    Default Christened the new fishing kayak today...

    Went out for a test paddle this evening and to drown some worms. All I can say is, I'll probably be out on the res tomorrow morning before work.

    It was a blast, this is my first kayak, an Ascend FS10 and I am pretty much hooked. Paddled around a bit to get a feel for it then wet the line. Only 3 small rainbows that lived to see another day. But it was a great evening on the water. Anyone else fish from a kayak?

    Never from a kayak, but I have used a personal pontoon boat and a float tube one time. Never again on the float tube though, wind came up at Spinney and blew me across the res. I’m not a small guy and was wore out by the time I had to kick back to the Jeep.

    That's cool. After I sold my 08 Harley a couple of weeks ago I really contemplated buying a used pontoon boat. I've always wanted one. I know it's not the same or as personal as a kayak but I'd still like one.

    Then I came to my senses and bought a new Harley.

    Congrats on the newfound hobby.

    So... what you need is for Harley to start making pontoon boats.

    This sounds extremely fun. With the size of the lakes here, I think a Kayak or a canoe would be extremely fun, and way easier to store, maintain, etc, than a boat.

    Yep, I agree. I also like the idea of the solitude of floating around in a kayak on a quiet summer evening.

    I picked up an old Wave Sport kayak that will be a fly fishing boat, when it's done. Fun stuff.

    Been thinking about buying one and fishing from it!
    Do you need to register it?
    License it?
    Restrictions on where you can use it?
    Thanks for info!
