Who Cares. I like Intel of All Kinds
 

Anyone who has been a member of BWE for 4-10 years have seen kayaker's grow from paddle power to pedal power, then possibly a aluminum skiff or Solo Skiff and then a center console if within their budget.

I am one of those who got a CC and my post were always welcome as it was a source of intel for my fellow friends. I remember when the Blue-fin came within 1 mile of the San Clemente pier and I posted a picture and Iceman was out there the next day trying his luck.

If you don't like a post or feel it doesn't belong go to the next post. Live and let live. Be an example - life is to short...

Extremely well said! Most important word "BUDGET".

Lmao!

I'm just thinking this dude is just jelly, no need for the hate, he was super interested, then at a snap of a flick, he turned agro.

Warm short, if u got a issue with me posting, u can always PM and we can have personal talk, wink wink!!

I don’t got an issue but the first thing out of your texty little fingers was saying move on in short it was much ruder and Fish11 didn’t even mind he was playing it down until you thought you needed to intervene so of course I’m gonna talk ish trust me you don’t want no PM so anyways aloha puto.

As stated... lifes to short bro, like it or not, I'm sharing Intel, whether its fish reports, bug reports, craft reports, I contribute, something u haven't done in 2 years of being here, i can ur threads started and post, nothing but nothing..

Kick rocks dude, ur starting to annoy me!!

So why bring it back up I thought you were done ranting especially after I laughed at a guys joke about me you need some sensitivity training lmao

I’m in LG if you wanna act tough went from a conversation about skiffs to well if you wanna know.

.
 

Pm'd

Squashed
 

Moving on nothing to see here..


I did we recieve an official shipping ETA, 06-24 - 06/26!!

So stoked, almost 2 months of waiting, no kayak, hardly any fishing, trapped in doors:in a sense, yes I'm ready!!

Pics to come!!

:cheers1:

I realized I was hating on a couple of you guys not on purpose I blame the quarantine fever lol I do agree now it’s a cousin of the kayak (Solo) and to Nick my apologies for turning your progress into a stupid conversation. Good luck to who ever trolls the 9. I am curious if anyone won the flag I was talking about or was it a hoax. Get Er done Devil Dawgs

Make sure you test these out in a following swell before you head all the way out to the 9. In my short experience, I've found them very twitchy in following seas and had to slow way down so a trip out at full throttle might be a trip back at 1/3 throttle. I did have a 50 pound fish sitting on the deck in front of me so that may have affected performance as well.

TY
 

Yes I've heard this as well, i forget from who, but definitely was made aware. I will be happy to cruise at 1/3 throttle if i have a 50lb fish on the bow!!

:cheers1:

I don't see it as being different than on any vessel. All vessels handle a little sketchy on a following sea, unless they are powerful enough and have the right type of hull to ride at the same speed as the current swell. I been in high wind chop and current that made my Revo 13 ride worse than making it back in at LJ with over 30 gallons of sea water inside the hull on the only day I forgot the hand bilge pump. When I had fishing boats many years ago, I had some instances were if you don't slow down the following sea can almost come over or spin you around. It can feel like a pucker moment no matter what your in when Mother Nature has a little fit. It's like kayaks some can surf in and then there's the more popular brand which require jumping off or coming in backwards. Damn, Look at me an ex-hobie owner for a short time and I'm back to being one of those picking on them. :D

FKNA- the banter reminds me of the good old days. Good chit and I appreciate it.:p
Because of injuries IÂ’m totally out of the paddle game, no desire to peddle.
I got a 10hp Honda OB at the river w nothing to put it and seriously considering a solo to dick around on for shits and giggles. This would probably be fun as shit to run down the river to Havasu and cruise the chanel etc.
Can you cruise these things w a passenger or dog? Kick me in the nuts. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Let’s all come out of the woodwork, lol. Andy used to shut my posts down for a lot less! Nick-man if you’re plastic Solo posts belong, so should my poly Triumph! Miss you sum bitches! Jim
:the_finger::the_finger:

Where have you been, Jim. It is a little refreshing to have some of the back and forth as in the past. It helps to try and forget that things are still no were near normal. It's great getting out on the water. Have you been spending a lot of time out fishing from a boat now. Yeah, Andy must be busy with business opening back up. It's no were near, Yak Joe and Jorge, Ha ha ha.

Hey Mark, yeah, we had a good little run with so many crazy mofo’s, lol. The cycle of quality fish back then was unreal. Still hoping it’s a cycle and not worse. I’m doing the same thing, just have a few more options to fish other areas. Jim

Good to see you back here. Always loved your post, especially when you had multiple 40-50 lb WSB. I too miss the quality and quantity of trophy fish just a few years ago. Now it just seems so long ago.

Ok what did I miss?!?!? Had to take some time off the water for personal reasons.. Now I came back to kayaks peddling backwards, mini torpedo rockets and drama between ground men fighting over about everything/anything..

Can’t wait to start contributing again to the mess!

Don’t encourage him [emoji23]... You may wake up his groupies

Quit being lazy. :the_finger:.

Absolutely yours is the LARGE version of the Poly fleet! :D:D:the_finger:

YEP
 

John, can you save me a seat to the show? I'll bring the soft drinks

Where's YakJoe when you need him?

Sorry for the thread-Jack. Questions answered.:cool:
( watching , reading up & learning more)
Did I take someoneÂ’s seat?
stop throwing popcorn at me. I have feelings ya know.
Tasty drinks!! :cheers1:
And back to the regular programming... passing the dutchie to the left hand side

I wonder what Mitchell's thoughts would be if someone complaining that he is posting his canoe-a-yak-a-boat fishing reports on this kayaking forum.

Who's bringing the nachos?

They are almost here. It's been a very long over 2 months waiting. I, like some started looking at this thread when it first went up. I already had an interest in the Solo Skiff, after having fished LJ with a Solo out there moving from spot to spot and wished I could cover so much water in minutes that would take me all day. After re-posting my2016 Hobie Revo 13 on Craig's and it selling in two days, I now had the money to start the process. I called Brent at OEX San Diego and put in my deposit. I got in early on the wait list that has grown at what I think is a crazy for just one dealer. Now this thread has over 5300 views. AWESOME The inputs and banter on this thread has the feeling off the old days of fun and fish catch posts. What's different is this doesn't even have any fish porn posted on the thread.

[QUOTE=FISH11;308260]They are almost here. It's been a very long over 2 months waiting.

Your damn right! I cant wait, already have a few days ready to take off work and troll the coast and big bay for the initial 10hr break in, then its on like donkey kong!

Damn 5k views, never even paid attention to that, pretty cool though, but whats cooler is the 25+ and growing with deposits down already! Should be fun grouping up with a pack of Solos and charging the 9.

Only if Warmshort comes back.

Before Warmshort ~500 views. Less Solo more Warmshort please!!

Damn
 

Welp!! I got confirmation Solos are delayed till the 6th of July because of an issue stemming from Minneapolis, hmmm wonder what that could of been from??:mad:

Don’t get my diarrhea of the mouth riled up lol j/k

SH**!
 

DAMN! So many delays on the shipment. Now over 5500 view, maybe this thread should become a STICKY!

[QUOTE=FISH11;308327]DAMN! So many delays on the shipment.

Brent was able to work some magic, 5 solos to be delivered next week, all accounted for and I was lucky enough to have been numerous uno on the wait list!!

Yea buddy!! Should have some pics next week and hopefully some fish porn too!!

I feel the same way. All the new kayaks and such. And to think we used to use regular old non fishing kayaks with a milk crate and 5 gallon bucket. Lol

Damn, I think I am number 10 on the list...

I think your still good for 07/6 time frame, I had my deposit in since 04/16.

If anything 5 people who were going to have to wait till end of July might get theirs a few weeks earlier now.
