Got the bug, kayak will let me fish more, and I've been having the itch to get one for a couple years now. Gonna buy the new 2014 Ascend FS12T sometime in the next few weeks. Can't decide if I want the tan or the blue

Any suggestions on things I need to get started? I have a few things from when I set up the pirogue to fish out of.

I'm getting:
Anchor trolley
Paddle
Light/flag
Fish bag
Milk crates (gonna take a couple and chop em up and make a Frankenstein milk crate to fit the tank well area behind the seat)
Broom handle stake out pole/push pole
PVC for rod/net/light holders
Already have a 3 gallon screw top bucket for front tank well
Already have a PFD
Already have anchor/line
Already have marine dry bag if that becomes necessary
Already have small cooler for da beers


What am I missing?


Also....Sup.

fish grip

besides that your list looks good.
it's so tempting to fill up my Outback with crap, but I've been slowly bringing less stuff

Congrats! I just bought the blue FS12T myself. It's a fine rig for the money. I don't bring very much with me at all though. Ice chest, rods and reels, one of those plano bait containers rigged out for whatever I'm fishing for. My PFD, Anchor and Paddle.



Me and my daughter out for a paddle this past weekend.

Post a review when you get it. If I don't find something used in my price range in the next week or so I'm going get the same boat.

ETA: I want a tan one.

Serious question for you yakers.....do you get cramped sitting in the same position for so long? I'd be interested in getting a yak, but it just seems to me it would be uncomfortable after a while.
