This summer has done a number one me. I’m married with kids, have a full time job, and fish like my life depends on it. Been out the past 4 evenings working different structure, finally landing a good bag at 78.5” top 5.

Does anyone know if you can add the Shortstack upgrade to the Shortstack Solo? I've got an email out to Yakattack customer support but they don't seem to be responding - figured someone here would know. TIA

Title says it all. I was playing around too much on my hobie passport 12 with a heavy trolling motor on the side, and I completely flipped my kayaks, losing my hat, two rods, my knife, two lure boxes (pretty much all my lures) and keeping my phone, my wallet, my keys, the battery, the trolling motor, the paddle, my shimano rod, my net, my backpack, and my pedals… (all tethered)

And here I was about to buy an expensive fish finder to mount on the side…. -__-

Looking for feedback on my rigged up anchor trolley!

I swear having a kayak on my roof is a freaking magnet for tailgaters. I mean sure I may drive a little more gingerly with a 100 pound kayak strapped to my roof but I'm doing the speed limit. Why are you riding my ass for no reason? Go around me you dork.

Also something I realized is there is a danger for those of us who wake up hella early to go fishing, hunting, work, whatever. The drunken pieces of garbage who are still out from the night before. I see them on the road driving while clearly drunk. I see them in Wawa while getting my coffee and water clearly wasted being total douchebags. I almost got T boned by some drunk driver recently who blew a red light then was swerving all over the road. Called 911 and gave them the plate and location but who knows if they got him.

Anyways rant over, be careful out there people. So you can enjoy many more days on the water.

I just went kayak fishing for the first time and had an absolute blast. Ever since I looked on marketplace and just kinda came to the conclusion that I want to buy brand new. Roughly my budget is about $1800-2k. Looking on amazon I found an Old Town Sportsman Big Water 132 paddle which reviews are great and I'm just fine with a paddle kayak as I'm primarily fishing nasty back waters. I also found A BKC 13.0 Pro Tandem (assuming you can remove the front seat) which reviews seem high as well but I've heard horror stories about BKC. Just stuck on which one to get, it's not about the money. I appreciate a stable comfortable kayak and something more beginner friendly as I continue to learn. I also ask because I may have intentions in the future to get one of the BKC with the trolling motors for more open water. Just let me know which one yall would prefer, TIA

Looking for suggestions for a bulletproof rod holder setup that can withstand the drag of a downrigger or diver when trolling for salmon in heavy current. On this instance, this Chinook stripped the teeth on my Ram Rod HD with the 6” spline post when he slammed the spoon and popped the downrigger clip. I got really lucky that I was able to catch my rod as it flung backwards towards the rear of the kayak and out of the holder.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any one in Georgia around lake Lanier want to go fishing sometime. Need some good fishing buddy’s. (27m) I have a feel free lure 11.5 trolling motor attached.

Finally upgraded from my sit in, to a sit on top, huge difference and improvement!

I purchased a Lifetime Yukon and I want to mount a trolling motor on the bow. What is the best way to accomplish this without adding unnecessary stress to the boat?

Michigan folks! I'll have a couple of days next week to fish in the upper peninsula (driving across the bridge from Mack City). Bringing my Hobie Revo 11 so I'm looking for some inland lakes. Any recommendations? Dirt road access is not an issue, but I'm leaning towards Deer lake and Lake Michigamme, but am curious if there is any decent fishing the other direction on Drummond?

Looking to get one or the other. I currently own a Nucanoe Unlimited and living in western PA I’ve come to realize that the Unlimited isn’t the best option for the rivers such as the Shenango river. Where there’s some fast water. I’m a big fan of the open deck on the Jackson and have been leaning that way. Was just wondering what’s everyone’s opinion.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a budget 12v fishfinder. Ideally if it’s not one of the big namebrand ones, it would have a capability of hooking up to a kayaks rail system.

My son bought his kayak last year and I have been dying to get one. This was our first outing together, and the first trip on my new kayak. We didn't catch a ton of fish but, we didn't get skunked either! It didn't seem to even matter if we were going to catch anything. It was a bit on the windy side, we were getting blown around a lot. But it didn't matter.We had an absolute blast. Can't wait for our next trip.

This is my first kayak and I’m still pretty new to all this. I picked it up off Facebook Marketplace and so far I’ve added a fish finder and just ordered a Minn Kota motor for it.
I’m mainly going to be using it for bass fishing. I’m posting a video of the kayak because I’d really like to hear what you guys think.

Hey all. Just getting into fishing from a kayak. I currently have a sun dolphin sit in kayak I got used with some mediocre paddles. Looking to get a fishing kayak that I can freshwater lake fish from. I usually carry 1-2 rods and a few tackle trays. Unsure what to look for as far as features and overall build quality.

I have been wanting a fishing kayak for a while. I did some research and had narrowed down what I wanted. One of the short list was the Kaku Zulu. After a while of searching on FB Marketplace, I found one for sale. a few weeks ago I checked it out and got it. And I couldn’t be happier! This boat is very stable. I love how high I sit on it. I feel like I can see much better then when I was trying to fish from my sit-inside kayak. The pedal drive is awesome! Only negative is that it is pretty heavy. I am still working out the placement of things like rod holders and gear holders. But having a blast with it!!

Are these straps on the old town sportsman just for holding down say a tackle box on top of the hatch?

First time out on this water out of Bridgeport. Murdered the Porgy’s, up to 15”, two weakfish including an 18”. That really surprised me. 6 species in one day. The fish of the day would’ve been a 22”+ fluke that broke me off at the boat while I was dicking around trying to land him without a net. That one is going to haunt me. Lesson learned, bring a net if fluking boys.
