Forget the sweetwater get over to Dux Bay. Wish I had a yak yesterday afternoon as they were just out of hook up range on every cast. I still got some but it was a little more work. You would have had a bonanza out there on your yaks this weekend.

The new yak was like night and day compared to the other...the new steering makes a HUGE difference! It performed better than I could have hoped and the bonus was I took 1 nice largemouth on it to christen the new yak! 2.5 to 3 pounds!! I will have to hit Dux maybe this week......there is word of a possible WEE WEE trip this coming weekend!!!

I would be up for a dux bay trip in the next couple of weeks if the striped ones are around... can't get motivated enough for sweetwater!

They are around and it's a good time for you yak guys seeing no other boats are in yet to speak of. Last night at sunset was a blitz that was just out of my reach in waders but I still managed to hook up here and there. I'll be out there again tonight.

The weight limit on my Pro Angler is 600 pounds and I weigh 310! So.....hopefully I am good! LOL!! I carry about 30 pounds of gear I would guess??
