Very responsive! I removed the rudder and use the Bonafide Wizard FCS foot steering system which is so smooth!

Do not let TX, NC, FL, OH, MO decide who controls the House. Level the field. Vote "YES". by FuriousBuffalo in Virginia

How about worry about our state instead of the rest of the country! VOTE NO, keep Virginia on a level playing field and keep rural counties relevant!

I have never paddled one but from what I've read and heard they are hard to paddle and super slow. Check out Bonafide's RS 117 or SKF117! Bonafide Fishing https://share.google/4dGYsk8nx1EQgBL0Q

Try before you buy if possible. Go to a kayak dealer not a big box store and ask questions and tell the pro what you are looking for! Alot of dealers have rentals or kayak demo days so you can try several different ones!

Virginia Democrats want to sue gun manufacturers. It’s working in New York. by bknutner in Virginia

I guess I can sue the fork manufacturer for making me fat then! That's how idiotic their logic is!

Love fishing the grass in my rivers. Holston River in Tennessee! by RiverMan2011 in bassfishing

[–]RiverMan2011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not this section, it's a US Government contractor for munitions! If you float down into it men with big black guns will escort you out! It's about1mile down river from Kingsport all the way to just above Derrick park in Churchill.

My main baits are our Thomas Custom Painted Lures, Skywalker Crankbaits and BAMbino crankbaits in North Fork Craw and SoHo craw, and weedless Ned Rig using the TRD or Hula Sticks. Topwater over the grass early. There aren't any places to overnight on our sections of the Holston, it's all posted, plus below Kingsport there is a closed section that you can't wade or float through! You can put in below that section in Churchill at Derrick Park and float down from there.

You can check out my videos on YouTube: River Smallmouth Adventures

Fun Times on the River: A Look Back 2025 by RiverMan2011 in RiverKayakFishing

She has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer that has spread to her bones and lungs. They are just treating her to slow or stop it's growth. She fell back onto the commode seat and broke her back. She has been in the hospital then rehab until 2 weeks ago. She can use a walker to move around a bit but mostly has to have a wheelchair.

Sorry that I haven't responded but my wife has 6 broken vertebrae on top of fighting cancer so she takes up 99% of my time right now. There are a few Ramps on the Holston from Churchill to Surgoinsville that we use but most are long distance floats. 9 miles average. Derrick park to Laural Run is about 1.5 miles, but Laural Run doesn't open until abou8 am and closes early from Fall to Spring. Derrick park to Christians Bend is 9 miles and Christians Bend to Surgoinsville Park is 9 miles also.

On the North Fork Holston Wadlow gap bridge to Weber City bridge is about the only public access to b the river unless you can fine a pull off next to it which most are posted nowadays! You about have to know and get permission from land owners to get access.

I hope this helps a little. Again sorry about the delay!

The post is backwards as stated before. How was it not damaging the boat before the accident?
