The kid and i went out to Lake Bardwell in Ennis today. Fish weren't biting, but it was our first trip out to "big water" .......had a blast, and got a pretty good workout.
Has anyone done the Llano River? The general store does a guide service where you can use their yaks or your own. Curious what the river is like.

We should plan a group trip in September! The hubby, kiddo and I want to go do something like this and the Llano river is beautiful but he's having back surgery Monday so will be out of commission a few weeks...
Just picked up a new Pescador Pro 12 from Academy. Really liking this boat. A lot of upgrades on it from the Sport model that I had before. Mainly the seat. Paddling 10 miles of the Brazos tomorrow am.......
I'm up around 300 lbs. How well would one of these fit me or I fit it? I would like to stand in it if at all possible.
Are the longer ones better for all round water, smooth, windy?
I don't live near Austin so I'm doing some research before I get real serious.
Thanks
I'm around 290 and 6'4" and have had the same questions you now are asking. You'll need at least a 12' boat. Wider the better for a higher weight capacity. Also, take into consideration your weight plus the weight of whatever you'll have with you as the total weight towards the boat capacity. For instance, you weight 300lbs, 15lbs of fishing gear, 10lbs cooler and you are at 325lbs. Get a boat in the 375-400lb capacity range to leave yourself plenty of room....
