Anyone using inflatable Kayaks (duckies)?
New here from WV....
I was wondering if there is anyone here that fishes from duckies? I'm not talking about the "pool-toy" inflatables you'll see from coleman and such, but outfitter quality inflatable that are REALLY hard to puncture....mine is a SeaEagle 380x.
I got mine initially to run the beautiful whitewater we have here in the mountain state along with camping.....but now I have the 'yak fishing bug BAD! They are so versatile I'm surprised I don't see more people in them, but I would like to see how others are riggin' 'em up!
I tell ya, this thing is awesome; two person 750 lb rating, draft of only a couple inches, extremely stable/sturdy, practically unsinkable, packs into a bag (45 lbs), rated for class IV rapids and is as comfortableas a 12.5 foot floating couch.
My only complaints are that it may not track the straightest, may be a little on the slow side on flatwater and the fact that you can't drill a buncha mounts on it.....still it's perfect for my applications and has 100x's more utility (for me) than any canoe or kayak i've had/used.
Ultimately if someone else does this I'd love to see your set up: how you hold your poles, mount fishfinders etc.....for me the answer is soon to be strategically placed velcro and elastic straps on seats and rings.
Good to be here!
