That'll be a boat then.

Just bought one like this for £30 instead.

 

Worth the risk I reckon.

 

 

I need a spay deck now though.

Nothing wrong with a Sit In Side (SINK) just don't keep your bait inside the kayak.

 

Seriously you can kit out with rod holders etc just like us with our SOT's just takes a little more thinking about before taking a drill to fibreglass, Ziggy who pops in every now and then has a SINK so your not alone.

 

It looks a little like a polo canoe to me which tend to be used in swimming pools, so I would take it easy if your looking to go to sea in it.

I'll be using lures and spnners so 'bait' will be ok.

 

I have just moved in to a new place that's about 200 yards from the river/canal and I won't be using it on the salty stuff.

 

 

I only want to use to access hard to fish places plus I won't lose so many spinners while trying to get under bushes.

£30 - looks like a bargain.. at that price you may be less reluctant to drill holes in your yak when rigging it out for fishing It could be well suited for still water fishing.

Polo, hum, does that mean it has a hole in the middle?

[geffaz]

concept of a sit in freaks me out abit! apart from being a bit clostrophobic they just look like a death trap!

i am a big clumbsy mofo tho!

Ferret,

 

If your fishing the canal, maybe worth forgetting the skirt until you have a few paddling skills under your belt, that way if you do take a tumble you can easily get out. Wait for some warmer weather to use the skirt and practice your escape routine with a friend in the water, the first time you roll it can be tricky remembering how to get out.

 

Enjoy your fishing, don't forget you'll need a licence for the canoe.
