Eric G gave some details about his kayak for ID purposes in an other topic and I thoght it would be an interesting topic in itself. I will get the ball rolling. I fish from a sand-colored Tarpon 140 with a black milk crate in the back. I have a yellow PFD and I have TBB stickers on both sides of my kayak. I usually fish in the Strathmere / CISP area but will travel some. Lately I have been fishing with Fly Fish down in Stone Harbor. I do not have electronics on my kayak yet. I anyone sees me please say Hi. Tom.

 

[akozols]

My yak is a yellow OC Caper. I usually have a green tackle bag strapped in the back. I wear a red life vest and will be fishing the CISP or 9th st causeway. Say hi,

Al

I haven't been out on my yak in awhile but I think I'm going to dust it off next weekend and get out. Green Pungo with Red Life Jacket. OC area mostly.

 

[Eric G]

Eric G has a green WS Pungo, blue milkcrate on back & white rod holders w/ Hummingbird DF in front of cockpit, orange paddle blades. VHF equipped, scanning usually w/ watch on 72. Yellow lifevest, flare pistol for "nightime emergencies" (from another post).

Usually NW area, launching usually from 17th streetend, but do the Avalon/SH bays once in a while around 55th Street ramp/Long Reach channel & Paddys hole.

BTW - Sunset Bay Bar welcome yakkers. Shirt & shoes required. Nice "watering hole."

Eric, how did you mount the transducer on the pungo. Through hull?

 

[Brian E. Mullaney]

White Ocean Kayak Scrambler XT -

you can't miss it - it has RESCUE in big red letters on both sides as it was once a lifeguard rescue craft.

 

[Eric G]

Yes, behind the seat, transducer is glued down with 3M 5200 sealant. It's the only "goo" I found that wont release with the polyprolene plastic of the hull, heat expansion, banging the yak around, etc. It's just left of the centerline/keel. I have the bracket of the tranducer also screwed to the bottom half of seat. The only thing I didn't use is the suction cup from my Pirahana Portable model.

When affixxing the transducer, make sure you get all the air bubbles out by swirling the transducer around in the "bubble" of sealant before it gets hard. I have air bubbles the first time and i drove me crazy firguring it out. By using 5200 sealant, it's permanent so make sure you do it right and it's where you want it.

Test different areas with the transducer with vaseline as the "bubble of goo" so you find the right area.

For you Old Town yakers, guess what, the hull has foam sandwiched between (like a Boston Whaler). Your out of luck and need outside the hull mount. Found that one out the hard way.

 

[Eric G]

Barrel, you launching off the Ed Klienger pier??

I just buy a new battery at Walmart each year. The biggest that will fit in my battery box and most cranking amps.

Hey Barrel; since you are naked, what have you been "trolling" with? Maybe this can explain why the cows aren't around! LOL.

 

[egghead]

My Yak is a yellow with black stripe 12' Walden Sports Scout model. It is a sit-in design with a storage space on the back with a black cover. By the end of the summer I intend to have it painted camo.

No add-ons yet. I'm still getting a feel for where I want to put stuff before I drill.

I launch mostly out of SP and CISP.

[Fly fish]

I fish Stone Harbor, but travel when the fish are elsewhere.
99% back bay until fall when I take it out front for the biggies!!!

 

[Yakass]

I'm trolling in a lime green O. K. malibu two from CISP to points south. Daybreak most likely out front in WWC and in darkness CISP area.

Fly Fish; I'd recognize your kayak now. I will be hitting CISP with you and the infamous Yakass.

 

[kayakjim]
