Oh and I forgot to mention the other symptom of ciguatera poisoning - extreme enlargement of the cranium which the victim is unaware of.

Re: This forum is dying
Hey Helmut...Is that a Hoby Mirage your fishing from? That would be great on the flats. I want to get an "Outback" for where I live but the water is a lot colder than Florida. Those pedals are great I imagine for casting and playing the fish on the move. What's with the paddle though? Does the kayak have pedal and fin propulsion... or not?

Me and my wife flung ourselves into this, to we had to budget. We bought rods, reels, lures, kayaks, and roof rack in a three month period. We found a kayak by Wilderness Systems called the Ripper. It's an 8-foot boat with a 6-inch hatch. The 8-foot size is nice for storage. I rigged it for fishing with plastic bucket with two pvc pipes zipped-tied inside for rod holders. The kayak was $320, so very cheap. It isn't very dry, but that doesn't matter when the water is warm. The water temps down here don't go below 70, and from late March to November, the water is in the 80s. In the summer it gets to 90 on the bay side. The kayak I want next -- and I'm selling some carbon sew-ups to finance the endeavor if anyone is interested -- is the Malibu Mini-X. But we're having a load of fun. Tonight we're kayaking around the bay fishing for snook near the lighted docs. Tomorrow we're lobstering off Hollywood Beach and Sunday, if we have the energy, we're heading back to the bay for trout. We live three blocks from the beach and one from a tributary to the ICW, so we can fish easily everyday. Our new thing is, when we get home from work, throwing a couple beers in an cooler, grabbing the surf poles and throwing a line in the ocean down by the beach. With the water changing temps the Spanish and the occasional King mackerel are migrating south close to shore along with the occasional cobia. We caught a nice Spanish our first night out.

 . And you're lucky to have a wife who shares your fishing interest.Kayaks - you might want to look at Hobie's. They are a little expensive but fishermen love them because your hands are free. Also you would be the fastest kayak in Florida with your cycling legs. However, a paddle kayak might suit the shallower waters you are in. Keep us posted on any big catches or stories. It almost feels like I'm/we're with you down there. Well.......Almost  PS. Best fishing book ever read : "Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing". It's not what it appears, the author Scott Bannerot is/was a professional fisherman and marine biolgist as well as world cruiser. If you read that book, you'll be planning to sail around the world with your wife, fishing from the back of your sailboat and dinghy almost 24/7. Believe it or not kayakfishingstuff.com is on my "favourites" list but I haven't gone to it in almost a year. Last edited by Crankyfeet : 22-09.-2007 at 05:09 AM. |

Just saw "Away From Her," and thought it was pretty good.

First, read "Into the wild" if you have not, then go see the movie in a week or so.

Re: This forum is dying
Thanks for the suggestions. Looked at both "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" and "Away from Her" on www.rottentomatoes.com and they both get great reviews. Have to get the DVDs. I liked the Wild Hogs preview but the film was panned by the critics here in the States. Might rent it though, as these films are usually lighthearted fun, but the critics are not usually into that.

There's an Into the Wild movie? Sweet. It's been awhile since I read that. Krakauer's Eiger Dreams is another good read. I am not really a big fan of Hollywood movies. The last interesting film I watched was the documentry The Bridge, which was incredibly depressing. There is nothing like seeing people jump off the Golden Gate Bridge to brighten your day. I have been watching a lot of movies on Turner Classic Movies these days. I marvel at the quality of the scripts compared to the typical Hollywood junk that is put out today.

Re: This forum is dying
Thanks. That looks like well worth seeing.
I recently saw "3:10 to Yuma", which was a well-made and well acted western rehash, though the ending is a little incredulous. Quote:
