My Projects

On a recent family vacation to the South Shore of Lake Bastrop, we spent most of our time kayaking around the near by coves. Here is a small collection of video.

During our last family vacation, my son and I did a little perch fishing from my homemade pirogue.

During our family camping trip to the South Shore on Lake Bastrop, I was able to sturdy myself to be able to stand up and paddle my homemade pirogue. I’ll be using this boat to do most of my fly fishing from.

Took my handmade pirogue and fished the Narrows on Lake Travis. No bites. No Fish. No Luck, means lots of video. Pictures and video were shot with a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TS1

Dan McCoy “Whatcha think.”
Pablo “I think it will be alright.”
Pablo “Its first voyage.”
Pablo “Ahhh, yeah.”
Dan McCoy “Its going to need some weight in it.”
Pablo “Yup, fish.”

It is estimated that the max capacity of this pirogue will be between 575 and 600 lbs. Twice that of my Wilderness System’s Tarpon 160is.
