I have the 10 ft model and it hangs out the back of the tailgate just a couple of feet (6 ft bed,2 ft tailgate when down) the couple feet hanging out the back is no big deal. I have a 55 lb thrust trolling motor on it. I fish alone often so i reversed the handle on the trolling motor so it is mounted on the front of the boat and the handle faces me.I sit up near the front or actually a little farther back towards the middle to balance things out. You will want to make a rudder for it. A rudder will make a huge difference from having the wind spin you in circles. See if you can't find an old trolling motor and just use the shaft and the clamp and you can use a piece of plywood or in my case i used a scrap of 1/4 plexiglass .I drilled holes in the plexiglass and used three conduit clamps to mount the plexi to the shaft.

I agree.I only use it as a leader with braid.

I have a 10 ft pond prowler and its a nice handy boat.I am sure if you looked at the reviews on the bass pro shop you will see favorable reviews for it. On a side note i haven't used my pond prowler for the last two years since i bought a fishing kayak.

I hope you change your mind Sonny.I and many others on here have enjoyed your posts over the years.We would miss your presence on here.

I would give it back.I always stop and unhook a shore fisherman when i see one snagged when i am out in my kayak.

He was probably texting one of his friends while he was sharpening your knife.

I am looking forward to your review.I have an older (5-6 years) legend elite spinning rod (7ft,med power) and its my go to all purpose rod. I have thought of upgrading it to an extreme but i like it so much its hard to get rid of it.

Check out you tube also.

This slow summer fishing spell has me bored so I have been thinking of making a rudder for my kayak. I have some scrap 1/4 plexiglass lying around and i was thinking of making it say 4" x 19" for my ride 115. How does that size sound to those of you who have rudders on your kayaks already?

Thanks for the funny post Sam. That was hilarious!

I was thinking of upgrading the seat on my wilderness ride 115 to an elevated one like air pro phase 3 elevated seat. The stock seat is fine but i thought sitting up a little higher would have some fishing benefits to it. The air pro seat is supposed to lift you 5-6 inches.I have never tried an elvated seat before so i was wondering how something like this would effect stability,especially in windier conditions. Anybody have experience kayak fishing in an elevated seat?

Instead of an ultra light rod I bought a st Croix eyecon rod in the 7ft length lite power and its one of my favorite rods. I caught the biggest bass of my life on it (24' and 7#) and it held up perfectly.

He was a frequent poster but I haven't seen a reply on here from him in ages. Is he ok ? did he get banned?

I like using the yamamoto shad shape worm. I like to texas rig it weightless and throw it around cover and let it slowly fall down. Some times i will add a small worm weight to give it a faster drop.

Hey Sam, I am going to ask that ghost thats pestering your house where your double secret pond is located, I wonder if he will spill the beans if i talk to him nicely.lol. Ed

Happy Birthday Andy! I hope your pounding down the carbs (cake & ice cream).

Congratulations to you and your wife. God bless you both.

I am glad your on the road to recovery. God bless you and your family.

Hi Mike, welcome from the south suburbs of chicago.To become a better bass fisherman all you have to do is pick this site apart. The more time you put into reading on here the better bass fisherman you will become.

Congratulations on the great new bigbill. God Bless you and your family.

What a cool story.Thanks for posting it Dmb.

Praying for you and your family stitch.

I like to do the same as the poster above, i will rig my berkley power worms or baby brush hogs weightless and let them glide on the top or slowly fall into an opening in the slop.

I use all spinning outfits and my first rod I bought was a st Croix triumph 7ft medium power. Its a nice multi purpose rod for the money.
