Might yak across light house inlet to Morris tomorrow and surf fish if anyone wants to join me. Sorry about the short notice, but seriously just thought about the idea five minutes ago…

Where do you launch from?
Last public beach access at N. Folly, then paddle out and around the sand bars and come back into Morris at Light House Inlet. That or just drag my Yak through the old Coast Guard Station and put in and paddle straight across the inlet. I over slept this morning, so Im just gonna surf fish today, no Yakkin. Maybe next weekend though…

I was afraid you’d mention that second option. Got wheels you take with you over to Morris?
Haha, yeah I know what you mean, its a long haul… I dont have wheels yet, Ive been savin up to get a bike/trailor rig so I dont have to drag it. Prolly gonna invest in one in the next month or so, until then Ill be draggin it like a caveman:stuck_out_tongue:

Love to join you for all or any of the above. Let me know…
If your looking for a good bike trailer I currently use this one. A bit pricey but sometimes I cover more than 12 miles a day with it.

Are you doing the bike/yak to work like you mentioned a while back?
So much water, So little time
TB, yep. I try at least once a week. It is usually a Mon or Fri for obvious reasons. It is getting interesting with the daylight fading though. I’ve got to get some lights rigged on the yak somehow…dnr regs for being out in the dark.

You need a white light visible from 360 degrees The coolest cheap rig I’ve seen was a minimag shoved into a piece of PVC pipe with a replacement dome lens from Walmart glued on. The guy said it cost him about 6 bucks… mostly the replacement lens.
I’d put some reflective tape on the yak for an added measure of safety.

Thanks TB! Exactly the idea I was looking for.

Great light idea but what is a replacement dome lens?
It’s a replacement lens for the stern light on a boat. Usually sold in the boating spare parts section at Wally World.
If you’re UBER-CHEAP ( like me) you can use a translucent white 35mm film cannister. That’s a pro tip from the “WEBETIGHT” club.
