I’m jealous of that 7% sales tax.

Nice yak

What’s the best bang for your buck yak for inshore fishing? Perception?

I think I can rig a new perception up with an anchor trolley, new seat, and an upgraded paddle for about $1000. What do y’all Think?

Will do. Had to do some re-rigging to the rudder, but did get a chance to stick it in a very small pond the kin folk have.

Very quick boat. Seemed to be pretty stable. This is the first yak I've owned that is a true fishing rig. First one I've been able to stand in. The real test will come when I get a chance to fish.

Will say this, the rod holders that are built in seem pretty shallow. But the cup holder fits a 12oz silver bullet just fine

One with pedals. The wind and current can turn on in an instant. At least get one with a rudder.

You can probably find a video of someone installing real rod holders in those spots. I think that has been a common complaint.

Wilderness Systems Commander 120 - $500 from SierraTradingPost.com

This is an absolute steal for a now discontinued kayak. It's a blank slate without a ton of bells and whistles, but this is a great boat. Stable, versatile and fairly lightweight at 64lbs.

Ocean Kayak Big Game Prowler II - $900 from STP too

Another helluva deal. This kayak is an absolute tank. Suuuuper stable and with a 600lb weight capacity. The accessory mounting plates allow for a ton of customization. Ocean Kayak is owned by Old Town and this kayak is a sister kayak to the Old Town Predator series. This is a heavier kayak than the WS Commander, but it comes rigged with more fishing specific amenities.

ICAST is coming up soon. Curious if anyone has heard anything about new kayaks or products.

Short, but wide on the PDL. Interesting.

Yep. I am not sure how that will impact performance, but I got the Predator PDL to almost 6 mph yesterday with nothing in it. The PDL drive is a beast.

Damn, I wish I could go. I'll be in Fourchon this weekend on an overnight trip.

I hope y'all are going to catch reds because the trout fishing has been horrific the past few weeks.

It was brutal 2 weeks ago. I'll probably stay East until the fall flounder run.

That's a long time. Is that a usual thing? Bad all summer?
