We fished public numbers within two miles of the beach. Five yaks total. Launched at 8:30pm and landed 5am. Biggest snapper was 33". Here is my haul. Redfish is 26 3/4".

I have a VisiPole lit up, headlamp, flashlight, and SOLAS reflective tape down the side of the Mariner. I am a nocturnal fisherman so I am cautious.

That's sweet! I'd like to do that in my yak but it would be a 40 mile paddle for snapper...

FN sweet man! What was the fuel burn? 1 mpt (mile per twinkie)? Nicely done...sounded like a joke thread at first. HA! Pretty fish dawg.

Mine runs on Bud Light with Lime and Milky Way Candy bars. Good stuff.

That's awesome man! How far is the paddle? Did you troll anything in/out or is that useless at night?

No no no. Whiskey makes me do stupid crap. And if I want to do stupid things and not remember I got apple pie!
