Thread: Fishing Kyak?

The sit on tops are easier to get into when launching, and get out of when loading up, cooler in warmer weather but cooler in cooler weather as you don't have the hul protecting/shielding your lower body. The new WS Ride models have a "high/low" seat option, at an additional cost, but are stable enough to stand up in. I have a Ride 115 and like it alot for the seat (very comfy) and stable for drifting/trolling for crappie. Test paddle anything that interests you as what you think you like in the store may not work on the water. Lots of outdoor places have demo days, take advantage of those to find a yak that suits you.

I looked at the Jackson Big Tuna....it is cool and you can put 2 seats in it.
I wonder how long it Would take Toni Mae to dump us??

I know they can me turtled but it'd take a lot. The main reason I'm looking to buy a BT is I want to troll for stripers in the main lake of beaver lake. And I take 2 or 3 trips to gulf shores every yr, actually going on the 7th, and I want to take it with me to fishing in the ocean. If it can hold up out there I'm sure it'll be fine in a lake. I really like the bubult in livewell and rod storage inside the yak
