Beginning to accessorize the 2012 X-Factor - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dbarnett66 · 11-24-2012, 09:59 PM

I am slowly selling off some of my woodworking gear to accessorize the blem 2012 X Factor that I bought a couple of weeks ago at OEX Mission Bay. I was hoping to sell stuff in time to take advantage of the latest sale, but I may have to wait a few days and pay full price.

With that being said, I am itching to get this yak on the water.

A couple of questions first.

Anyone in the plastic navy using the Gone Fishin Kayak seats? I want a nice padded and functional seat with storage and this seems to fit the bill. I am torn between the GTS Expedition and the Gone Fishin Kayak Seat. It seems like I might be able to ditch the milk crate if I get the Gone fishin Seat.

Anyone using the The Fisherman PFD from Stohlquist? Again, I am torn between this seat and the Kokatat Bahia Tour Fishing Life Vest. I am a larger guy and I know that the Kokatat vest would fit me. Just not sure about the Stohlquist.

Here is what I have decided so far.

I am going to purchase the Lowrance Mark-4 Sonar/GPS Combo from OEX and let them install the device since I don't want to intentionally put holes in my Yak.

I am also going to pay OEX to convert the new battery storage compartment to a live bait tank.

Ordered a full sized white milk crate in white to match the yak.

Going to buy Aqua Bound Sting Ray Fiberglass at OEX.

Beside the nick/nack stuff, do you have any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance.
