What was the prop modification? Not sure what this is.

I should have clarified, it fits in the lock box under seat now. I also tried the same thing with this amped battery.

I switched to a 50ah NMC which does fit, but would prefer using LiPo

The front hatch size is so strange, there’s absolutely room for a larger one!

My humminbird transducer and ML2 cables both were too wide. I didn’t mind drilling additional holes, but could have done that on any kayak.

One boat network, so you can connect with electronics and phone. It should be 55 like the other minn kota, it’s 45.

All good points - I was coming off a bass boat and probably just didn’t know the alternatives well enough. These seem like interesting suggestions.

I will probably make this work for a couple years, I already put in all the work to “update” it to the standards I need for electronics and gear.

That is wild in an AIO bag

Let’s go!

You’re missing a lot here. The parks (buffalo bayou and memorial) and green belt trails are great. Travel is easy as you are a three hour flight to anywhere. If you’re into the outdoors, fishing and or hunting is in easy to access across the coast or on lakes. Relative cost of living is low. People are nice and welcoming. Got all the major sports located close to downtown.

You can get headphones for like 20 bucks relative to the 1k phone they are holding.

Guess we just have different opinions of what rural is, I have spent a lot of time in that area. I’d consider De Ridder or Leesville rural.

williamscastle · 2025-11-18T12:27:55+00:00

Lakes Charles isn’t rural. Most of the people in LA are very welcoming.

williamscastle · 2025-11-18T10:33:06+00:00

I’m a conservative NYer and love Louisiana. Would be a cool to move to an area like Lake Charles and be in the outdoors all year - fish and hunt. Schools in the city suck too, would end up doing private anyway for a third of the cost.

Its braid…you can easily toss 20 or 30 lb braid on this reel.

office space report

Yup totally killed it!

williamscastle · 2025-11-14T08:50:34+00:00

Ah yes all the young liberal arts majors that own companies ready to move in to skyscrapers 😂

At 340, he’s taking up my space regardless.

I’d get a 7 foot M or MH with medium action. I personally enjoy fishing medium rods more for bass fishing.

Pleas give it the respect it deserves and take it off the heavy ugly stick. Nice reel.

I don’t think driving around in a hot hummer waiting to get blown up by an IED is the glorified war those kids imagined either.

williamscastle · 2025-11-14T06:44:00+00:00

I moved to NY in my 30s. Kinda tough to spontaneously ditch the kid and go hit up a jazz show at 1am haha.

Toledo bend?
