Ohio,

Where were you before I wasted 4 years of tuition and thousands on tools and supplies. I should have just bought a canoe, and would be the next Wendell Castle instead drawing lines on a computer all day long...

This is the kayak i use for fishing Freedom Hawk 12 the pontoons come into the sides and you have a reg. kayak, great for standing and fishing. Great storage in kayak and pontoons. Pontoons come off for easy transport on roof or in truck bed.
 
 

You almost got me RIZ, but once again someone is confused on this forum. I am condescending, not "condensinding". Much like learning to paddle, your focus wandered astray during fourth grade spelling class. Although I am a demanding teacher, I am also a benevolent one. In the future I promise to keep my posts under five lines so that your bowling ball sharp intellect doesn't fatigue under the stress. In the meantime, why don't you try sticking to one and two syllable words.

wow now thats funny buy a yak and fish or buy a canoe and fish either way just fish and really who cares ur the only one who in the end will decide what u like and whats better everyone is so tuff on the internet its awesome

I've decided to try some of your posting tactics ImanOhioBoy

I'm a little confused about where and how long your canoe trips where. Anyone who has paddled in a boat more than two miles can quickly pick up the pry, not to mention the j-stroke, and northwoods stroke to name a few. None of these strokes involve switching sides until your arms get tired (some of us faster than others). Needless to say, your tripping experience is suspect!

Its a kayak post, not an Iron Butterfly acid concert.. The term is dripping, not tripping. NTM I've paddled way further than 2 miles in both a canoe and a kayak, have no idea what a pry, j-stroke, and a northwoods is, and don't give a rats azz because its a no brainer that a kayak paddle doesn't involve switching from one side to the other thus no DRIPS in the boat. I could be tripping and still figure that one out...

In reference to the Cowboy's comments about standing and casting I must say I agree. I don't understand how anyone who has held a cane pole for more than five minutes thinks they can be just as effective at covering, and more importantly reading, the water from a sitting potion at water level. Even from a sitting position you are much better off from a canoe.

If you are sitting in a canoe or sitting in a kayak, wtf is the difference? How can a canoe be "much better" than a kayak? In my experience reading water from my SOT Tarpon is much easier than any canoe I've ever been in from a sitting position. If you've been in a canoe that is somehow "much better" than a SOT kayak I'd like to know the make and model.


Bublegum man, you are stretching here my friend. That buble is going to pop, and you are going to have gum stuck in your hair.

An absolutely horrible analogy, and its spelled Bubblegum with 2 b's....bubble is also spelled with 2 b's....apparently two syllable words are a problem for you as well. Feel free to pick over my posts and reply as you will to reveal yourself as the feminine hygiene bag that you are......

water tight storage space (find that on a canoe),

Its called a dry bag or a Pelican case. I have several of both. They come in all sizes and beat the he11 out of a cofee can-sized hole with a little rubber top that is marginally water tight.

Um..yes...and those aren't canoe specific, they can be used on kayaks as well so I can't see the validity of that statement. The locking hatches on my tarpon are pretty **** water tight, and I can guarantee that anything inside the hatches isn't going to float away or sink in the event of a capsize. Dry bags on a canoe have to be strapped down, and if you do turtle it, you aren't just flipping the boat back over and continuing on your way. Seriously Cowboy different strokes for different folks, you like your canoe, if I had the choice to float in one or the other I'd take the yak. The ONLY reason I posted here was due to Ohio's argumentative nit picking over grammar and spelling to attack somebody else. His 3 posts have been BS and so I posted my opinion, and then just tried to give him a little of his own medicine, in defense of Bubblegum who was just offering advice to pwk who specifically started the thread asking about kayaks....no mention of wanting a canoe in the first place.
