Any Kayak Anglers?

[Brutus]

I'm soon to buy a fishing kayak and was wonderin if anyone else in the T4R world was a yakangler.
I've looked at several and still haven't decided which one is right for me.

Got a rig to show? Post a pic or tell me what you like or dislike about it.
I've recently looked at Pelican and Wilderness Systems, which are kinda pricey, but look awesome.

I've been hangin out here lately for info Home | Your Ultimate Kayak Fishing Resource | YakAngler

Thanks.

I used to have a pelican castaway but once I peddled my buddies hobie, I sold it. Hobies are awesome but pricey and until I get my own, I'll borrow my buddies!

Good luck!

I agree 100% on the Hobie! Also, I would recommend some of the new Jackson boats. They are 100% American-made, and the quality is out of this world. I work at Lewis and Clark Outfitters in Arkansas, and they are our best selling boat. I have personally paddled both, both have pro's and con's. Hobies are very expensive, but def worth it if you want hands-free propulsion. The Jackson Coosa and Daytripper are both very good boats. More affordable than the Hobies, but a little more complicated when it comes to paddling and fishing simultaneously. IMHO, either way you go, they are great boats, especially if you take care of them, they will last years.

I have a rigged out ocean kayak prowler 13. The length is just right for me. Its a good compromise between speed and stability. My buddies have the wilderness boats and love there's. Though we all agreed the hobies are pretty nice, jusst more than what we want to pay. Been eyeing a hobie revolution for awhile.

I have a Wilderness Tarpon 120. I wish i could give a good review on it, but its been so long since i have been in it ;-)..

I got it at a great price and works well for me. Use it for catfishing. Fish with 4 rods at a time on her, depth finder, 4 rod holders.

Hey man just picked up a Pelican Castaway 116 and cant wait to take it out here in Jacksonville, FL. There are tons of really good spots to hit up that are just out of reach from the banks but not big enough to take a boat in. I just need to add a few misc items to really make it a great fishing rig.
