    Default Show us your RIGS ...


    THIS CONTEST HAS BEEN OVER FOR YEARS, WE'VE CHOSEN TO LEAVE IT OPEN SO THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO POST YOUR RIGS.

    OK, I'm starting another photo contest. I've seen some nice Kayak rigs in another thread, but I'd like to see more. And it's not limited to Kayaks. It can be a Canoe, Kayak, or any Paddle Powered Crappie fishing machine. C'mon lets see it. Post your entries here in this thread. The contest ends in one month, 5/13/2011.

    The winner will be chosen by my family members. So the new mods can even participate. My family will base their decision on anything they want. Great rig, great photo, anything, so this will be semi random. But at least it'll be fun, it'll be a cool way to kick off this new forum and I'll get to give away some great prizes.

    The winner will get this real cool prize pack from Larew; Bobby Garland goodies in a Plano case. Really great stuff, I've checked them out. I'll try to add details of the prize pack a little later, but it has a retail value of more than $175, and will be a fine addition to any paddle powered crappie fishing machine. Let the games begin.



    Standard disclaimer about the contest. Rules can change at any time, and contest can be ended at any time. Crappie.com is not responsible if you hurt yourself while participating in this contest. Do not fall off your boat while snapping your pictures.

    Here's my Revo. I'm getting ready to hit the Hudson River for the Spring striper run. I use the same setup for freshwater, only with different poles.




    And a rare day on the Hudson with no wind, no waves, and no fish (too common there):


    My Fish finder is a Humminbird 788ci HD Combo powered by a 12V7A battery below deck in the front hatch. It is held on with a RAM mount, as are the 'rocket launcher' tube style rod holders. I mounted the FF this way to allow more sensitivity to the transducer, and an accurate temperature reading.

    I like to have my poles in front so I can see them while trolling or drifting. Not pictured here is the camera mount that goes into the sail mast hole, and the night marker light that is mounted in the black rubber grommet on the rear deck.

    Both rod holders have reflective tape wrapped around them as does the yak around the deck for visibility in low light situations. Wrapped around the right rod holder is a foam pool noodle to hold lures and hooks to dry off before they get put away. Most tackle is stored below deck in the center hatch.

    There are anchor trolleys on both sides of the yak for the anchor or drift chute.

    Everything is leashed to prevent loss through capsizing or butter fingers. The Hudson is a major shipping route, so there are some large ships that create some large wakes that can be fun in a yak.

    I added the noodles to the side, and this thing would not tip over for nothing. You could get into the canoe from it's side very easy. You could stand in it as well.

    And no, I'm not entering the contest, just wanted to show off a few pics, and let everyone know I'm into paddle power too.

    Okay, not the greatest picture, but wanted to share. Here's me in my canoe with a big slab I caught last March while bass fishing a small stream with a friend. It was cold and rainy, but this fish made it worth it!

    Nice rigs everyone. Some pretty high tech kayak stuff out there these days.
    It is not about the equipment you have to use,
    It is about how you use the equipment you have. :D
