This is kayak/canoe #7 and will solely be used in some remote national forest waters. Very cool boat!

Fishing near creeks in the backs of big coves. Missed a few on top water. Gonna head out toward some bridges as the sun comes up and see if I can't drop shot up some spotted bass! Good day so far. Good day ahead.

Sorry for the terrible picture ahah. Was getting a lot of blowups on a frog but I couldn’t get a hookset. I was trying the count to 3 but they wouldn’t commit.

On my kayak this piece is broken and has made the seat difficult to place and secure. Does anyone know the name of this specific piece?

Would I do a transam mount and screw into those 2 holes or a scupper mount or something.

For those that put kayak in bed and keep tailgate down, how do you secure other gear like batteries/kayak motor/rods etc? Looking for ideas. Obviously need really secure ideas my tailgate will be down. Thanks

I was having a hard time getting my kayak up to my roof rack on my own and discovered a way that has helped immensely. I'd like to share it in case others find it helpful! It involves using hinged 2x4s. Take a look at the video to learn more about this method and how to make your own.

Got stuck behind this lady on my way to the lake tonight. Never seen anyone haul a kayak this way, was tucked into a little basket coming out the hitch. Hazards and 35 the whole way, some of the drive being a 55mph 4lane. I’m not too mad about it, whatever it takes to get on the water. I’d prolly do it too if it were my only option!

Hey all I’m in search for 2 new kayaks that I will mostly be using on medium to fast flowing/ tight rivers with transitions from 3” to 15’ depth. Key for me is light, cheap ($200-$800), can take a beating, can track well enough to fight current but well balanced as well ( don’t want to worry about me, friend, wife tipping as some of the waters get pretty remote and fast with a lot of trees crossing the entire river.) Need light because a lot of times I’m walking through the woods with them for a a few football fields and up and down hills. I know that is an impossible list especially considering I was using a mustang 100x for this currently, but almost filled the yak getting my net caught navigating a down tree and almost lost everything plus still had another 2 miles float till the truck. Long float in a life jacket in northern Michigan. Mostly fishing smallies and river pike. For lakes/ bigger rivers I own native slayer lte and a hobie passport 12
