Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: Kayak roof basket

« on: March 10, 2025, 09:40:35 AM »

I have seen similar going down the road on newer vehicles.
Believe its due to roof design and attaché points ?? Way to much for a kayak and not adjustable to match kayak bulkheads for tie down security

Non fishing adventure. Check out the Theater of the sea in Islamorada and swim with the Dolphins and get a dolphin ride.

Back to fishing. If driving down when see a dive shop stop and get a map of the ship wrecks they dive on Great fishing spots

There is a kayak fishing group in Florida. search and send them a e mail and get info on Local kayak fishing etc . ask ifyou can join them during your dates
Very Nice down there.Bring $$$
Enjoy

Perfect rod has been made and sold for a while
UGLY Stick
Just pick the one to meet individual needs
They have a good selection and can set up separate rods for each different fish you are targeting

Only thing with Tragger is cant leave out side the pellets crumble due to moisture
Love the set and forget

I use the frabil and keep it in the water while I'm drifting or moving slow (TONS of drag). If I'm in transport and need to make tracks I pick it up and store it aft. I've rigged a long air hose taped to it's rope with an air stone inside, and an air bubbler clipped onto the back of my seat. Keeps the bait frisky when I'm moving. Used that system all last year's works great. I'd take a picture, but it's dumping outside!

That air hose is slick idea. Thanks for posting

General Talk / Re: Pros and cons of sit on top Kayak vs sitting in Kayak

« on: June 22, 2024, 10:33:27 AM »

Before sit on tops people fished from sit in very comfortable
Should really think about were you will be fishing and what for
Lake, river, ocean ?
Most sit on tops have way to much equipment loaded on them, to heavy , to slow for any distance
If piece of mind then outback
M2 cents

Measure from CL of front bulkhead to CL of rear bulk head
Set your cross bars that distance apart Strap it down over the bulkhead and go

If roof length wont allow then fwd cross bar to me is most important To secure at bulkhead
Rear just becomes balance point

No bulk head then make a temp block to suport the hull so strap is solid

Would it be possible to get a LIKE button and or a thumbs up or down button to vote on a posting.
The recent posting of the new boat design really shows a need for them
Cheers

Interesting, innovation is alive and well BUT
First thing I see is the front of the rear portion is flat. To me you are pushing water not gliding over so will be slow IMO
Probably ok for fresh water use in flat calm water.
Not for ocean use IMO
The foot steering is interesting but mounted high ???
Maybe retrofit a sit on top ???
