I want it and need it

Post by mannyl69 »

Good day all!

Thank you for allowing me on the site with many great members i know as we all have in common, the passion of Kayaking and fishing. I'm Manuel Lopez, better known as Manny who migrated to the US from the tropical cost of Belize which i use to fish off the reef and along the mangrove island for barracuda and snappers.

This is a new for me and am loving it!


Through my Mrs. i got to meet James Choi, whom took me out on his Kayak yesterday of which the fish was not biting as much but just being out there was a blast. By the way i landed my first Halibut and got to take home and prep myself as it was a legal Catch. Thanks Ron too for sharing your catch with me as my Mrs and family will sure enjoy fresh caught today. Looking forward to sharing may more great outings ahead and hope I'm welcomed into the brotherhood of Kayak fishing.

I'm wondering where the luck came from, Ron felt sorry for me as i had nothing and offered his 1st catch, James accepted so as not to disappoint my Mrs. and on heading over...I got my hit and thankfully first legal. Lucky James for saying yes or Lucky Ron for drawing us nearer to him...hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm!!!

All in all i had a grand day and learnt lots from the chatter amongst friends, James and YouTube.

Here's a few snaps of my first run in with a Halibut and the outcome...Enjoy...i know we did :lol:
