Originally posted by Yak Fish View PostThe Patapso still is the bay, just not main stem. It's still pretty big water out there. Wind can make it very tough as well, which is the biggest problem. It's also a main shipping area so you have to have your head on a swivel out there when you're in the channel, so make sure to be visible! Be careful wherever you go.

Alan,
Just saw your previous posts of concern. I appreciate that. I spent some time on the kayak over the summer and early fall, and feel comfortable. I will have a dry suit and have also practiced re-entry. Also fairly familiar with boating in general as we had family boat growing up. And also have some basic in-water training from the good ol' U.S. Navy. I'll do what I can to be safe.
Take care, and keep posting more pics!

I certainly considered that. Better suits are about $150 more expensive. I would prefer to mosy back in (with my trolling motor) to take a leak than have to position myself carefully enough to take a leak in frigid water temps. Less movement the better for me.

I did the nervous water bladder relief with waders and dry top, it wasn't fun...since I had to strip layers and pull my waders down.
I did the relief zipper, empty the bladder, felt much safer. I tend to fish a good distance from a landing most of the time, and it's always better to stay "on" the fishing grounds.Hobie fleet:

Cool, as long as you're comfortable out there.
Just head out to the channel from the launch and zig zag around the channel, go north and south looking for marks on your fish finder. When you find marks, go for it. But like I said, be careful because that channel is heavily used. I don't like being in the middle of it, but that's what it takes. Make sure to have a flag or something visible.
