    Thank you for sharing about your doctor appointment at 7:00 a.m. and that you're still on the water at 1:00 a.m. A good example of the commitment it takes to be successful...at anything. Spencer I hope you are creating a great life for Ella and yourself.

    Definitely nerd to find yourself a couple light weight block and tackle that have the swing gates for ease of changing how many pulleys you need.
    Double pulleys be best, and most versatile for your needs.
    By light weight, I'm referring to weight of the mechanisms, and not the amount of actual weight they're rated for.
    Along with few short pieces of rope to anchor around whatever is handy, and one for connecting to the bow of your kayak to allow for any twist in the line on either end, and not between the blocks.
    Definitely make it thousand times easier to haul up and type of bank you have to go up or down.
    And you can even rig the anchor line so that once you've got everything down including yourself just pull on it the right way, and it releases it's from whatever it's attached to allowing you just to roll it up and secure it along with the rest in secure location place where it's not going to accidentally snag on some branch or such whenever you're maneuvering through obstacles that allow it.
    Nice ending for sure.
    When you going to take your winter fishing down to Texas, because I know that you're familiar with some of the bodies of water we have, and there's lot more you've only heard of from the time you spent here back in your adventurous days.
    Sure you'll find plenty of folks to guide, and tournaments shouldn't be a problem either if that's part of the requirements you're wanting.
    Where I'm located it's hour or so to five excellent lakes, many more within hour n half, and two hours several more on top of those.
    Call it 15 plus easily, and none of them anything to ignore as far as good selection of all three varieties.
    Baits usually never a problem if you know few farmers with nice live bait containers ready to be thinned out by good bit.

    Cool video dude. Neat little creek I don't think I've seen you fish it before but idk. Reminds me of the drainage ditches that criss cross SE Missouri. There's lots of nice fish in those, but it does require the putting up with the gar and drum and buffalo to get the kittys. Anyway, I enjoyed that one man and everytime I watch you kayak fishing smaller water I tell myself I have gotta get one of those things too! Lol✌️
