I kayak fish here too! You on Jaxkayakfishing.com?

Side note, camping in the smokies this weekend!! STOKED.

 

Haha I was suppose to camp out of my kayak the other day but got rained out. Maybe next week though! I only have a 10.5ft Dagger Blackwater. It helps me keep my gear to the bare minimum and I have to be creative with my limited storage space. I need to buy some drybags though. Garbage bags just don't cut it anymore lol

What about you?

 

Not yet. My wife just showed it to me the other day but i will probably sign up on there.

I am camping in N.GA mountains next weekend.

 

a 12' and a 10'

 

That sounds like so much fun! Just camp along the river the whole time? Two-person kayak? Most I've done is some whitewater rafting camping trips w/ a tour group, but me no likey tour groups.

 

I go with a 10 footer usually. there the perfect balance between stability and manuverability

 

I have an 11'1" (yes... 11.1... they had to add that extra inch in there) Perception Rhythm.

Nice! smokies should be nice right now!

I camp at random areas along the river.... and hope to God it doesn't flood at night. Tour groups are never fun. More often than not, theres at least 2-3 people that have never been camping in their life, much less been on the water in a boat. I steer WAY clear of those groups.

 

haha always stay away from those groups.....because there either terrified and wont stop complaining, or their fearless and will get everyone else hurt

 

I've been wanting to get a kayak trip together...Suwanee river would be fun.

I have a 13' Ocean Kayak Prowler that I fish out of. It's old but it works great and has plenty of stability for fishing.

 

It's a good site..we'll be in Blue Ridge the first week of August. I'd like to go when it's a bit cooler, but I won't complain!

 

exactly. Just makes for a miserable time for the ones like us that know wth we are doing. I hate camping with people that do nothing but bitch. I have told a few people I was with to either quit their bitching or go back to the car and stay there till we are done.

 

i took a girl hiking in texas one time and all she did was bitch and complain.....i guess all girls catn be as awesome as lisa but on a different note i got my trangia stove in the mail today!!!!!

 

Yeah, would be a strange feeling to wake up floating down the river. heheh It's surprisingly not much fun being with folks who have never camped. "WHAT"S THAT NOISE?!" "It's a grasshopper - go to sleep." "Where are the bathrooms?"

I'd like to think I'm in that last group, but with a little more brains, and THAT is why I don't like groups - moving at the pace of your slowest member.

And with that said, I want to join a rafting tour down the CO River through the Grand Canyon. ME=sometimes hypocritical

 

oh i hate it so much when people wig out over sounds in the woods....ya its prolly some kinda of animal but there more scared than you are so go to sleep....damn

 

Yeah that tarp is massive, me likey

 

x2 I hate being held up by the slow member. I am the "lets take the more dangerous route... but be safe at the same time" Lets you know your still alive!

I especially love taking newbies backpacking and they are constantly getting up and running around trying to do stuff to keep them occupied. The best part of camping is squatting your ass down in a chair next to the camp fire and just letting your mind wander off. Meanwhile, your partner is running around like a crack head. damn.... just sit and chill the F out!

 

YUP!!

 

Although, I sometimes whittle when sitting around. My big knife came with a smaller one that's perfect for it. Now, I just need to get good at it.
