  1. Still testing this thing out. So far, so good, but chasing a lot of little problems. Native Manta Ray 12
  2. I'm picking up a demo next week to do some big water testing. I'll wait until the first trip to spill the beans. Whatcha getting?
  3. Black tips are everywhere right now. I dont know the shark laws down there. 1500 yards from a swimming beach up where I am.
  4. I've owned, used and fished from countless kayaks. The hobie lynx is the only one I kept for more than 6 months. I used to have a ton of videos up fishing from it, but I've taken them down. There's other posts on here from me with the pros and cons. Mine has been up and down the east coast. Caught 1000s of fish. Pulled Goliath groupers out from under pilings. Sleigh rides from trophy sized jacks. Seemingly endless battles with bull sharks. Inshore, offshore, freshwater, bridges, currents and waves. In my opinion, there is nothing on the market that even comes close to the lynx as an all around fishing platform. There are kayaks that beat it for specific waters, but not overall. It's also unsinkable. You could literally break it in half and it would still float.
  5. Tacos! And yeah, it's going to be way too cold next week.
  6. Sure. In Virginia, commercial boats are allowed 100 pounds of speckled trout as "incidental catch"...... PER DAY This is oops, accidental dead trout. PER DAY This is the legal limit. Not factoring in how many times commercial boats go over the limit. This is all on top of the 51,000 pounds that commercial fisherman as a group are allowed to keep in Virginia. Again, excluding the amount that are illegally taken/not reported. Trout numbers are in the trash in Virginia, but things like this are allowed to continue. I fished Virginia waters for 4 years, almost daily and didn't catch 100lbs of trout. I'd be surprised if I caught 25lbs worth in those 4 years, and out of that I kept 3 of the fish.
  7. Whatever you have will work for jigs. I dedicated slow pitch rod will get a better action out of a jig when used properly, but the term slow pitch is exploding on the internet. 95% of the people who say they are slow pitch jigging don't even know what slow pitch jigging is. Use that $250, get some decent jigs, tie them on and go fishing. You will catch fish. You'll also lose jigs. If you fish near the bottom, you'll lose a lot of them.
  8. Commercial bycatch and illegal activities kill FAR more fish than recreational fisherman do in a lifetime.
  9. The entire East Coast has a limit of 3 bluefish except Georgia, which is 15. Maryland and Florida have a minimum size limit of 8 and 12" respectively. Also, a 10" bluefish is delicious. Pretty much our favorite eating size when we were able to keep them.
  10. Sail fish capital of the world and my back yard. I don't fish for sail fish, or off shore, but the fishing is excellent here.
  11. People also underestimate the size of a fish that a snook will eat. This little guy ate a grunt that was 10" long.
  12. From an old Facebook post
  13. I rarely catch snook on shrimp. Snook do eat shrimp, but so does everything else and snook are usually after a better meal. Live line or bottom fish a big pin fish/croaker/grunt/other legal bait fish.
