maiden voyage - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

easyday · 04-03-2014, 10:12 AM

Took the new yak out today, The T160 is a fast kayak paddles with ease and tracks so well. No fish to report but had a great morning on the water. I cant wait to get this thing down to LJ and get my first yellow on board.

Sweet new ride. I assume the water is still in the 50's, thus no fish?

Nice dude. How stable does it feel compared to your x-factor?

Raskal311 · 04-03-2014, 03:41 PM

That thing looks freaking fast.

I Launch there all the time. The next time I hit Newport I'll hit you up! I'll be paddling a big fat XFactor.

Not as stable, but its stable enough and I was willing to sacrifice the stability for speed.

Congrats I hope it's what you wanted. I know you loved your X Factor when I fished with you. You sure had to wait a long time for delivery. Hope you bloody the deck next trip. Tight Lines Josh. Mark

Yea I loved the x factor and all the storage and weight capacity, but it was time to get something faster and its helping cut back on the amount of crap I take out with me. Im going to Irvine lake today with a buddy so it will be interesting when my kayak is 2 feet longer than the skiffs.

Congrats on the new ride!

That looks like a fishin' machine! (Not to mention faster than an SR-71)

Hope you bloody the decks soon!
Still trying to get out in the salt myself with my outback.
Hope to see you out there this summer!
