The only thing better than Ono is 2 Ono.

These speed demons are such a fun, although short, fight.

Good deal on used Old Town?

Ive been racking my brain trying to find the best deal on a quality pedal driven kayak so I can get more serious about my fishing. Found this on marketplace for 1500, I’ve been in old town canoes but would love some input! Also, would love some tried and true recommendations for roof racks, I’ll be strapping it to my 07 rav4, I’ve heard the Malone sea wing V style racks are good for loading and unloading heavier kayaks. Thanks!

lake kayak fishing - ever capsize? gear all lost? what happened?

I'm planning to kayak fish in a lake and needed to ask:

(i) if you ever capsized, what caused it?

(ii) does this happen often or almost never?

(iii) did you lose all your gear as it fell to the bottom of the lake?

(iv) what clothes do you wear when kayaking? does it have to be swim wear or do you plan on staying dry?

trying to prepare. thanks!

First catch on the kayak.

Caught two this morning. One large mouth and one small mouth. Small mouth was on a wacky worm and the large mouth was on a whopper plopper

Guadalupe bass, largemouth, and a chunky bluegill, all 15 minutes from downtown Austin

Put in on the Colorado River just downstream of Austin and had one of those sessions where everything came together. Guadalupe bass, a solid largemouth, and a chunky bluegill, three different species, all within a short paddle of downtown.

That's honestly the part that gets me. A city of almost a million people, and you can be off the water and back home in less time than it takes to sit through Austin traffic on I-35. Not many cities this size have a river running through the middle of them that still fishes like this.

Access like this doesn't happen by accident though. It takes public put-ins, easements, and people actually showing up and using the water so it stays worth fighting for. If you've got a river running through your city, use it. That's usually what keeps it protected.

Just getting started

Took up fishing a few weeks back when my 4-year-old daughter decided it was something she wanted to try and we have fallen in love with the sport. Found a local kayak rental kiosk near me yesterday and had the most fun I’ve had in my adult life for as long as I can remember. Any suggestions on the best kayaks for beginners?

Alternatively, anyone on here in the NKY/Cincinnati/Indianapolis area have any used kayaks for sale they trust and want to part ways with? Probably would need something with a 300lb capacity or higher!

Kayak storing

I have a Nucanoe U10 I bought about a month ago and looking for the cheapest way to store it safely. I’ve had it sitting on my kayak cart with the bow on the floor on a foam pad but after some research realized it’s probably not the best idea. Moved it like this tonight it’s leaning against an old couch. Not interested in wall mounting. Seen these little stands but don’t know if it’d be a good idea.
