re: The Official Kayak Thread

Ahh then didnt see that booth. Didnt even see Overcast’s table bc of crowd until the P&P owner gave them a shoutout for the lure pack during raffles.

I was the guy who won the Yakattack Blackpak and hawg trough.

ETA: This was my first time going. Next year if Beer & Gear and Sportsman Show are same weekend, I’m just taking a whole day off work instead of trying to leave at noon and make both events. Left Gonzales at 4:15 and didnt make it to P&P til 6:45

I never win crap. Lol. Would've loved to have won that Outback.

I got to PAC and saw how bad it was and said frick it and went to Island Rd and set the bow of my kayak in the water and fished on the bank. No action there so went back to PAC a little before noon and launched. Was still breezy but nothing like how bad it was 4-5 hours earlier when I first got there. Managed 1 red that was barely 16” but it had the most spots

No doubt. Having never seen one in the flesh I’d buy one on Field’s reputation over Pelican’s. That said, I checked out the Pelican at Academy out of curiosity and it’s not bad. Deck felt pretty strong and the layout is nice. I felt a little flex in back tank well in the center and on the bottom of the hull but nothing crazy. Not as bad as my Ascend 128t I used to have. A sturdier boat than that.

Looks like a good entry kayak for someone like me

Yea I was in the corner by the speakers next to Overcast.

The dude that won the Outback also won IFA a couple weeks ago.

I’ll actually be on the BCKFC podcast this week to talk about the LKFC Marsh Madness Tournament next weekend.

PA I think.

I’ll be there Saturday. I’m going to join the Lafayette club. Couple of us are going to try for AOY.

We won’t be able to do the fish fry this year but a few of us talked about getting pizza or there’s a restaurant up the road too. I think we’ll have pizza at the weigh in too.
