Perfect hunting kayak

Just took two seats out of my Saranac and installed ash thwarts with an ash brace down to the keel. Lighter, Way more room.

Big mistake, I took the kayak to the lake and let my wife try it. Now I'm in the market for a second fishing kayak. OMG she is getting expensive in her old(er) age!!!!!!View attachment 12078

Might cost you more in short term - but a family that plays together stays together - much cheaper in the long term (ask me I know)

Paddlin' womens is the best kinda womens. My wife loves being out on the water, and has overnighted in some conditions a lot of manly men would find offputting.
 
I’m dragging my wife kicking and screaming into the outdoors. I have no problem getting her involved in the mountains, but this hot, humid, bug infested north Texas is beyond her comfort zone.

I picked up a 14' sportspal recently for a piece of public with decent river access. Got it out the other day to check out access and put up some trail cams. Gotta say I'm really digging it for low impact out of the way entry, and plenty of room for hauling out deer.

Picking up one of those is a lot of work, I got rid of mine because they're so heavy

They're definetly on the lighter side of canoes. At #60 its a pretty good compromise for capacity and stability. The width of it makes moving it difficult moreso than the weight. Some of these plastic and aluminum canoes 14-15' are #80-90. I tried a 10' solo canoe at #40 and the stability was awful. I'm super happy with the canoe at this time!

Ah, I didn't have to compare to, but I couldn't get it car topped solo. Never tried any other

Not trying to hi jack but.. anyone tried poling a canoe or kayak.. seems to be a learning curve but maybe better than sloshing sound in waders or hip boots

When I flats fished in mine I made a stake out pole about 8 foot long. It worked great for poling in shallow water. Canoe paddles are stiff enough to push off with and I often used them on really small creeks.
