  • Back up the coast to the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Florida in search of Speckled Trout while Flipping several Mirrodines in different colors. Had a good day running around the Refuge and searching the deep creek holes. I also upgraded the Back Deck in Width(12") on my Skinny Water Tunnel Hull to allow me more standing room to till while navigating and to fish....Enjoy the ride around the Refuge....Sea Ya!!

    Great modification on the skinny water boat. I have always been impressed with that setup. Your a man that knows how to use the right tools. Your knowledge of saltwater fishing helps all of us.

      Hank Pretz Kayak Fishing....Thanks!! Hank I've managed to side step the pit for a long time and I don't like to say never when it comes to injuries because I've had my share both inshore and offshore....LOL!! The skinny has been a work in progress even after 20 years....When I step on board though all the stuff that I can possibly need are within reach....My way of thinking there's no such thing as too much Stuff....LOL!! Back at you Hank on the knowledge/compliment....You've proven time and again that your knowledge of the inland waterway in a heavily congested area is still able to produce some amazing results....Enjoy your weekend!!

Can't remember the last time the winter tides during the day have been so extremely low!! It use to be you could run the refuge sitting down but with all the Mangrove growth being as high as 12 ft. I have to stand on the back deck just to see where I'm running in the back country!! Have a great weekend!!

I really enjoy trying to navigate all the narrow creeks in the Refuge because there is so much change in some places it's easy to make the wrong turn especially as the Mangroves grow higher!! Specks are similar to the freshwater species with a very soft skin....They are excellent table fare....Glad you stopped by!!

I've been watching the weather in NC & VA....Brutal....just no way I could live in that weather again!! The fish have no where to go except deep when it's that cold....Good luck!!
