I couldn't resist

I just got one a week ago. It is a tremendous amount of fun and also a tremendous amount of paddling

Fishfinder showed up today and I hope to use it tonight.

so far I have taken 5 fish with in two outings. All keepers over 30". It is a little hairball being out in the heavier stuff. Not anything I am interested in conquering.

I have a 7' light spin and a bomber 7' Star rod for the bait. The Star rod is a bit cheesy but it's got a good backbone and is short. If I am going to a place where I plan to beach it and walk some areas I might bring an 8'6" two piece which I'll stow.

Beleive it or not I have actually had more fish of the beach in the past week than the Gayak.
