    This is THE BEST sub forum in the world. You may have noticed my lack of posts, this season, about this problem or that problem.... Mostly because of this sub forum, my project boat, Jesse Rae, has performed flawlessly this season, / knocks on wooden desk top/ , so far. The answers...

    5/4's Left for Miserable Giant Season

    Thank Goodness this season is almost over. Let the nightmare end. I was being optimistic, and hoping for a win today, but after 3/4's...What an embarrasment.

    Gonefishie's St. Barnyard Question

    All of these answers are only based on my opinion and experience. They do grow very big, but I think that they are aware of their size and at least try to be careful. I have constantly been amazed at how they can pick their way through my small living room, amongst my small children. I have...

It is a pontoon based kayak. The purchase was relatively cheap ( $100 ) for just the kayak, no accessories. I figured that...
