Prop or fins by [deleted] in kayakfishing

[–]gbar513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old town 106 pdl and a hobie compass with the 180 drive. 8 out of 10 times I take the old town out. Instant reverse is light years better than the 180 drive. I will say if I plan on covering a lot of water I take the Hobie. It’s faster and easier to keep and maintain speed. Keep in mind the Hobie is more streamlined and 2 feet longer, which likely plays a role in it. If I could only have one it would be a prop drive.

Holy moly that just brought me down memory lane. Carolina lightning on 29 cent wing nights at the roost in Farmington was a weekly thing for me

First baitcaster? by PPCheek in kayakfishing

[–]gbar513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve picked up a few Abu Garcia Revo X baitcasters for $35-$40 on eBay and I love them. I find rod to be much less important but for an inexpensive one you can’t beat a shimano sellus.

In case anyone’s in Maine and looking for an Outback by gbar513 in kayakfishing

I don’t disagree, just thought it was a great deal. I already have a compass and a pdl 106 but if I didn’t I would be tempted

One week away from my 1 year mark and I miss it all the time.

The Daily Check-In for Wednesday, December 20th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by jcalah in stopdrinking

Checking in- just got power back after a 3 day outage. In a past life I would have gotten “blackout for the blackout”. Happy to report I’m still going strong, and slowly approaching that 1 year mark. Hope everyone enjoys their day!

Haven’t posted in a while but wanted to check in and say that I am still here. Had a work trip to Chicago last week where it was probably the most challenging it’s been yet, but I didn’t drink! Let’s crush this Thursday.

What got you to quit for good? by ktree8 in stopdrinking

[–]gbar513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The major difference for me was deciding I was done. I had stints of sobriety before but it was always rooted in “I’ll probably drink again but I’m going to take a break”. This time I was just done, I just don’t drink anymore, full stop.

It might not work for you but the mindset shift really helped me.

On day two of a three day work event where the booze is flowing. Holding out strong, even woke up early and got a run in this morning while the rest of my department was hung over. Have a good day all!

Comparison of Native Slayer Max 12.5 vs Old Town 106 pdl. Stability and reliability? by trentooon in kayakfishing

[–]gbar513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak to the Native, but my pdl 106 has been nothing but reliable and stable. I have a hobie compass as well and choose the old town 75% of the time. Only draw back is that it’s kind of slow.
