I have a Current Designs kestrel 120 (yellow), great recreational yak, and mostly I've paddled out by Everglades City, other side of Florida (about two hours) from my home in Miami. I love it there and I hope to get out into the 10,000 Islands before the mosquitoes get too bad (or maybe next year) but I also hope to do more paddling down in the upper Keys where the fishing is so good out on the flats (and a kayak is perfect for it).
I also have a Drifter. My good friend has a Manta Ray 14, nice boat. I most went out in lakes and shallow in the Chesapeake Bay. I want to get a little more adventrious this summer.
The Hudson River mostly from Rhinebeck on the South to Albany on the North. There are two kayaks strung up in the yard I will get them cleaned up in time for a shot or two at the striper run. One is an Ocean sit in and the other a sit on top. Cold water and warm water transport.
I use an Islander 12 on the French Broad River in Asheville, NC (very shallow with rocky bottom) and a Native 12 when I go to Florida (couple of times a year to Mosquito Lagoon, Lemon Bay, and Myakka River). Will be making my first trip to the Tomoka and Hallifax Rivers in Ormand Beach in a week.
Oh! South Mississippi, nice! I just moved from there last fall. I have a Tarpon 120 that I LOVE, and fish the Outer, and Southern Outer Banks of North Carolina. I am enjoying it very much :D
February 2012 starts with warmer than normal winter conditions here on Mosquito Lagoon, water temps have ranged from 61’ to 67’F the last few weeks, and the water level has been extremely low, our Redfish are still schooled up making for fun sight…See More
