Proud new owner tarpon 140

[Yakity - Yak - u.k.]

I hope Johnson Outdoors are footing the bill for the garage extension Marvin,...... your gonna need a bigger house

Of course, if you bought a Dorado it already has 3 anchor hauls built in as standard, and a crate, and 2 flush mounts with rod leash attachemnt eyes beside them, and the huge fishbox right between your legs - and it will paddle out through huge waves/surf. AND it is phenomenally stable - you have to really try to get it to turn over, then it is very easy and quick to right and climb back aboard.

Trouble is, it is only a couple of hundred £ more than the Tarpon. Give you a race!

 

 

I see your point to some extent, but as I am new to kayak fishing and never even seen a dorado let alone paddled one I thought I would give the pony a go first rather than the stallion. Besides after trying out the Tarpon I felt instantly at home in it and happy that I chose it for my first yak.

 

Who knows maybe after a season or three I might consider geting a dorado and take you up on that race ;-)

Yakity,

 

The wife is already looking .... seriously

 

Kayaks are like shoes, you can never have enough, they all have a purpose and they'll all have their day's fishing.

 

I'm sure that John Legg has one more kayak than me looking at his garage photo on the NEWales forum.

Hey GB, if you or Artful organise a get together down that way maybe I could bring it for you to have a try in it - you'll get a wet arse as YY points out, but I haven't been bothered by it. I get wet in anything - so does Nifty!!!

 

The fishbox YY is on about isn't for the Porgies - but for the enormous PLAICE that I am going to catch this year! I could bring a live Porgie home in it for the pond i suppose........

Hi Simon.

 

Realy hope you get your big Plaice this season.

Just how big is that pond of yours ?

Now then Simon if it's Porgies your after then I can put you onto some down here, Mind you dont expect me to be on my yak when you try to catch one.

 

I will be having a go for them this year from the boat, I will let you know when they have arrived.
