HI Rob and welcome to the forum, My neighbour has a Stealthdrive, but he is badly disabled and very old so he can't get out ( in small stillwaters only ) unless he has it with 2 spare batteries. His best friend is much younger and fitter and can tow him back if he runs out of power. Rob only get one if you are very unfit or don't like catching bass of 16lbs or less

I fancy targeting big haddock this year off my kayak can anyone advise on which bait etc and any specialist tackle needed any help would be great

I haven't got a roof rack, or a p13, or a car for that matter but great report RobM well done

Just superglue a real chum mixer to the back of a small hook and you off (not for the purist)

I know the Tesco folding crate fits the rear tank well of the prowler 13 but can anyone tell me of a tackle/storage box to fit the smaller part just behind the seat yours Richard

Not seen it myself, or ever will do as I don't even have a kayak, or going fishing but somebody on this forum will know

Does the garfish also help to retain the tackle box or is it a extra?

Get the 1060 here for £19.51 http://www.divingshop.com/Shop/ShopProduct...75&PageNo=4

Thanks for the pics and advise, also great place to mount your compass yours Richard

apart from the plano 3540 tackle box supplied what other tackle boxes fit the prowlers recess? Any ideas Richard

Also got a folding crate from Meyer's hardware, mine was even cheaper

Colin is right pike don't fight that hard that you need a pricey saltwater reel with a smooth drag but the rod needs to be able to cast a big wet fly. I use bunny bugs that when wet can weigh 2oz, so I cast with a 10# fly rod yours Richard

I always use 30 lbs mason hard nylon for all my pike fly traces. Never been biten off and it does not tangle up or kink like wire. Rio also make a hard nylon which is as good Hope this helps Richard

I also have a PROWLER 13 and fly fish for pike and saltwater fish, best around kayak very stable and fast. mount a scotty fly rod holder on the front and your off

X-line in 15lb the only choice

I bought a P13 about a week back after looking at many other makes and models of kayak, by far the best choice Richard

Might go for both and put a bag inside the crate so I can remove it for shorter trips Thanks for the advice

Can anyone tell me if I can get a hatch to fit the back round section behind the tank well on a prowler 13? Thanks Richard

Just been to look at a X-factor, very big kayak, get a prowler in ocean colour if you can or even better in sunrise............

Just got my new P13 and need a crate to fit the rear tank well. Any ideas? Thanks Rich

Just been on the Malibu web site, looks so good I just ordered one myself. I am 6ft 4 and 14stone, as you are only very short and just 12stone????? have you considered the yak board See you in the morning

Get yourself one of these http://www.surf.uk.com/acatalog/keypod.html and leave the keys with the car

Just been to look at the Perception Caster and the prowler 13 and the prowler wins by a mile ,more storage, better finish, better hull shape and not many areas to put deck mounts on the Perception Caster. Also the Perception Caster is a lot more cash. I am 6ft 4 and the prowler has loads of room for me hope this helps a little Richard

When buying a prowler 13 how do you tell the difference between an old one and the new model ?

Thanks for all the advise and kind offers of help, looks like the prowler 13 is the one and after looking at a lot of the other post it seems about the best for me thanks Richard
