Malibu Stealth 12 $900 (off the market) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

like I said earlier, I think I will get less water in the kayak the second time around. When I do get the time and money to get my fishfinder and baittank up and running again...I will experiment alot more. Like taking out the bottom baittank plug, take out the plug in the seat scuppers, and turn the adjustment valve way down. I also read that you shouldn't run these bait tanks unless your using a timer...so once I recycle more cans at my job and can afford these extras I will look into buying them along with some marine goop and work on the seals of the hatches the best I can.

also noticed since I weigh 210 lbs. and had more weight towards the back. The front gator hatch was empty, that I need to balance the weight of the kayak more. That also caused some of the problems, as the baitank drains forward and may have not been as effective because of the uneven backloaded kayak and my weigh as well.
