    That mouth of Brazos River is no joke that current can get incredible strong along with the logs.
    Glad you made it back safely Mark!

    This here is absolutely what put you in my top favorite Fisherman's video to watch! Man you're insainly dedicated on every single aspect of these videos.

    Really informative video. The yak community needs more vids like this to show it's no joke out there sometimes. There's a lot of no-fun days that test you and wear you out sometimes.

    Dude...that area is still pushing 30,000 ft3/sec vs it normal 1,000-ish (if I remember correctly).
    There were times in the Coast Guard where we'd run a 41' boat through there and it would REALLY get our attention.
    Can't believe you pulled that off in a kayak. 😮

    That's the exact spot I wanted you to go with me about 2 years ago. I went in about 200yrds and then got scared because I thought there might be gators. I didn't want to go alone!

  • @miked6252
    @miked6252 Před měsícem

    That extra long flood gate makes quite a difference. There are a couple you have to navigate to enter the intercostal here in New Orleans , the gate system is about a third as long and when the tide is a foot and a half and above it will churn up 2 to 4 foot swells inside the gate.

    That river can be brutal after a storm. Really nasty. I take my boat out of Freeport jetties and go west to east bank the logs and muddy water go out 4-5 miles into the gulf from river.

    I give you an A for effort. My PDL 132 is a little wobblie, but self rights if I get off balance. It is just how the hull is shaped, I think. Take care and blessings

  • @iscarran
    @iscarran Před měsícem

    I’ve been through there with both a seadoo spark and a 21’ center console. In both those experiences it was sketchy at best. The debris and current makes for some pucker moments.
