Kayaks & Canoes - Let's Fish

[GP_Cobb]

Hey Guys I'm out here in the middle of the olde USA.   Like to hear from ya if you peddle and have electronics.   Or any combinations.   I also paddle my Hunter Pelican.

I peddle in an Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL

Mostly motor, but paddle when I'm cruising through thick slop...mainly lily-pad patches.

I mostly use a motor but paddle through the heavy slop as well. I use a Garmin striker portable that i attach to the back of my 16 foot Asend DC156

I keep mine bare bones to make more room for all the drum (well that and loading/unloading is a lot quicker)

[Goose52]

Well - with all the gadgets that I have on my boat - it does take a whopping 12-13 minutes (timed) to either rig the boat (from car top to shove-off) and about the same to recover (feet-dry to drive-off).  Everything is modular and plugs onto the boat quickly.

 

AND, even with the boat pimped-out, there is still room to move around and to handle fish...

That largemouth could capsize my vessel

The largemouth was a nice one (7.65lb) but the real challenge was the grass carp (38 pounds) - I would have had a REALLY hard time to boat that fish without capsizing if I didn't have the outriggers on my boat !

Same here - even with the trailer. Rods are lashed to the canoe for transport...putting them in their holders, putting on the outriggers, mounting the transponder all takes time...then reversing all that at the end.

Yep - that was a prime consideration when doing the mods.

Any craft can benefit from electronics - and the PA-12 is rigged for it with the Guardian.

A 7" unit mounted to the Forward Accessory Mount should be plenty visible

A 20AH battery in the hatch and you're good for a full day of fishing.
