The activity has dropped a bit, but it was very predictable. As people have become less attractive they tend to lurk more than they post. People started getting less attractive about 20 -30 years ago and as they started having children, their offspring were uglier than the parents were, It’s only going to get worse unless laws are written to only allow pretty people to mate or at least limit the number of kids ugly people can have. Before you know it, this group will only see one post a week, maybe every two weeks and eventually, it will just be a monthly inquiry about how to make a kayak trailer out of a jet ski trailer. That again goes back to my theory since jet skies generally only support pretty people. So you're saying you're ugly and shouldn't breed ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/31mBTnj.gif)

I adopted other peoples ugly children. 4 of them. I am going to make the world beg before I share my seed.

I was wanting to see what kind of air the bike gets after it launches over her!

Personally I think participation has slowed some. For me, it has put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth how everyone is a "prostaff" or a "youtube personality". It used to be 40 years ago when I started people did this because they loved it not for some kind of a reward. I understand brands need reps but "true people with skill" not a gopro and a lame [censored] Facebook or tictok page. Just my 2 cents.

I have 4 kids and LOVE fishing with every one of them Trying to tackle kayaking with all of the kids has been difficult to say the least. I have 2 kayaks in my garage gathering dust regrettably.

I was on Athens on Monday - saw a lot of other kayaks but all of them were on docks. Mine was the only one on the lake.

I've many times been in the same situation. With more than 1 kiddo it's best to find a spot from land as a home base and run some baits out with kayaks. Have the kiddos who want to paddle go out in pairs. Usually it ends up a good day of fishing and swimming. Most kids love to take yaks out and tip each other off etc. Great fun and natural learning how to deep water reenter the yak.

I can understand people migrating to Facebook message boards rather than forums but I’m not seeing the participation in the real world either like I was 10 years ago.

Lol- Some greatness of thought up in here- Both made me smile-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

this forum is def on its way out. BUT Kayak fishing is NOT..its super hot..EVERY single post i reply to in facebook marketplace, small boats, kayaks especially, dont even last a couple hours, except the idiots that want like $500 or more for a Stock kayak, but the $350 and below ones go so fast...literally like 10-15 this week alone, people are even trying to capitalize pulling out these old crappy kayak they havent used in years and trying to sell them.
its so hard to grab a used one Im at the point I've given up trying to get one, I have a canoe, im just going to spruce up, take my son out instead of myself in a kayak. Seen some pretty good mods for canoe, so I'll worry about a yak once the season goes.

Ocean kayak speck, scrambler, wilderness tarpon....there are a ton of great kayaks for that price range. Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they don't exist. I have had the speck offshore at the rigs several times, frenzy is another one.
