I took my kayak out fishing a little over a week ago. I didn't catch my target fish, but did manage to catch a few.

It's a 2007 Perception Search 13. 13' long, 30" beam. I've got a fishfinder installed, and several additional rod holders. The yellow thing in the tankwell is my drift sock. And yes, I have registration stickers on the bow. I know many states don't make you register a kayak, but in...

Due to weather, and our recent move, I haven't been able to take my kayak out in the past two months. Currently, it's in the garage. I still want to winterize it a bit. I don't have a motor to worry about, but: -I need to get it up off the floor of the garage. -Open both hatches, and open...

I went and bought a cheap extension cord holder (the kind you wind yourself by hand) to hold my anchor rope. I put a pool noodle on one side for floatation. I still haven't tried anchoring. I made a pair of rod holders for both trolling and drifting. I just didn't feel like cutting a couple...

That's illegal in this state. To sell a wild fish that you harvest out of State/Federal/City waters, you have to have a commercial license. There's a few folks that severely over-harvest our fish stocks here. I've heard of a family that camps out at one lake for a couple weeks, with a trailer...

Or possibly the "Sunfish Slayer". I've had the thing out many times now. The first few times weren't so much for fishing as they were for me to figure out how manueverable it is, what kind of gear I need where, etc. I swiped a milk crate from work (with manager's permission). I got a 3-tube...

Thursday I bought a Perception Search 13 (13') fishing kayak. Shortly after I got it home, I realized I had a problem with it. When I came home from work Thursday night, I realized I had a second problem. Those problems are: two of my boys want to use the thing! I've got a whole list of...

Hello! My name is Allen. I live in Oklahoma, hence the handle. I am a fishing addict, but without a boat. I'm looking to get a boat to get myself away from the bank and increase my catch rates. I'm a member over on Doc's Net Cooking Talk website. I've been meaning to make my way over here...
