What is your favorite cigar to smoke while on the water?

Shark fishing from a kayak = Balls O' Steel :0

Personally, I like something that I won't cry over if it gets dropped or soaked, and something that doesn't take a lot of attention. I was out Cobia fishing yesterday, and burned through a RyJ 1875 Belicoso, an RP '92, and a Montecristo #4 NC. Oddly enough, all I caught were sharks!
 
Good deal, looks like the perfect day. I like a Padron 2000 on the water, good smoke at a good price!!
 
Sweet pics. I smoke something better than a yard gar, but not top shelf. I've had a few of those yaks. Still have a Tarpon 160. Had a Cobra, but that thing was like paddling a tank. Had a Malibu Extreme for a while too, but let it go. Kinda wish I had sold the 160 instead, but it is quick and tracks great too. Just not as stable as the others. The 160 has adjustable pegs too. I hate those molded foot braces.

Not sure on the weight yet, maybe 120lbs at most.

The T160 is the Ferrari of the kayaks. Speed is the name of the game. It is an excellent kayak when you go for distance. Malibu eXtreme has a flat hull and other issues which makes it good for lakes, but not sea worthy.
One person with us had the FnD....what a tank! There is no such thing as a perfect kayak for everything, each has its pros and cons.
 
baby killer.

just kidding. wanted to throw in the typical bloodydecks t shark post.

way to go on that thing. kayak fishing is hard enough, throw a green thresher into the mix and lookout! where were you guys fishing because that sure doesn't look like la jolla!
 
I'm surprised nobody has cracked out a 'Dad Joke' and referenced Deep Purple in some way.

Act your age gents, puns are all the flavour at your time of life :D.

I really liked the huge front hatch on the Extreme. I have to launch through the surf and it was big enough to stow my rods. I would stradle the yak, slip up front and pull them out. And I weigh around 240. I really didn't like the hull slap in calm inlet waters though. I had a Cape Horn 160 before the Tarpon and the Tarpon hull seems to be pretty close. At 240 and a reaaally disabled knee the Cape Horn was not much fun to enter and exit. Give me a sit on top from now on.
