Was looking to get the wife an OT 106 PDL. Then I saw the new Passports 10.5’ and think they may serve the purpose well. She isn’t fishing just wants to cruise around with me while I fish and take photos of the sights. Maybe an occasional trip on the bay or Out of Trinidad when it’s flat. What are y’all’s thoughts on the new offering?

With the constant price increases with everything when do you think they will stop, level out or return to some form of normal?
We just had to have a new well drilled, pricing went up 35% from last summer when we got estimates, $17k went to $25K. Kayaks seem to be no different. How much will folks pay for kayaks? When will they reach a price point above where the consumer will pay?

Have this reel. Trades only
What ya have for trade. Lol.

I picked up a free boat trailer several months ago. I am finally getting around to working on making it into a 4 kayak trailer. The tongue was bent up a bit so I figured it would be easier to cut the damage off and just shorten up the trailer. After finishing the tongue I cut off the old bunks and mounts. It got windy today so I wasn’t able to get much welding done so I installed new lights and wiring.
I will be using 3” pvc pipe for my new bunks. They will be 10’ long for my 13’ kayaks and 8’ for the 10’ sit ins my wife and daughter use. They will be fastened on the ends and allowed to sag and conform the the shape of the hulls.

So many choices on braid out there. What have you had good luck with?
I’m thinking of a coated braid like Power Pro slick 8 or spider wire stealth. What are you running with good longevity for saltwater use?

After fishing with my Penn Squall 20 for a few hours I decided it is too big for my kayak needs. So looking for a reel to pair with my Tiger 7’ rod for jigging  and live baiting rockfish.
What do you all recommend?
Would like to stay with a conventional style level wind and not a low pro. Thanks.

So I caught some shiner perch for bait last week. Had fun and caught a nice 26” long with them. But wanted to be sure of any regulations or limits on them? Regulations show a limit of 20. Is this correct? Just don’t want to run into issues while having fun on the water. Really don’t see having more than 20 for bait anyway but want to know the regulations anyhow. Thanks.
