First outing

[old_rookie]

Ok - so I finally had some time to go into the bigwater Sunday morning. Easier than I thought - rolled it once, but no big deal - I was in only 1 foot of water - didn't even realize it was that shallow. Good thing no rays were there to step on. Was a pain carrying everything to/from the car. Didn't want to risk driving on the sand so I used the 15min loading spot. Next is to build a cart and bring everything in one shot.

Make sure you use tires wide enough that don't dig into the sand. I heard the harbor freight specials are the ticket.

I can't wait to get my first launch under my belt.

From your pic, looks like you've been out already.

My arm is healed and ready to go. The pic that you see is from the day that I hurt my arm. I went out Kayaking and then while I was loading the Yak into my truck that's when I snapped my tendon. It's been 4 months since I have done any real fishing. I'm healed and cleared to do so and I'm going nuts not being able to get out with work and all. No worries I'll be out there soon. We'll have to buddy up someday.

I like my Wheeleze alot for deep sand.. since I'm over 50 I take every advantage I can. They haul alot of weight.

Need to get a few things first.... net/gaff, something for live bait..., build my yak cart, something to take home my catch, time....

this coming weekend is out, not sure about the next since work is sometimes a priority - want to also get my son out on a 1/2 day before his time is taken by xcountry at school. But I'll let you know when - besides, are you sure you want me tagging along? I'll probably slow you down being a rookie on the big water.

Oh another great place for those wheels I found were at the swap meet.

this will be my first fishing LJ trip, im like you, im gearing up but by next weekend i should be set. hopefully my FF will be in and i can get it setup, like it will help LOL. if not i can bring my hand held gps that has blue charts on it. at least it will give me an idea of water depth.

as far as slowing me down???? ahhh dont think so LOL

Yes, I wouldn't want to go out that far alone. Oh yeah, need to get a floating radio as well AND figure out how to use it. Sounds good, I'll let you know the week I plan to go. Probably will use frozen squid or shrimp first time out.
