picnic point sunday 06/07

This is last minute but I'm thinking that I'm going to hit picnic point for some more flounder action.  If anyone is looking to do some fishing and wants a tag-along or wants to tag-along let me know.

I'd be interested - I'll have to round up a Kayak though... let me know when you're going and perhaps I can get it going.

Regards, Gary

How did you do?  I would have took you up on your offer but I had made other weekend plans before I saw your post?  I'm not familiar with Picnic Point.  Is there a good place to launch there?  Also, what kinda set up do you use there for flounder? 

Thanks.

I was out there with Yak strong...Man, He was tearing em' up (flounder)  I was catching a few here and there but not quite as consistently.  We ended up switching gears at around 3:00 when a 20' cut jumped about 5' from the back of my yak   After a quick change to a silver castermaster Yak strong was all over them.  I got one  16"er  on a 1/8 oz blue and silver thomas buoyant trolling over the point in 9' of water.  Thanks for the help Yak,
Oh yeah...The launch is a bit rocky (fist size).  A few logs around make it real hard without good wheels.

Good day on the water with good company.  Met up with cobrakak and well he pretty much covered it, pretty good day.  Nice cutty cobra.... well done!

Great job guys!  Wish I could have joined you two.  Looks like I'll have to invest in a cart too.  Seems like I keep spending more and more on this sport.  LOL

Ronbo, I've seen a number of PVC carts break.  Do you reinforce your version in any way?

I actually test ran my PVC cart on this adventure.  It made it over the logs and some pretty good size rocks as well.  I chose to reinforce mine with wooden dowls placed tightly inside the PVC frame to stiffen things up a bit.  Seemed to work out fairly well, no telling though how long it will last.

My first PVC cart broke while going over a log. The second version was made using thicker Schedule-40 PVC pipe, and I inserted a smaller pipe in the lower cross-section for reinforcement. This one has held up well.

I was thinking that this would work  (only for loading and unloading kayak off of rack)   I have a nice little grind spon on the rudder gate and want to prevent it in the future.  I got a pair of kids bike training wheels and I'm thinking about mounting them for quick release on the rudder...any suggestions?

I built a wood (plywood and 1x1s) skid plate for stern skeg and rudder for loading and unloading.  Held in place by bungees - drill holes in plywood for bungee hooks.

Floor mat from the truck works too.

yeah old floor matt strip..thats perfect. Thanks!
