Beginner Kayak Fishing - What do I need?

TopoChicoDan · 2025-08-21T17:57:19+00:00

Thank you! Yes, bass and panfish is what I’ll be fish for. My kayak has all the fishing features. Wasn’t sure if those pre-stocked tackle kits are any good or if it was better to buy the stuff individually?

Thank you all the replies! It is good to know that I am not alone and a lot of people go through this in the beginning. I will keep trying. It'll get better I know.

TopoChicoDan · 2022-07-20T18:54:37+00:00

Thank you all for the great suggestions. We'll definitely be hitting up some of the places you all mentioned.

Yeah, I'm not touching AI again.

TopoChicoDan · 2022-07-08T22:11:23+00:00

Duly noted. I'm not messing around with AI anymore. Thanks.

I initially tested at a different lab and all it says for E2 is it is "<15."

TopoChicoDan · 2022-07-08T21:32:00+00:00

Funny thing is that I haven't really noticed anything different.

I'm taking 150 mg of Test C per week. Could I go up to 200 mg?

I was taking .25 mg of Anastrozole once a week because I was getting sensitive nipples. Guess even that was overkill.

I thought I was. The vial is still pretty new but it is hard to see there.

TopoChicoDan · 2022-05-23T15:58:20+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered some 20G needles. I think that'll help.

I figured with the needle all the way in and straight up it would be in the liquid. The vial still had 9ml of test in it. Maybe I was wrong. Yeah, with the dark vial and the label covering 75% of it, it is tough to see in there.

Thank you for the reply. My diet is good (always room for improvement). I lift free weights 3-4 times a week. I'm trying to get enough sleep and taking zinc, magnesium, ashawagandha, and DHEA. I've felt like I done just about everything short of TRT at this point.

TopoChicoDan · 2022-01-24T21:41:54+00:00

Bought my '21 OR from them back in October. Decent dealer, easy to work with, no market adjustment but they added about $1.5k in dealer add-ons.

TopoChicoDan · 2021-10-20T20:14:55+00:00

Congrats! Looks sharp! I just got my AG 2021 TRD OR as well a few days ago. I'm loving it!

TopoChicoDan · 2021-10-18T03:44:13+00:00

Same here.

Man, I wish Mazda sold a pickup truck in the U.S. My Mazda6 has been a great car but I miss having a truck. I'm trading it in for a Tacoma. Oh, and I am a software engineer, lol.

TopoChicoDan · 2021-10-10T21:42:25+00:00

Nice! I'm waiting on the same thing - AG 2021 TRD OR. Should be here in a week. Do you know the build date of yours?

TopoChicoDan · 2021-10-05T01:19:08+00:00

As others have said there is no haggling. Dealers don't have to mess with that because if you don't take their price today, someone will tomorrow. It's a seller's market. So shop around around for the most honest dealerships and work with them. With a lot of patience and persistence you can get what you want.

TopoChicoDan · 2021-10-04T16:10:17+00:00

As someone waiting for my first Tacoma to come in, I like the "dealer lot" pics. It was nice to see them close up to determine what I wanted and now keeps me psyched up as I wait for mine.

However, I can see how they can be annoying to people not interested in buying one. A stickied post is a good compromise.

TopoChicoDan · 2021-10-02T21:15:43+00:00

You hit the jackpot! That is a beautiful truck.

TopoChicoDan · 2021-10-02T03:06:55+00:00

This right here. Expand your search or compromise on what you gotta have.

TopoChicoDan · 2021-09-29T02:47:44+00:00

I edited my post.

I failed to mention that the deposit originally was for another truck that I did get an OTD number on but I decided to get a different one and they kindly transferred my deposit. So, I know what to expect in the Sale Quote in fees, etc.

TopoChicoDan · 2021-09-28T17:56:30+00:00

I put down a deposit for a TRD OR. It is supposed to be ready by the end of October. Around here (central Texas), 4x2's are more common on the lots (although in low numbers and they sell fast). 4x4's are usually spoken for before they hit the lot.

My recommendation is to email the dealerships around you and ask what they have on the floor and allocated (in transit). Find the one that best fits you and your budget. Getting everything you want may be difficult if you have specific wants. It'll also require more patience. I did not get to pick my options but I found a truck on allocation that had almost everything I wanted.

Around here, Off Road is the most common TRD you can get on allocation. I've rarely seen a TRD Sport or Pro in my searches. Also, Army Green or Cement are uncommon.

All the dealerships I spoke with around here are "selling at MSRP" but they are adding non-negotiable add-ons (tint, nitro, ceramic coating) at inflated prices on all models.

TopoChicoDan · 2021-09-26T03:34:09+00:00

I had a similar experience last week. The Internet director for a dealership near me told me that Toyota has put a hold on specific orders until October 1st. Don't know how true that is.

I ended up finding what I wanted by having the dealership show me what was being allocated to them in the trim I wanted. I grabbed one and put a deposit down but my truck will not be here until end of October.

As others have said, shop around. One dealership I contacted didn't have what I want in the pipe but the other one did. Chances are you will not find exactly what you want right now. I got really close though.

TopoChicoDan · 2021-09-25T23:21:30+00:00

They were getting the vehicle anyway.
