General Talk / WHERE WOULD YOU GO FISH THIS WEEK? if you could FISH anywhere on the planet....

« on: December 20, 2020, 10:29:28 PM »

WHERE Would you GO? Help me decide where to go please -- I need some options

As the title suggest im looking for suggestions (realistic options)..... Typically I would be in my Hometown of NEW ORLEANS chasing ducks and tailing reds, BUT... As luck would have it, its not lining up. Due to COVID, several house remodels in the family, and some other reasons, I find myself free from responsibility this week and then some..... Wife and kids are at Grandmas in TN and I got a green-light to go anywhere in the world and go fish (or hunt). I got a TON of SKYMILES from my minstrel ways.... and even a house/dog sitter. Ive been fishing in alot of places and IM open to loading up the truck or heading to the airport. The easier the accommodation and yak setup the better. I can travel with gear...... need yak, beach, sunshine, fighting lines......GO!!!

1. Im CoVID IMMUNE - I already had it, it kicked my ass....

2.A lot of countries have test restrictions and its a short list. Costa is open but I have yak fished there before but would go if right situation

3.IM CONSIDERING Anywhere via Airport or loading up the truck/camp on West coast.....

4. Ive been fishing all over...costa indo mexico

Places I havent been.... LA JOLLA... KEY WEST...

What ya GOT????

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

I think welding it with plastic is best. You will need a plastic welder, which is basically just a big soldering iron, and scrap plastic or rods to work with. It requires skill so you will want to practice a bunch on scrap plastic and test the strength of your welds. A heat gun helps as well, since you really want both surfaces to be hot when they touch. You should embed stainless mesh in the plastic to prevent the crack from opening again.

Repairing leaks below the waterline is not easy. Hobie will not attempt it anymore according to what they told me.

Yea thx ive tried not easy ... def below water line

thx!! small cracks or holes not big just in weird spot
You probably need to observe whether the water is "gushing" in or just dripping. You can do an air pressure test after you repair it and see if the leak persists.

I wouldnt say its gushing.... more like a running drip. Hobie guy suggested i rape the well and fill it... then blow air in it

Hello everyone, so my trusted PA has a drive well crack ive been battling. its in the little pocket on the stern side of the drive well where the mirage drive rests. I bought this boat in 2010 so shes seen some years but I love her. I tried having here professionally repaired but im not sure the guy knew what he was doing and it failed after a month or two. I ve tried marine gooping it from the inside but its in a really weird spot. does anyone have any advice other than send her down the road to someone more skilled than me to love her and get a new one. Ive called hobie several times and seems like every time i get a different answer. From weld her on the outside and goop inside, to try Dupont 810? (anyone have experience with this 810)? looking for recommendations, or suggested repair shops, or possibly and good repair method. I live up in Tahoe so kind of far from everything. Any advice is greatly appreciated thx and tight lines - JUDE

Some bad info on this thread. Echo is worthless and frozen.Snow is no factor. Like Tote said grow a pair. Fish are totally in shallows less than 200ft. People catch monsters from shore all the time. Its mid march... totally doable dress to stay dry.
