  • Just brought home my new toy (LOTS of pics)



    After doing an intensive research for many months about which fishing kayak to buy I finally pulled the trigger a couple days ago. Now I have one more obsession on my list .

    No more crowded piers, annoying people, just me and this lady in the open water. I still have to get a couple of goodies to supplement my fishing experience but I am so happy

    I am so exicted to put this yak on the water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    But it's raining so much here in FL , just when I picked her up. I got rain all the way,

    I made my purchase at Strike Zone Fishing in Jacksonville, FL. I drove 2 hours.

    Here are the specs for this beauty:

    14' 4" Long
    33" Wide
    550lb Weight Capacity

    Read along to see all the nice features....

    Well for only $40 I got this hitch extender at Harbor Freights. I placed some padding on it to protect the yak.






    Getting home


    I installed the seat and added a couple of fishing goodies to give you an idea of my fishing platform. It has so much storage!. It's still a work on progress.






    Dry hatch in the back, sealed compartment. It is right behind the seat.




    Center hatches. It has an internal bait tank (I just have to buy a pump), which can be used for storage too.





    Big front hatch, which can be used as a seat for a kid.







    Here is a nice compartment for the BEER , of course it has to be close to the seat.





    I hope you liked the pics

      I am telling you once you get into this thing you won't go back . I really hope I can get in the water this weekend too, but it has been raining straight for about a week here, my luck.

        Odd, I am as far away as can be from you in the US and its AMAZING outside! No rain for the first time in a while. My aunt just moved to the waterfront in seattle, i can't begin to tell you how awesome it is the be sitting on what seems to be a sheet of glass and seeing the sunrise. Im requesting action shots when ya get some good weather haha

              I love kayaking! Now you are going to have something else to do on weekends besides detail haha

              I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

              I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
              Remove swirls my friends.

                    That looks like loads of fun! I've never been kayaking myself, but I wouldn't mind trying it. Hope you have a blast!

                      SWEET! That thing looks awesome!! Was that the Strike Zone by Cycle Gear on Beach Blvd? Just random curiousity...You'll have tokeep us updated on how you like the 'yak. I've never gone myself but I've wanted to for a while. Oh well; I'm sure it will come.

                      Know what you mean about the rain! We sure needed it though...

                          It's a kayak. He is the motor!

                          Meaning you have to paddle it.
