Merry Christmas to me! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

yakrider · 12-27-2010, 03:48 PM

Took the plunge...
so there I was...
upside down...blowing bubbles...
laughing my ars off...
that was it...my last paddle of the egg...
the last endo/pearl on the Outback...
me and my Outback have had a great run, but it was time to move on...
after many months of wanting...
the waiting is finally over...I am my own Santa...
I am now the owner of a nice new Revo...

thanks to all who answered my inquiries...
I settled with the most expensive rod holder known to man...
it seemed the most logical solution...
my reasoning was this...
(it holds alot more stuff than my ice chest did!)
what can I say...
the biggest hurdle was having a 2" hole saw punching thru the bottom of my brand new Revo...after the first test drive...not even a micro drop of water in the hull...shoulda done this along time time ago...

can't wait to try it in the waves...(after the poop goes away)

Congrat! That thing is sweet. What make and model is that fish finder?

Nice kayak, you are going to love it. I was also going to ask about your fishfinder.

the fish finder is the Lowrance 522c iGPS...
it's about two + years old or so...
still can't justify a new FF.....yet...

I am planning on buying a Lorance HDS-5 in the near future. Do you know if I can switch out the transducer for a thru the hull without paying additional money?
