re: What kind of yak do you fish from?
Posted by bayoubound on 7/20/15 at 8:49 am to maisweh
Hate to say it but as popular as kayak fishing is becoming, it won't be long.
I also had my first run in with an air boat "marsh hopping" the other day. We stood up and waved our arms until they saw us as they were coming through the grass. That could be real dangerous as well, and was really unnecessary as it appeared they were just joy riding. Seemed a bit irresponsible.

I rarely hit the water before safe light, usually only for tournaments. But when I do, always have a light.

Wife and I recently bought a king Serta IComfort, best decision we ever made and worth every penny. Will never go back to a cheap mattress again.

I got fired from a restaurant once while in college. A week later they called me and told me they made a mistake and offered me my job back. I took it back. Does that count?

Digging this back up as I had the chance this passed Saturday to fish a full day in my wife's hobie outback and get some seat time.
I will confirm that it is not as stable as the native slayer propel. I was able to stand and fish in it (6'3, 235lbs) , but the area where you stand is much narrower than the slayer propel. Your feet are positioned closer together which seems to make it harder to balance where as the slayer you can put your feet about shoulder width apart.

I've been to Belize twice and stayed in San Pedro (Ambergris Caye) both times and loved it. If you are into diving/snorkeling, I'd highly recommend taking a trip that brings you to the blue hole and half moon caye. Half moon caye is a place I will never forget.

For what it's worth, I did have a small issue with the propel drive on my Native. I spoke to the dealer I purchased it from and had a brand new propel drive shipped from Native within about 5 days. Native is well known for their good customer service.

I fished Crooked Creek reservoir last weekend, caught 5 bass but biggest one was 17", not much size to them. Water was a little high, caught them all on zoom super fluke texas rigged weightless.

I believe the rust issues have been solved. They had problems with rust on the 301 series of propel drives but all the newer models are coming with 401 series drives which have new upper gear assemblies that are fully sealed.

I own a 2015 Hobie Outback and a 2014 Native Propel 13. Both are great boats and have their pros and cons, I honestly think it is hard to say that one is overall better than the other.
I purchased the Outback for my wife because she found the drive is lighter weight and easier for her to take in and out herself. The outback turns much better than the Native, even after adding an aftermarket extended rudder to the Native. But, the Native has reverse so the sharp turns aren't as necessary.
Many of the diehard Hobie guys will tell you "I can't think of a time I needed reverse" but that's probably because they have never had it. I use it all the time and I know my wife will tell you she wishes the mirage drive had it.
The Native layout is more of a blank canvas with many gear tracks to set it up how you want. The Hobie has more enclosed storage and has a lot of the small accessories built in for you like paddle holders, rod holders, etc. The hobie is also is GPS ready with thru hull fittings for wires and a transducer mount in one of the scupper holes.
Native has better area for standing and site casting, is still possible in the Outback but not as comfortable.
Propel drive needs 12-18" of water, any shallower and you are pulling it up through the hull. The mirage drive can run in much shallower water by fluttering the fins, or you can pull the fins up flush with the bottom of the hull but do not have to remove the drive.
Mirage drive is better around submerged grass and lilly pads...sometimes they will slow it down but usually if you keep pedaling the fins will clear themselves. The propel drive is completely useless is grass and lillys, and you have to pull the drive up through the hull and clean the propeller with your hands. The native paddles very well when fishing in those conditions though.
Just depends on your preference.

Agreed on Harry Potter rides, Transformers ride in Universal was also one of my favorites. It took us a whole day to do Universal without express pass, I'd say two days to do both parks. Enjoyed them more than Disney World, they actually have places you can sit down and take a break besides just concrete.

We just did this a month ago, stayed at a house in Miramar. One of the days we rented a party barge and went to crab island and had a blast. Nightlife I also recommend Baytowne wharf in sandestin...the village door was a cool place and easily about 5 bachelorette parties in there when we went, if you group is into that kind of thing.

Posted by bayoubound on 6/16/15 at 1:39 pm
My grandfather has a flat panel TV in his bedroom which he is having trouble hearing. He has requested for father's day that we get him a speaker for his end table close to him that will help him hear his TV better. He has basic cable only, no cable box. Any recommendations for the best, affordable way to achieve this without purchasing a receiver or any other fancy equipment. He needs something plain and simple, easy to operate.

re: Camper Sell: Owe More Than Its Worth
Posted by bayoubound on 6/15/15 at 1:11 pm to diat150
It's not that I don't enjoy camping and using the camper, but it's really only worth the trouble/effort to me if I have a minimum of a 3 day weekend.
By the time I get off work on Friday, drive home, hook up to camper, finish loading up, travel to campground, get checked in, park camper and set it all up, then its 9-10PM and time to goto bed. Wake up and enjoy your Saturday. Wake up Sunday morning and repeat the steps in reverse from Friday afternoon. Way too much work and effort for one Saturday of enjoyment. I'll save the $500+ a month to book a nice cabin for a weekend if I want to go camping.
It'd be perfect for someone who works 4-10s or retired, or someone renting a camper spot long term and leaving it setup, or guys who travel for work and live out of them.
Unfortunately, work does not allow me enough 3 day weekends to enjoy it as I would like to.

And honestly, I believe I could pay it off in a shorter amount of time than that. That would be worst cast scenario. This is the route I was leaning towards, mainly because I have someone interested in purchasing and I know used campers can be tough to sell...would hate to miss an opportunity.

We frequent the one in Gonzales only because it's close to home. Not the best Mexican food, but not the worst. The service is always hit or miss. It's just mediocre.

Not covered storage anyways, the downfall to taking it out of storage and parking it outside would be exposed to elements and sun beating down on it fading it out just to make resell even worse. A camper is definitely something I don't think I would own again unless I was living in it long term for work travel. As much money as they cost a year, you could take some damn nice vacations with a lot less work!
