Seen this on a trailer, my sentiments exactly.

Now this is a nice trailer set up, and the gentlemen that rigged this keeps his kayak on it so it's ready to go at any moment. And he can also back up into the ramp for easy off load and on load.

Ok, remember I was talking about Oyster rash on the bottom of your kayaks? Especially where I paddle. And that's mostly around all shore or island area's here. Example:

Found an interesting site that has lots of info on kayaking. Just wanted to share. http://www.sit-on-topkayaking.com/Articles/ More generalized kayak information that you may want to know.

I was wasting a bit of time at work and got to think about all the times where I've fished with someone that has turtled, flipped, took a dip, gone overboard.

Not counting the surf flipping the only time I have gone over was in the Houston Ship Channel HSC. It was memorial day and the waves were just wrong, I should not have been there. I got the boat caught in the trough of the waves and over I went. after the initial shock of being in water I'm fishing for sharks in I used the following technique. Belly, Butt, feet. First kick up the belly onto the seat of the yak. This can be hampered by radios, pliers, cameras or whatever you have strapped to your PDF. Then once your belly is on your seat roll over onto your back. Then slide your feet over the front of the boat.

The best video I have seen of this is the following:

Dangers of flipping are: being by yourself (horse is dead), panic, tiring yourself out with poor technique, gear in your way.
Relax, practice before hand, and be safe guys.

This Summer looks like a great Fishing Season!

These are my kayaks. I've had them well over 10 years. I bought them back when i had my place down in Key largo, FL. I use to take them in the back country waters and fish for snapper and snook. Once I caught a big ass snooker and he actually pulled in that kayak.

But I also like these now that up north, however water does come into the kayak, which helps keep its balance and why ocean kayaks are hard to tip. But if you want to kayak in spring and fall you need a wet suit.
