks man appreciate it. I may try the towel.

Thanks man I’ll do some experimenting. I tend to sit lower.

Thanks man I’ll experiment. I tend to have mine set lower.

ThNks for sharing your stories and thoughts. Such a frustrating process. About a year and half for me. I have gone to several doctors and nobody can seem to point to the issue with 100% certainty. Which is the worst part. I’m due back at the doctors this summer to see what happens next. I’ll research the meds and procedures to gather more info. yeah I think close to full extension for the pedal drive is prob safest. The reason this creeped into my mind is that shortly before things started to hurt I was Messing around on a slow morning with my drive to test how efficiently I could peddle and had the drive set very tight, resulting in shorter peddles. So Looking back I wonder if I put a lot of extra torque on my low back. Realistically it’s most likely a result of football, genetics, a long commute, posture and a lot of other factors. Two small kids doesn’t help either. This wasn’t caused by a fall or injury. Just happened one day in the middle of a long car ride. good point about lifting the kayak. I worry about that a lot. I’ll have to be careful. Oh well… a good argument for a boat in The future . Thanks guys!

Double post... sorry. Please delete.

So this one is a little different but I wanted to get some people’s thoughts. I have been dealing with low back pain For over a year and change now. I have a Bulging disk ; L5S1 and some disk deterioration. I’ve Done PT, massage, injections, all the stuff they recommend. No luck. Still trying to figure it out. Very frustrated as I have a dull pain in my low back, hips and glutes 24/7. I’m 36, and in good shape which makes this even more frustrating. i fish out of 2016 hobie outback... any thoughts on whether or not the motion of the pedal drive is good or bad for your back? My thought is it’s fine as long as your posture is good but who knows. I’m questioning everything now. Any tips or thoughts on posture, the amount of leg extension to have when pedaling, etc? also if you had a similar problem and figured it out please share!!!
