So, what are you fishing from?
Just picked up a Tarpon 140 over the winter, and she is ready for fish...I just wanted to get an idea of what everyone else is fishing from

Tarpon 140 being delivered tomorrow. Picking up a rigged Heritage 14 Fisherman from Beachwalker when we can arrange to meet. This avenue of fishing has me as excited to fish as I can remember.....

Here's my fleet.
Nice rigging on the T140. Are you going to use the RAM tubes for outriggers or just for rods?

The RAM tubes are just for the T & W, I have a forward rod holder as well for my casting rod.
I just got thru setting up a trolley from the front to the rear of the yak so that i can place my drift sock right where I want it. I shock corded one end and fix on the other. I will snap off some pics, it came out pretty slick... |

Old Town Loon (12') big cockpit, comfortable enough for hunting, fishing, clamming. Fresh and salt. Just love them landlocked rocky areas.

Ok, I'm new here ( but not to SW Fishing and/or from a Yak).
Been fishing a Pungo Classic for 7 years or so. Picked up a Loon 138 somewhere inbetwen for a spare. Got a Tarpon 140 Angler last fall to see if/what I was missing in a SOT. So far, the old Pungo is still my favorite.

Hey Swanny, I'd be curious to hear you personal comparison on the Tarpon 140 vs marquesa 14? I was on the fence with both these yaks and only got the T-140 because i snagged a deal.

Not a bad idea, where were you thinkin of having it?
|
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

I say we have a first north shore S-B get together. Lots of shoreline here around Marblehead. Then there's Manchester.... Maybe PlumIsland and the rivers, though I have zero local knowledge there.

Wee, I have things I like best about each boat. The marquesa w/out rudder is a much better performing boat than the t140 w/out a rudder. It tracks better and just feels less sloppy when paddling. If you have a rudder on a 140 than that's not an issue any more. a t140 w/rudder is a better tracking boat than the heritage w/out hands down. As far as speed it is close but I would say the marquesa is a touch faster. The marquesa also sits you a little higher. The t140 seat system is the best of any sot in my opinion. I can go 6-8 hours easy in it w/out getting out. The marquesa is another story 4 or 5 and I need to stretch and adjust. Mine is last years model with the factory seat so an aftermarket seat might help alot and I know the 06 model has a better seat. Both boats rig great and no difference except that the 140 has that rear hatch which makes rodholders an easy install with nuts/bolts whereas the heritage requires wellnuts or you need to add a hatch for rear rod holders. I've caught alot of great fish out of both and don't think anybody would be disappointed with either but if forced to choose I would keep the t140.
night- I think the north shore would be sweet. Maybe we could put a team together and fish some tourneys. Just got back from a yak fishing tourney in Jamaica bay - NY. There is 2 possibly 3 more tourneys this summer. King cove - stonington conn in June and the NEKF rodeo up north shore in august. I would like to fish up your way this year a little more and I wouldn't mind hosting some guys who want to fish RI this year. I fish newport and sakonnet alot as well as narr bay in spring.

I'm using the Tarpon t160i this year and I still have the tandem cobra rigged for fishing and since I sold the t120 and t140 I'm still looking to see what else to get.
