Yep. The yak was made with the battery compartment and a place to attach the motor, but i don't think ocean kayak makes these anymore...i would probably get another one

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..)

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..

View from the yak..  

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

Nicely rigged kayak! Space is a premium on mine (only 9'-10') so I'm still trying to work out the best places to put stuff.

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

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

That's a huge cat.  What's he using to catch the hunkers?

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!

Wow amazing cat, they got a bunch in Richmond that size but I've never targeted them and I dunno how to handle them... looks like it'd be a fuuuun fight though

Cool!

I have yet to catch any smallies.

I may have to schedule some time to visit him down in richmond for a blast..

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

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

will do!

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-)

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..  

Yo!!! What's up Eddie! FYI that last catfish was a Blue cat (not flathead).  And for the guy who wanted to know what I used, it was a live bluegill on a circle hook.  And yes, it was hella fun.  As far as kayak fishing goes, I'm up in Richmond, I have a Redfish 12 and love it.  I love the  area just below pony pasture area (James River)in Richmond,  I go down to Virginia Beach pretty often and fish in Lynnhaven inlet, too.  Let me know if you ever want to join me.  Ed, we gotta catch up and fish the twin yaks.

Heya Robchoi, I'm down in Richmond too with a Hobie sport, lemme know if you head out to fish down here one day, I'm definitely up for it!

I'll be down at the Eastern shore (Kiptopeke) this weekend, but maybe next week we can try for some smallies in the James.  I was thinking of taking a trip to Briery Creek some time, too.  I'll let you know.  I wonder how much this rain will affect the fishing.

yea...I was planning to launch down river of belle isle, I had some luck there a few weeks back...I hope the rain doesn't turn the fish off

ROBBBBB!!!  WHATS UP DUDE!!!  YEA MAN!!!  FINALLY JOINED THE BEST FORUM ON THE NET.. you gotta show these guys the other cats you caught!  I'm going out this Sat to Beaverdam again with a buddy of mine.. Hey what are you doing on Labor day?  Hows the baby coming along?

Like I was telling Simon, I'm gonna be down at the Eastern shore (Kiptopeke), flounder fishing, maybe some speckled trout, etc.  The baby's coming along great (Dr. says).  She's been kicking alot.  Good luck at Beaver dam.  Is this the place on Occoquan river you were talking about?
