Where is the yak located? I'm looking for my first one, and this looks sweet. Will send PM.

Tip: they are CANDY for ling bait. Caught some monsters up in canada on live dabs/flounders.

Hmm. Casey, your links just incite more worries about kayaking and my bad spine. Maybe I should talk to my surgeon before dropping big money on a sport that will kill my back even more 

Have any of you had experience with these? http://www.wavewalk.com/W_Fishing_Kayak_Product_Information.html
They offer a saddle-type seats that look a lot better than most.
Thank yall

I'm also interested in buying leadheads from sizes 1oz to 4oz and then some bigger 10-12oz ones for offshore rockfishing.
I'll go in on a bulk order to save $$$!

Hey Yall!

I'm new around here and in the SF area. Taught myself to fish at age 4 and havn't let up much since then - my next logical step after finally graduating college and getting a "real" job is to buy something nice to fish from - which led me here!

I'm just looking for advice for a damn good seat (I have bad lower back issues from martial arts & wrestling) and a stable fishing yak. Doesn't have to be fast, just good storage and customize-ability. I've read around and it looks like an Ocean Kayak Prowler 11/13 or Wilderness Tarpon 140 is my best bet for my price range (used under 750 bucks so I have so money left to trick it out).
Not really considering any new kayaks - I just can't justify the hit to my savings account till after grad school 

Thanks in advance
-D

Can you post some pics and are you willing to let me demo it?
