Kayaking on Truman in Missouri

[G.Gordon]

Check out the Missouri state forum. "Good day off W... ". Been limiting out daily from my BassPro Ascend D10. Can't wait to upgrade to a Jackson Coosa Elite next summer.

I want a Coosa also. I think they are the best river boat out there. I don't think I would trade it for my Hobie Outback for lake fishing, which is what I do mostly, but I would like to have one for taking down the local rivers.

I may need to rethink it then. I do mostly lake fishing. We have a bunch of conservation lands up here that have 50-100 acre lakes. There is a Hobie dealer six miles from me.

kc, you need to try out one on a lake. It really depends on what style of fishing you going to do. I love to crappie fish so suspending over a top in the wind and jigging the top you can't beat an outback. I can turn that thing into the wind and slowly pedal that thing and just stay over the top. I have a Ride 135 that I love also, but I have to use an anchor if I want to stay over a top. I have not used my Ride in a year since buying the Outback. If I wanted to go kayaking with some friends and I wasn't fishing I would want to take my RIDE.

Thanks for the pointers. Will try em both before I pull the trigger.

The soon to be released Jackson Cuda would be better suited for lake fishing than the Coosa, but keeps the high seat etc.
