re: Post Your Yak Setup

I had a collapsing net and eventually tossed it. I actually don't carry a net anymore. Saves a good amount of space. I may regret it one day, but I haven't lost a fish yet without it.

I have that orange net as well. I dont know brand but it issold at Academy. It is orange floating foam around the hoop and handle. The net itself is rubber coated. I think it is considered a wading net because the short handle has a bungee and clip inside to attach to a belt. I have heard from others that the orange foam falls apart over time but I havent noticed the slightest bit but I do take care of my equipment and the only time it sees the environment is while fishing.

I highly recommend it for yaks.

Are you talking about adding foam for more rigidity or adding foam for more buoyancy? I suppose to answer is no on both accords.

They lied. Adding foam inside the hull will do nothing for stability or buoyancy.

Deacon, I'm probably 50% with flounder without a net. Them sob's spit bait when they hit the air. I quit trying to flip 'em and am now exclusively netting all fish.

I lost a platter size flounder Saturday trying to make it back to the yak for my net. He hit the top of the water, spit out my bait and took off.

I didn't realize that net had such a short handle. I don't know if I'll like that but for the price I may pick it up anyway and give it a try.

I saw that net the other day and thought about buying it. I have yet to actually need a net. Like deacon said, I may regret it one day, but until I've determined that one is necessary I'll do without. Less clutter in the yak.

Trout net from academy is what I use

I take it you haven't picks it up yet?

I don't plan on doing it.

I still can't find a seat solution. Acad has some kind of seat in the turkey section that feels awesome, but it's $80.

Yea they're out of stock for now until the '15 models show up or else I would've bought that day. They had my name down for the first Lizard Lick or Copperhead that came in but saving a shite ton of money swayed my mind on color.
