Nucanoe Frontier 12 fishing kayak

Saw Wayneo ask me about getting a kayak didn't ya.... didn't ya? lol


I can just see me standing up in a yak and casting. What a hoot that would be!! 😆

That is a good looking kayak and casting while standing probably would be ok but should I get a hit, I'd be so excited and my hook set so violent, I'd go asz over tin cups, off the stern. Which again would be OK except one of yinz would sure as hell, be in the area, with your GoPro running. But then again, I could be the next Youtube sensation.

Would this be your kayak Gene? It does look like it would be very stable and comfortable.

I wouldn't think the kayak would be much heavier than some canoes and it would be much easier for one person to handle on the water.  I'm just not sure a kayak will be my cup of tea as far as getting in and out with the emphasis on..... getting out.  Problem is I don't want to invest a chunk of change into a quality kayak and not want to keep it but like anything else, the cheaper the item the more likely the disappointment.  
 
I enjoyed fishing from canoes on the river and creeks around the Franklin area in years past and I would enjoy doing so again in the future just this time around, there won't be the old crew to man the boats.
 
 
Fishing with a crossbow sounds like a good time, any recommendations on the equipment, draw weight etc?

I've fished,  ummm.... shot at fish, using a "Bear" youth compound and have to admit it was good times.   Heck I still have my GoBEE remote bow spot light, which is the same light that got my stupid asz in trouble on Pymie. 
 
I have the PSE Fang but maybe, too much draw weight for perforating fish, with a fiberglass stick???

I do have a Bear compound 45 lb draw I could rig with a new reel and seat. What's your take on the Cajun kit that includes the Zebco 808 spincast bowfishing reel?

Opticsplanet offers the best price I've found thus far.

Don't know if the stupid link will work but the sucker is long enough. lol

DPMS - toss that thing on stripersonline and would likely get some interest. It is kayak season in NJ/DE/MD. Might get someone willing to travel out this way or have family out here. Great looking yak.

BeenThereDoneThat. 
I'm not familiar with the retrieval system so I am eager to hear the drawbacks (no pun intended) like the string tangling in the bottle.  I see the AMS arrows are equipped with a 'safety slide' I assume breaks away upon release and the 200# string, decides it doesn't want to get wet and, stays in the bottle?

I used used the AMS bottle retriever on everything from 100 stingrays in the ocean to 10 pound carp. Never had the string jam up in the bottle. That was one of my concerns but no worries. The safety slide on vertical bows slides up the shaft when you draw the bow so you don't have to worry about the string getting tangled around your rest or reel. That would be ugly. It is best to slide the safety slide towards the tip prior to drawing you bow anyways. 

This is still available just in time for the 2019 fishing season. Reduced to $1200.

I would really like to sell this fishing kayak............ It is perfect for the backwaters of Erie and even the main bay because it is so stable.
