Ok heres my 1st fishing kayak did this one on the cheap just to try it out really loved it so I've purchased my second yak but here it is bit different to most kayaks on here i like it, just not ideal for offshore or in the bay it started out as a lie down duck shooting kayak I've added a seat and a few other things ill see in the photos.

How in hell do you lie down in that for duck hunting? You should check out punting in The Wash in the UK.

Btw impressive pimping on a small ride. All the best!

Well i Don't lie down in it my brother has, he said pretty good he was invisible to ducks but some shots were difficult. Nice and stable just not ideal for long paddles my brother has the same brand but a two seater version its very different to anything on here ill post some pics he has mounted a minkota i pilot mounted on the bow with the remote control makes mine look pretty cheap and nasty.

Got it. Thought you were on your belly like the punters. :?

I'm not really a hunter, but have to say that looks like utter fun!

That's one freaky looking yak! I don't think the fish will notice though.
