I was going to spend a good chunk of money this spring for some new rods, reels, and tackle, and a cheap kayak. But then I stumbled upon a great deal on a barely used Jackson Cuda 12. The price was so good I almost couldn't believe it! So I called the guy up and met up with him. Instantly fell in love with the thing when I saw it and once I sat in it I knew I was sold. Purchased it the next day and brought it home!
Anyway, this is my first kayak ever so I am extremely excited. In fact, I've never even sat in/been in a kayak before trying this one out but it just felt so comfortable and right. Also, I think I made a good choice by not skimping out and going with a cheaper (sit-in style) kayak. Came with a lot of stuff that I originally planned to put on the cheaper kayak I was planning to buy anyway like rod holders, ram mounts etc. Hoping to get a fish finder and be on my way to a great season of open water fishing!
p.s. Any ideas on what I should consider adding is welcome. Or if there is anything I'm missing that is critical for kayak fishing.
