Paddled this beast yesterday over 3 miles...arms were dead, covered a lot of water...and felt completely comfortable all the time. It was a pain to fight against the tide and wind half the time to stay on a spot. Great yak, just bulky to put on the car, but a yacht once on the water. once the water hits 70 degree's, then its standing time in the deep water while anchored next to some rips where the fish are active.... in the ocean.
For freshwater... this yak would be a beast, but I'm a salt water guy.
Yeah that's a serious kayak, dude. Id like to upgrade to something a little better but its hard to justify when the one I have works pretty well for my purposes.
Heres a couple pics from a super calm day on the lake, no real big fish, but I did get 17 bass that morning.
The rest of these are from last week when I went and paddled a local river, caught 5 bass, some bream, and a baby snook, but besides that, its a great place to see a lot of wildlife. I love getting out in natural florida, its my unwind time. Im one of those "at one with nature" kind of people lol

nice...
the green beast finally got slimed the other day. 27-28" bluefish, couldn't believe the fish gave me a good tow. I launched around 1:30 am, in a new area I never fish, by myself most of the day, kayak felt completely safe all night. Had a great view of our solar system, as I pretty much watched stars all night once away from the lights. It was just amazing. did about 4 miles...but most of it was slow strokes here to there...no current or wind to fight...Damn relaxing. wish more fish was around.

Yeah man. It was the best steelheading I've ever done, but you're right. It's a dream for a guide to load the boat like that, yet alone us schmucks. This was first time I've actually hit the steelhead and didn't have a rod passed to me to reel in. Lots of salmon before, never steelhead. Didn't make it saturday but hoping I get a pass to go this coming Saturday.
Good job B!
Took the boat out this morning for the first time in over a month, shits been crazy. Started out slow, the full moons arent great for morning fishing, better for night fishing. Once the sun was up I found some action... caught two snook, and lost two others. Also caught a few jacks. Got some amazing snorkeling in too, water was even more clear than usual, approaching 100ft visibility, it was amazing. Lots of life around too.
