re: The Official Kayak Thread

I love mine. I have a 30lb trust trolling motor I internally wired on the boat. Wide open layout and a ton of gear track space you can set up however you want. It's light at 64 lbs and paddles better than you would think by looking at it. My biggest critique is the high sides catches wind. It's a very clean, simple fishing setup.

It appears the KC rumor was a bad one. One of the owners responded in the owner's group and said they'll keep making boats and have something exciting on the way.

I encourage any KC guys here to join the FB group KC Kayak Owners Group. The more ideas and feedback the better.

What a terrible rumor.

So, which one of you is the paddlin the south guy?

Nice ride. Upgrading?

like hearing that, wonder if their putting peddles in the "bathtub"

Well, as of yesterday I've officially joined the club. I'll be doing most of my fishing out of Shell Beach. Looking forward to the first trip soon. I still need a good PFD and a few odds and ends like a flare, whistle, and some other little trinkets. But, this thread has been a lot of fun to read.

Anyone here have the Slayer Propel?

I actually stopped using a net a few years ago when fishing out my yak. Takes up space, hooks get snagged, etc. Can't say I've lost many fish because I didn't have one. If I go bass fishing, I may bring one in case I hook into a hawg.

I'm going to get a net for red fishing. My father-in-law has one that is coated with some type of plastic material that doesn't get snagged by hooks as easily. I also need a better anchor. A friend suggested using a broom handle with a T bracket.
