An Alternative to Float Tubes and Pontoons

An Alternative to Float Tubes and Pontoons. I saw this at Scheels today...A kayak on steroids. From the attached pics you can see the mid-ship Minn Kota. The motor drags you forward and foot pedals going to a rear rudder provide direction..kinda cool, but expensive at $3k

Yeah for $3k I'm better off buying a used little fishing boat on ksl. Even those Hobie kayaks($2k) are pricey.. During the winter I was watching a lot of kayak fishing videos and most of those kayaker were on Hobies. I use an inflatable boat to fish from and have it setup with a gas trolling motor. I was thinking of getting a kayak as well but don't have room to store one in my condo. Love how I can deflate my boat and store on a shelf but hate having to set it up every time I go out. It beats shore fishing though!

There are dozens of kayaks designed for fishing. I have a Hobie Pro Angler, but you can get a paddle kayak for as little as $400. All the benefits of a boat but with NO noise to alert the fish. And you don't have to register them, either.

True...but you do have to worry about distracted captains like me dealing with the boat noise and fretting over the boat fees I owe....[]

I see Old Town has a give away for one of these items on line now if you want an e-mail to register send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you the e-mail so you can apply... They hook up the give away craft with lots of nice swag to make it a fishing machine worth around $5K... I was hoping it had the I-pilot linked to the motor, but I didn't see the rudder as the foot controls, so maybe not as ultimate of craft as I thought, but still would be a great machine to win... E-mail has links so you can learn about the craft, it's a nice machine, but pretty spendy for my budget... Later J

Those do look sweet. I also think the ones with the pedal drive look interesting. Particularly when it's windy, paddling a kayak can be frustrating as you try to juggle paddling and fishing. A drift sock, an anchor, and an anchor trolley are a must for me on the kayak.

Might have to cut and paste it into your browser

I think it's sweet the only problem is when I win it I don't know where I will store it[]
