Welcome to TexasPaddler.com

This site is generally a Tripping, Exploring, Paddling, Fishing, and Boat building site. I hope you find it informative, interesting, and a place to visit every once in a while. In the future you can expect to see more articles and pictures on activities that mostly involve small paddled craft. I'll be writing many new articles about Trips, Paddling, and Boat Building, but I've also added a link where you can submit your own articles. I'm pretty flexible concerning content. Just remember that this is a family oriented site. There is also a nice photo album where you can get a look at a large variety of pictures and post a few of your own.. I've included a guest album where anybody can post pictures of interest. In addition there are a few specific area albums listed under the Guest Albums category where you can add pertinent photos. I add these albums for people who submit articles with pictures. Prolific authors can have an album of their own. All you need to do is contact me.

This will be a continually evolving site. My goal is to keep it fresh and encourage participation. You can contact me with suggestions, links, or questions at:

Paddling, Camping, and Fishing with the Srchr Conquista
Written by Kim N. Hunter   

In April '07 I took delivery of the first of 2 16' models built by Gerald designated SrchrF16S&G. I was looking forward to using it for my overnight, downstream camping/fishing trips on the Brazos River from the Marlin Falls. Record rainfall produced flooding which made the Brazos unnavigable for over 6 months however, and I had to wait until mid-fall to start my Brazos trips again.

SrchrF16S&G: A Review by Kim Hunter
Written by Kim N. Hunter   

The SrchrF16S&G was offered to me by Gerald as the answer to my overnight river paddling/fishing excursions needs. After several of these trips I discovered I had needs that my current sit-on-top plastic kayak were not meeting, namely speed and gear storage. Nearly all of my trips involve a return trip to the put-in and so half the trip is done upstream, and half is done downstream. I needed a boat that would perform well both into wind and current, as well as with wind or current. We knew that length would solve both of my problems, speed and load storage, but portability could not be sacrificed. Many of my trips involve shallow water portages, some of them as long as a quarter of a mile, and some are uphill. My SOT weighs less than 50 pounds, and I was not willing to see an increase in that weight for my new boat.

Paddling Impressions of the srchrF16S&G
Written by Gerald Kennedy   

The original article for designing the srchrF16S&G, Let’s Design and Build a Boat, listed a few attributes I wanted to get in this boat. SrchrF16S&G is simply a designation for the boat meaning: srchr Kayaks, F for fishing, 16 feet long, and S&G for stitch and glue—for the hull. I’ll make comments on each of those requirements I was trying to meet and then give a full paddling and performance report.
