We're you stable in that?
Tarpon off a kayak or paddle board is a real thriller. I tried it once and said never again when the fish I hooked was eaten by a pack of bull sharks about 15 feet from me. Thank goodness it wasn't a hammerhead or I'd likely have been in the water.

All day. I used to have a touring that I used for exercise on the lakes in Knoxville. These sit on tops are great
cool. i wish other folks around here would figure out how to put an orange flag on those.

Yikes! Those big hammerheads are scary!! Maybe I'll rethink that!!!
Those types of seats make all the difference in the world with comfort. I have a kayak and it's just a plastic molded seat and after about an hour tops I feel like I have running up my spine.
I'm glad you like it! That thing has saw many panfish and yellow perch come on board. A 15-20 lb blue cat will take you for a ride. I can only imagine a redfish in it!

No orange flag needed. I wear safety green shirt (Hivis Yellow) or hunter orange and matching hat. You can see me from 1000 yards
not in a bass tracker before it gets on plane and trimmed out. it rides bow high. although i look around quite a bit before taking off i almost hit a kayaker last year at dusk. they also need a headlamp or a light when the light gets low, which most around here dont and probably dont know its not required.No orange flag needed.

Shoulda got the Yamaha SHO150, no? LMAO.
watch crab pots for tripletail too!!!
One of my favorite fish to target when tarpon aren't around.
I really enjoyed bringing a rod with DOA shrimp and a few beers up in the tower of my boat and cruising the pot lines in Dec/Jan. I would sometimes run over 100 miles in a day.

Would appreciate your stating the exact brand, model, specs of this your new "craft"!
Last time I attempted a "sit on top" kayak, about 30 seconds later, I found myself submerged in the icy cold waters of the Clinch River! Have since had no desire to try that again!
But reading your posts here, maybe my friend's "sit on top" was just an older, less stable one.

Nice Yak!
Be careful storing your yak on saw horses long term, molded plastic tends to dent real easy over time and you might create ridges/bumps.

I loaded it up on my golf cart last night. Even Maurice ( he is about a 100 year old deer) came over to see it and thought I was crazy.
I ran to the end of the island and up a creek that splits the island with docks. Caught one trout in a short trip.
The kayak is a NATIVE SLAYER propel 10. 10ft with peddle drive.
The peddle drive is 20# and removable for easier transport, even on a cart! Ha!
Ps. I'm thrilled Crow Terminator bought a bass boat!
Maurice is truly a geriatric deer and the bigs push around

Or fAt man in a skinny boat! Way easier to get over the mountain than a 20 ft center console!

I went driving Saturday because of the big winds and got permission to put it in about 100 yards from a really great flats that's tough to get to with center consoles . Next time I go down about 5 # of Benton's bacon is going over to that fellows house!

Thanks 7mm08!
Wondering about the durability of the peddle drive going over rocks, as well as maybe getting tangled with some lily pads in some of the places I like to bass fish.
Would you take a float down the Clinch is that?
