Amazon has a Garmin Colorado 400i Portable GPS System with Preloaded U.S. Inland Lake Maps for $202.95...seems like a good deal, thought I might make everyone aware.

Narrow lake with a lot of speed boats. Fishing can be pretty good up near  the inlet but watch out for changes in flows from releases.

Thanks for the info!!! Know anywhere near there that has less boats and better fishing possibly? 

That's what she said!!!   

I apologize for being sooo immature, but I cant pass up a good one like that! 

Great!  Checkin PM

who did you buy it through?

Mike

Adventure Sports (Kayak City) but it was a Lake Natoma rental.  A bit scuffed and faded but other than that in good shape and a good deal.

I am proud to announce that I have welcomed a new member to the family!  I bought a used (former rental) Emotion Grandslam with the angler package (14' 5")...I took it out for a spin and loved it!  Thanks guys for steering me in the direction of the larger yak, would be hard to deal with less space, and the thing tracks and paddles beautifully.  I did purchase the truck bed extender from Harbor Freight and it works great!

I took my first trip out on Folsom Lake last Saturday, it was crazy windy, but a great day.  I was thankfully I had invested in an anchor before I was out there wishing that I had.  I am looking forward to taking a lot of trips this summer.  I am also looking forward to getting together with some of you all and hooking some fish.  I am forewarning everyone I am a total noob to yaking and fishing, but I am learning quick.

Thanks again for everyone's input...see you all out there on the water soon!!!

Hey i live in orangevale, I have a perception search 15 (not ready to let it go) but you are more than welcome to take it out for the day too see if you like the longer yak.

Let me know,
Mike

Thank you very much!!!!  I may have to take you up on the offer.  After getting everyone's feedback and doing some research I am thinking of getting a 12-15' yak.  The main thing I have to figure out is how to transport a longer boat, the bed of my truck is only 6'.  I might weld up a extension for my trailer hitch and put it on that and the roof.  Any suggestions on how to get the longer yaks to and from the water? 

Oh and as a side note I built this thing last weekend for my little 10' cheap sit in.  Worked good on the test run, now just got to slap some paint on it.  Shouldn't have any problems using it for a longer boat...



Thanks again for the offer Mike! I'll let you know if I wanna try out the longer one before I buy my own.
