Hello g2h:
I do most of my kayak/fishing in the westport area and would be happy to meet up with you this coming spring.
Mid to late May is about when I would expect to be heading back out.

Got a Hobie Rev last year and used it only 2 or 3 times.
Would also like to hook up with others this year.
Can do West Bay or East Bay - RI, Westport. Live Barrington,RI
Sounds like there's enough of us to have some real fun :-)
Come on spring !

Enjoying Life !

Striperman:
The kayak in the pic is one that I built from plans from Wooden Boat Magazine, the Tursiops designed by Mike Alford.
It is 15' long with 28" beam. (Cant find my pics of it right now)
Very stable even in choppy seas.
Chesapeak Light Craft does have some nice kayaks for fishing.
Building small boats is my winter time hobby.
Got plans to build a 14' outboard skiff next then maybe a 17' cc.
Had some money to buy the plywood and epoxy but I spent it on a new VS200!

^VS200, I love mine. This is shaping up to be a great time on the water. Hopefully, the fish will cooperate  |

I'll take a look, I have always wanted to build a small boat.
I have a 21' CC, but would love to build a yak, my wife wants a plastic one, I like the Ocean Kayaks SO for fishing.
Did you stitch and glue it? |

That kayak is not stitch and glue.
It is built in the plywood on frame method.
Basically you cut pieces of ply the shape of the hull
attatch them to a keel, add longtitudal stringers at the chines and sheer then cover with marine grade plywood.
I have also built a stich and glue kayak from Pygmy Boats.
Much easier to build and lighter.
If I can locate the pictures of the build I will start a new thread.
Didn't mean to hijack this one.
G2H: yes I love my new vs 200. Whent out a few days ago to try a few cast and to get used to the bailess. Only took about half hour to get the hang of it. Even though the wind was @ 25 mph
Now bring on the stripers and blues!
