Looking for info.

Would like some info on kayaks. I told myself never happen because your setting so low. Now I see they have done wonders with the seats so my interest is back somewhat. I would love to check into them as far as comfort which ones I should be looking at and maybe a propulsion system foot or small electric. Again Just looking for now with a couple back surgeries I want to look long and hard. Strictly for fishing.

Comment by Slip Sinker on August 9, 2013 at 6:26pm: well after dealing with some neck and arm pain the past week... ( i havnt been able to flyfish) i decided to take the yak out and relax, paddle a little, and float some bobbers with some left over worms from the kids outing a couple weeks ago. never thought of ross lake being much of a bluegill lake, but while stick bait fishing for bass i had quite a few strong bluegill tugs. so i catch quite a few small bg's and a bonus 9.2 incher. sat side saddle most of the time ... just relaxing.

Comment by Slip Sinker on August 8, 2013 at 10:12am: took delivery of my anchor trolley kit for the yak. easy to install with the rivots supplied. should be able to test it out this afternoon. may even hook one up to the jon boat.

Comment by Slip Sinker on August 5, 2013 at 6:56am: thanks guys... the yellow perch was a complete accident... i was skipping a unweighted senko style worm texas rigged under the bushes... caught one earlier in the year of 14"... the lake completely surpriseds me on the occasional jumbo perch... it doesnt fit the profile of a typical perch lake.

but the point is got up close in the skinny water with the kayak.

Comment by Jim Gronaw on August 5, 2013 at 6:18am: Great job in the kayak!!

Comment by Allen Morgan on August 5, 2013 at 4:45am: I'll agree with that! Darn tasty, as well!

Last year, one of my friends had his yak in the river here, casting artificials for Stripers. He ended up catching a 30 lbs Blue Catfish; it towed him around for an hour!

Comment by Ray Ditzenberger on August 5, 2013 at 4:20am: that is one nice yellow perch.

Comment by Slip Sinker on August 4, 2013 at 11:03pm: Two of the fish i snuck up last night on ... 20" bass and a yellow perch of 13" .

Comment by Slip Sinker on August 4, 2013 at 8:49pm: Took the kayak out again tonight fishing shallow and caught my 2nd PB perch 13" lg and a 20" largemouth that towed me around a bit. I LOVE KAYAKING!
