The other two I have are like this one... A minnow....... Not as stable......

Looking at the link you provided it brought up a question on the sit on top kayaks. I have seen them around I was curious as to actual users thoughts on them ?

Eh, it seems to be a "just do it" thing, just get one and go, that damn money thing ...

Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.

I guess he does this all the time, cause as I was breaking every speed paddeling record getting out of there, I heard his wife screaming at him in Russian.



I was amazed at the ability to paddle through 8-12 inches of water with that kayak. I can't imagine getting towed around by that salmon.
Geez, cant see a reason to get upset with a kayaker, a canoer or rowboat for that matter. Now the damn motor boats and jet skis are a different matter, especially on small, narrow lakes. This one guy had his canoe cut in half by a jet ski, he was a jerk and probably deserved it.

I tend to find the most remote, isolated region to fish or just have fun, so when I am intruded upon by some motorboat with wake I get grumpy. In the old days boaters would slow down say "hey hows the fishin" and go on....

....I think it is like a parking lot, I park away from other cars, when I come back it seems that a group of people have parked right next to me. I have an island of cars around mine.

People just do not get it, I associate with those I choose to associate with, not with those who impose themselves on me. I try not to impose myself either - that "do unto others" thing....

They are nice but are top heavy.......... You can tip very easy. They are designed w/ getting wet in mind.........

Moving in currents they are not very good.. If you get one of the big bulky ones that helps some.....

Also if you are going out when it is cold you need a wet suit as you will get wet............ & to much sun on your legs can be an issue to......
