Hey y'all Ihave a Malibu pro explorer and am new to the yakworld and am flustered on what I need to do as in putting in a fish finder or making a bait tank I just don't know what to do first

Heres the bait tank http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ight=bait+tank
And theres lots of types of fishfinder mounts but the best is a wet mount like this

Theres other ways if you search it up.

If you have a Lowrance unit OEX has the scupper transducer which is what I'm having Andy @ SSB mount on my new HOBIE. The temp reading should be more accurate than the through the hull wet mount.

Beware of anyone that has anything to do with lollipops.

what did you pick up? the new pro angler ? :luxhello: . how much does the transducer cost?

my backside of my yak is tiny
 

i cant fit one of those bait tanks in my yak cause it is to small i will post some pixs of my yak and will show you what im dealing wit i was thinking just a bucket bait tank and i fish la jolla kelp beds

use your 12v battery for your fish finder and a bucket bait tank rather than the 6v battery on the tank. where are you located? I'm in vista and I can give you some help if you want

go Amish. buy the french drain tubing 2.5 ft long section. Drill more holes. cap each end w/ green drain screens. Catch bait. Put bait in the tube. Toss the tube in the water. what else do you need?

No batteries to charge or space constraints.

I live in el cajon its a project yak for sure

I have a project yak as well the guy that has it before me sprat painted the thing an ugly green. I had to cut mt own holes to install hatches. Basically had to build this one from the ground up i know how you feel.

I saw your kayak... You should call it YAKENSTEIN!!! It's awesome... No need to rinse the fish blood off of that one. :D
