Here's the NEKF site link. It's a great site!

http://www.newenglandkayakfishing.com/

Another great site is www.ultimatekayakfishing.com

Most of the kayakfishermen are from CT, RI and MA. They ar also having their 3rd annual Kayak Fishing Rodeo in June sponsered by King Cove Outfitters with many prizes donated by tackle and kayak manufactures.

Wow. Two great and informative sites. Gome awesome pics with rigging detail on the NE site. OK who has a used SOT for sale? Don, do you have pre-owned models?

Nightfighter. You been bitten bad!!!! They're a great way to be out on the water. You can fish the whole front of you know where...
I'm looking too. If I find any deals. I'll give you a holler:-)

Kayak fishing don't count
 

We are fishing almost every weekend in the summer. I had rigged kayaks at King Cove during both legs of the 4 leg tournament.
Kayak fishing is addicting when you can't cast to the blitz, paddle out and sit in the middle of one. :)

I won't be able to make it to plug fest this year...BUT, count me in on the kayak fishing hookup for this season:cool:

Anyone who would like to try kayak fishing before they buy a kayak, give Don M. a call at King Cove. He's got rental kayaks ready rigged for fishing. :)

thats the evil chucky....with a bluefish expression.:hihi:

Thanks to the links and info posted I have taken the leap. Made a deal with DonM at King Cove for a Tarpon 140 by Wilderness. Water is still damn cold, so will take delivery in May most likely. (Kind of depends how much you guys at the RISSA show beat him up!) I'm very excited and had a very good experience with DonM getting this done. Very knowledgable for the application I was looking for. Made sure I considered the little things I hadn't yet, like was I lefty or righty for rod holder locations. If you are looking, contact him or see him at the show as he apparently has been selling his alloted hulls as quickly as they are scheduled for shipping! Can't wait for that first sleighride! Thanks Don.

Nebe :uhuh:



from a Yak...that was wild.

I bought a Tarpon 140 this time last year and love it. Some guys said I'd take in too much water at 220lbs, but it's fine. Just a heads-up, use Ram balls, not Scotty mounts for your rods. They now sell a square base ram ball mount that will fit in the rectangular slots. They're not cheap, but they do a good job of holding the rods.

You'll also want to get a drift sock right away, before an anchor.

Anyway, the 140 is fast and stable - good choice and good luck.

Also purchased the 140 from king cove, top notch. I second the ram mounts they are far superior to any others. Do yourself a favor and get a rudder, it really helps when fighting large in current.
