aren't you a member of this forum for a reason? to find others who want to do the same thing as yourself to fish from a kayak? i have friends who like to fish, but don't have kayaks. i always encourage them to buy one so that we can go out together; they haven't bought one.

and who gets to clean up after them? do they help or do they just say thanks for the trip and go home? when i get back i am pretty beat and not feeling like cleaning up one, let alone two.

like they say, the thought is what counts; so nice thought, but use your money on something else.

He has a good point.

I have an extra yak that I have offered up for my friends to use to go hooping so many times and it has never happened. They are always so into it, and then they never go. It is a tandem that I got for the wife and I years ago, and then when my buddy showed me I could fish and hoop off of a kayak. Then after fishing that for a while I am on my third different kayak.

I hear that. What you could do is buy a different yak from what you have, rig it up different and see if you like it. Then sell the one you like least. Sounds like a good time to me!

This was my original plan. Sell my tandem and get the 15ft Extreme, but right after i sold it Andy said no Extremes this sale.

So... (i am fighting myself)

Hence the whole post

if your freind wants to fish that bad, but lives in an apartment, make him buy his own yak, you keep it at your house, you other freind can use his yak, everybody wins, and the wife can't give you crap for buying two!

Yakrider....I like the way you think! Win-Win!

I confess I voted yes, but my view may be a bit skewed

I not only had one but two extra kayaks for friends and relatives. I think in the past 3 years they were only used twice. Big waste of money. And now look at me, I don't have shit! But its only a temporary state. I'll be picking my new Torque upon when I get back state side (2 weeks Rik).

I really wish I had all the cash I dumped into rigging up my spare kayaks. I could have had a supercharged, nitro injected evolve on my Revo!

You'll make enough new friends out there with their own kayaks and they will be close friends who you will have some great memories & drinking stories to share....you don't need to worry about those that don't!
