Anyone into Kayaking?

I am finally really getting into it.
I have a pair of Ocean Kayaks that my wife and I take out as often as possible.
Anyone else into it?

Kayaking...oh god no...
Fishing while happening to be in a kayak...oh hell yes.0 -
Mine is not set up for fishing (yet) but it is set up for SCUBA. Both of them have tank wells pre built into them.Kayaking...oh god no...

Kayaking without fishing would be like my wife laying on our bed naked with a "Don't Touch Me" sign...
Cool, I mainly just use mine to fish local rivers and lakes, and all in freshwater.0 -
I am always happy to rent a sit-on-top kayak and paddle around Monterey Bay or La Jolla Cove, or Catalina Island. It is a great activity and a super way to haul a lot of gear and picnic fixin's and then set up in a remote spot and feel quite civilized. Money well spent.0

That's really cool. I dive, too, that would be a good kayak to have. What brand/model is it?0 -
For both of them, the brand is "Ocean Kayak" and the model is "Scrambler".

Mine is a sub model called "OK Diver" which makes it about a foot or so longer and about four inches wider then my wifes Kayak.
Both have the tank wells and straps.0 -
I fish out of a 10' Heritage Angler....tricked out with a depth finder, gps, retractable anchor, dry storage, and electric bilge pump. Sweet little boat, IIDSSM. I also have a 14' Heritage tandem for when my wife wants to ride along. (I love my wife dearly but I gotta say I miss my little yak when that happens.) I recently bought a 12' fiberglass shell that I'm in the process of rigging but it's actually more of a pirogue than a yak. Looks very similar but it's a lot more stable.0

I'm rocking a Malibu Mini-X. I like it because I can fit it in the back of my Avalanche with the back still sealed.0

Cool! Thanks. Now if I just lived in FLA still.....but there is a lot of diving and kayaking here in the PNW. Have fun with it. I know a lot of people dive off kayaks, great way to get to the reefs in SoFLA without spending a lot of $$.0 -
Lately I have been taking it right off of Lake Worth beach but, now that my wife is starting to go with me, I am going to build a few homemade Kayak dollys.

Why a bilge pump?
It is a Sit on top, right?
Unless you have plugged your scupper holes.0 -
While I do envy the ease of transport, isn't it a bit small? You look like a big guy.I'm rocking a Malibu Mini-X. I like it because I can fit it in the back of my Avalanche with the back still sealed.0 -
Yes! Best place I've been is the Elkhorn Slough near Monterrey. There are so many animals! We had a super cute otter following us for a while.0

No, it's not a sit-on-top...and it tends to take on a lot of water. I fish drop-and -pool type streams mostly and the shoals can be a bit much for this small boat when the run-off is heavy. I took the pump out of another boat and wired it to the little battery I installed to power the gps and fish finder. It cost me less than buying an apron for it.0 -

It's rated for 350 lbs, so it works fine for me. It's a really wide boat which I like for fishing. Also it has 4 molded rod holders and plenty of space to store fishing gear. I mainly bass fish, and take 4-5 rods per trip.0 -
Hmmmm....

Maybe I will have to add a third boat to my growing fleet.....0 -

I have never been in a sit in myself. I would like to try some day but, I would have to take lessons for rolling over and stuff.0 -
Well, it's an angler style yak so it's not made to roll over. I don't know how to insert a pic on this board but here's a link:Ahhhh.
