i keep everything in front for easy access..but keeping extra stuff in a crate i think would be essential..

heres mine.. not done yet.. looking for a crate set up..

yes.. don't be afraid to put holes in your yak.. just use a rubber washer, and bolt the screws on.. then tighten the nut on the inside of your yak to be sure you don't rip off the holder. plain screws might not be a good idea for something you handle so many times.. just my opinion..

oh man, today was great.. got a smallie and a nice 1.9lber.. the other guy i met up with caught one in between my two.. it was nice.. we even got carded by the Virginia Gaming board.. I was actually really happy about that.. Made me feel like I got my moneys worth out of my fishing license.. hahahhaha. I ended up asking him how the lake was and he told me they had just did another "stunning??" when they count the number of fish.. and he said the population of bass and other gaming fish are "very healthy"..so I had to ask.. where the hell are they.. he was very hesitant to tell me the "honey holes".. but i know now.. ;D ;D the 1.9lber fought like a nice 4.5lb catfish.. ripping out line, and cruisin under the yak.. a good day it was.. Unfortunately, the water level is getting really low.. we need some rain..

Going to take the yak out for a (hopefully) great day of fishing!

Wow Sam, Very nice post!

if you ever want to see the redfish 12 in action, your more than welcome to try mine out.. although, i have to admit i really wouldn't mind having a tarpon as well..

If your looking for a quality SOT you can keep for a number of years, look at natives/tarpons/ocean kayaks/heritage/or hobies.. i researched this for quite a while before deciding on a heritage redfish 12.. If your looking for a fishing kayak, i personally think this is the way to go.. but that is again my opinion.. if your not doing much fishing on it.. who cares.. check out www.kayakfishingstuff.com .. a great link, and tons of help if you have questions.

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone wanted to head out to Fountainhead either Saturday or Sunday the 23 or 24th of august. Thinking of Kayaking out to a good spot to fish a variety of fish.. Have had some luck at other lakes, now trying to expand into new territories..

I'll be heading to Burke Lake tomorrow between 1 and 2pm. If anyone is interested in meeting up that would be great! Also, if anyone has any great "spots" and wouldn't mind sharing your secrets help me out.. or PM ME!!! ;D 8-)

Missed that part!! Call me out when you head down =D will do!

Man I would love to take you up on that offer, but I'll be out of town that wk... Catch some nice porkers!

Not quite an expensive mistake, but i was handing the wife a st croix triumph/5ft for crappies and panfish with a cheapo spinning reel combo off the side of the kayak.. next thing you know splash..it's gone.. i guess you guys are right..does happen.. unfortunately..

Go with a kayak, You'll have so much more fun!

He hasn't gotten back to me yet, but when i find out i'll be sure to let u know.. He's invited me for a trip to his "spot".. I may have to schedule some time to visit him down in richmond for a blast.. Rich, I went back out yesterday.. and on the 2nd outting, I managed to land 2 smallies at that lake.. the senkos w/ the chartreuse tail worked!

Check this out.. my buddies flat head caught yesterday! this must have been a blast to catch.. man..

thanks, yeah.. if i had to figure out the logistics for everything on this yak, i'd go nuts.. 8-) Thats why I just copied my friends yak to the T. hahahaha

A good day for sure.. nice fish!

My friends Yak- w/ a nice flat head to boot.. hope he doesn't get mad i posted this.. hahaha

Here is my Yak - Heritage Redfish 12. Outfitted with a Eagle 242 FF, 3 Scotty Rod Holders, 2 Flush Mounted Rod Holders.. I TOTALLY Cannot take credit for the way this yak was put together.. My buddy Rob has the exact same yak, and i copied it from head to toe.. Absolutely no originality, but I love it anyways..

Alright, my apologies for taking so long to post these pictures.. This is my new Mad River Canoe from Dicks Sporting Goods.. (Great for family outing or with friends..)

Hey guys If its ok with you guys I'd love to tag along on sunday. How's the water there. Calm or choppy? Fast slow etc... I've never been there.
