 | re: Severe weather watch TX AR LA - DFW, Shreveport under the gun today - MattStin on 5/21/13 at 7:41 pm I think you are right. Worst should be over soon, then just rain throughout the night. I hope the thunder chills out my dog is going nuts.

 | re: Bass on top water - MattStin on 5/21/13 at 9:35 am Me too man. Salmon and I were out and first cast I had one jump out of the moss and I pulled the shite out of it. Happened a few more times too. I have a trailer hook on it but I usually only catch when the fish does the work.
I have been told to count to 3 while reeling in slack then setting h...

 | re: What's with the kayak craze? - MattStin on 5/20/13 at 7:40 am I like kayak fishing for ease of transport/storage, and theres no way in hell I can afford a boat right now.
Between work, wife in school and a kid on the way, I do not want to worry with motors, gas, registration, trailers, etc. I just like to throw my kayak in the back of the truck, back off...

 | re: PVC Cajun anchor for kayak? - MattStin on 5/18/13 at 4:35 pm Are you wanting a stake out pole? If so, I would think the PVC walls need to be pretty thick, and even then you risk it breaking.
Check out the ParkNPole stake out pole / push pole. Fiberglass, in lengths of 3/6/8. I have the 6 and it works great for shallow water.

 | re: Are you scared of having kids for fear they won't be healthy and normal? - MattStin on 5/17/13 at 12:22 pm My wife is due in October with our first child. Every once in a while, fear ensues me and I think about "what might be wrong or what could go wrong". I usually get nervous before each doc visit, hoping they dont look at the ultrasound and say "we have a problem".
Another thing that scares me ...
