Kayak fishing???

[FinsnFur]

A week or so ago i was lookin at peoples paddles as i watched these videos. I thought to my self...i wonder how they keep thier nuts dry, that water has to run right down the handle with every raise of it. I thought hell thatd be an easy fix. The same day I discovered they DO come with drip rings lol. Well alrighty then.
I figured if I get one...I'll take it to the beach and turtle it before I venture out in it. I did see some clips on how to recover. I definitely wanna know that I can do it ahead of time.
Im getting closer to pullin the trigger 😎

What Ronnie said about looking for a better used one is good advise. Keep checking Craigslist. Bass Pro also has a payment plan if you get a new Ascend kayak. A raised seat makes all the difference in comfort. Sitting flat on the floor getting your butt wet sucks, especially in cooler weather. All the ones he listed are good comfortable stable fishing kayaks. And they're a blast to fish out of. I've had mine in small creeks and big lakes like Guntersville. It handled them all with ease.

I have been looking on Craigslist since May And the other local classifieds. Everything I found was either all beat up and patched or 4 hours away.

The one I looked at while at Cabelas I just found out wasnt even the one I'd been eyeballing. It was actually the little sister to the one I want. One's a Stealth Angler and the other is a Stealth 11 Angler.
I wanted the 11 because it had a better seat, better storage and more features, plus it's longer.

So anyway... I pulled the trigger.    and ordered it tonight. They dont have it in stock.

I dont want to tie a bunch of money up in one of these yet. So this will either be a starting point for me and I'll upgrade down the road..or I wont.

Bravo!  Admiral Jim, fleet commander of the Fins and Fur Navy.

And a bravo to your daughter as well!

I will be looking for some water pictures in the future.

The way you fish I'm sure you'll love it. Get a 240cm paddle. And you'll have to downsize your tackle box to mostly your favorite baits. Get a drybox for your wallet and stuff. Retractable ID card holders work good for your clippers and pliers. And the Fish Grip Jr works good for landing bigger fish so you don't have a bulky net with you.

The foam rubber practice golf balls are cheap and make good scupper hole plugs too.

I look at our kayak's and think about Ed getting in one and laugh until I can't see.   They is cheap, fun and the boys use them for hunting, fishing, trapping and to chase girls.

Good tips Ed.  Hell yah i was wondering about finding the right size scupper plugs. Great idea.

Barry..ya can chase girls in these?

HaMeR, Katie asked last night how shes suppose to go fishing with me now.
I said you dont go with me anymore, your busy being a mom.
She says what if Sydney wants to go. Whos gonna teach her?

They do make side kayaks, well more like tow behind kayaks.

I'm thinking Jim just dropped some more coin!!!! 

[bigben]

pretty neat jim.  I know the kayaks years ago were pretty stable.  I'm sure the ones now a days are even more stable.

[weedwalker]

Barry, this is the kayak I get in.

This is exactly the type of boat I'm thinking about. More so than the pedal boats. Used to have one of these & really enjoyed it!!
