My boat is a pontoon so I can't compare to fishing from a bass boat. I like the pro angler. Is it the 12 foot? Or the 17? I like the 12 but I like my feel free moken 12.5. But any yack that's fishable is a good thing to have around. Quote

Not sure if I enjoy it more than being on a bass boat (hard to be running top speed down lake early in the morning), but the challenge and workout was nothing short of incredible. Also caught my first smallmouth as a result of the trip (picture attached). I haven't been able to stop looking into getting a kayak of my own since the experience. Who knows ... maybe I will sway more towards the yak; only time will tell. Witch kayak is that? Quote

Now that kayak fishing is getting more popular ( I used to get a lot of strange looks ) I have a little company on the water. I like the tournaments and group outings in my area also. I still enjoy fishing out of my friends bass boats don't get me wrong. Yup. I do all of bass tornaments around my area as well. Lots of fun. I have meet a lot of great people from kayak fishing. 1 Quote
boostr Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Cause it was cheaper than a boat, and I wanted to get off the bank. I will get boat in the next couple of years so me and my son can fish together. I do love yak fishing though. Quote
Bass avoid me Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 I have both, I use my kayak 10x as much as my boat. BOATs are maintenance warriors while my yak just needs a spray with the washer or hose when done. I can also get into really really tight places with that yak, some places I would be scared to wade in because of the depth of the mud and debris. I had a sun dolphin 10' sit in yak that I made into a nice little fishing rig, but I sold it to my son in law and have been looking at the ascend 128fst or what ever the model number is. If I could find another yak in that price range that has a seat and room like the Ascend I would be interested in looking at it. If anyone can help me find one with a max price less than 1000 with paddle, I would greatly appreciate the help. I am looking for a sit on this time, I dumped mine in some cold water year before last and I still get cold spells thinking about it. 1 Quote

You have to have cash in hand because they don't last long. I bought mine last year (Ocean Kayak Ocean Prowler II). Sells new for 1,300 with nothing, I bought mine lightly used with a nice Carlise paddle for $450. I was fortunate that the guy was willing to wait until the weekend for me to come get it, otherwise it would have been gone before I could get there for sure. 2 Quote

WI_Angler1989 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I only have a canoe. Don't get me wrong, its a nice canoe, Old Town Osprey. It's just not the same. It doesn't customize well like a yak, is hard to store gear efficiently, and catches wind badly. That all makes it kind of lame for fishing, alone especially. I really wish I had a kayak instead but can't afford one. Oh well, such is life. 1 Quote

I disagree, I like the kayaks but a canoe can certainly be outfitted for fishing and offer a lot more space and stability. I wouldn't trade my canoe for a kayak. Quote
