Grand isle 8-8-09
 

Thanks so much to yall that gave me the tips, you are truly classy and what this world needs.

I had a blast today at the isle, paddled way too much im gonna be sore, i was in the boat for 7 hours, im about to calculate the distance on google earth, but it was a lot, i caught plenty of trash fish and a few rat reds, and one big nice hog. she was 26 inches and weighed 7.6 pounds after being on ice for 4 hours.

she pulled me all around the little pond where i found her.

will be going back soon

thanks again for the help

oh and she tasted amazing, took all the tips yall put on here for reds and combined them. AMAZING

around 11.3 miles straight lines lol

oh and in that sand pit there is a gar that is at least, at least 6 foot long and 1.5 foot across the top of his back, he got way to close to me and i saw way too much of him.

im not gonna lie i wanted to scream like a girl when he splashed me

DUDE...Post that Recipe ////// Looks good

nice!

Glad you caught some fish man,I recently fished out of a kayak for the first time and its great.I bought my first one but had some leaks in the tank well area,not sure if I want to get something else instead....its a redfish 14'

I LOVE THE REDFISH, i used my friends redfish 10 and liked it wished it was longer, how does that one feel?

i got the cheap one from academy used from Greg Sonnier, he was in the press the other day.

It will work for now, but i want to upgrade to something with more stability and better dynamics.

In the next 2 weeks im gonna be installing my depth finder, academy has the water proof eagle for like 70 bucks

as soon as i get my GPS sold its on

i got the eagle i think...got it on sale for like 70...was like 100

yea its the cuda 300

they have the cuda 180 or whatever but its not waterproof

yeah the cuda 300....i never really use it though..even if i do use it, i use it for depth not for fish/structure

yea usually i dont need it, but i would like to have it for reference

yep...when you go to mount the depth finder get you some self tapping screws..dont use the ones in the depthfinder package...learned that :shaking:

I like it but I had to return it to pack and paddle cause of the leak.Thinking about getting the manta ray 12 instead tho....

Yak em,
Glad i could help ya out . Now how long ya think it would take you to fish that one area?
Look at it on google earth and you can see the pit and the ponds .
Lots of places to fish and like i said you can get to the surf thru the big pond at the end.
Years of ponds and canals back there.:smokin:

Go to pack and paddle.........they have a 14ft there w/ a trolling motor in the middle of it!!!!!! Supper cool!!! don't know how long you can go on a battery, but I'd think pretty far.............Paddeling is for dummys..............or so I've heard.......Tim

BTW.
There's a bunch of big gar fish in the pit. OOPS , i guess i'm a little latek

great trip. glad ta see that ya got on sum fish

nice yakin trip...i wanna fish soo bad...damn boats city usa is sorry..

Still didn't get your part hustler?

nah i got it..2 diff times...2 different wrong parts..them people at boats city are highly retarted...but hey wat can i say..at least they stopped me from prolly gettin struck by lightining today...tuesday im supposidly getting the right one..and then its on..

I tried to get my pilot to fly down and buzz ya, but you was to close to air bases, and that had to much lightning around you... Its FAA policy to stay at certian altitudes around air bases... Plus we was about 8000 feet where it was cool...
