REWARD! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Discovered they don't float ten minutes into the first time we used one several years ago. GoPro jumped through hoops to get the cameras to us down in mexico for a shoot. I stuck it on the kayak, caught an amber jack, and the fish nailed it with its tail. Sent it to the bottom. Ooops.

Good luck getting it back...Crazier things have happened.

Bet there is more than fish porn on that memory card

I could only imagine what kind of things are recorded on the memory card....

Those large fins, with meat, super secret intel... This morning hot fish action.

I wonder if there is other "tuna" action on that card?

I could see Neil walking into a bar with the gopro on his head and hitting on the ladies

Did you get a video of the lochness monster?

I learned after losing my first VHF radio that anything I don't want to lose NEEDS to have a leach attached. Sorry for your loss.

Well Drake, I gave it my best shot this morning. Did my inaugural launch and shake down cruise of the new PA14 this morning. Launched at Shelter Island to a low tide and after adjusting pedals, seat and HDS, went straight across the bay and out towards ground zero. My hopes were that even though it sank, it would have just a little positive buoyancy and maybe get pushed up into shallow water or even the beach by wake action of boats going by. After working in zig zags shallow to deep I came up empty. I then headed out to the tip of Zuniga jetty, back across to the point and back to Shelter Island - 4 hours in total.
