  1. Wow nice ride. Good luck with your sale.
  2. Honestly I never use my knife. I have nail clippers and scissors that I use all the time . I have a nrs dive knife but honestly I never removed it from the sheath. I would recommend a blunt tip. If you are in the salt stuff rusts pretty quickly.
  3. If you plan on surf launching I would try with no gear the first time. Gear is expensive. Many people fail to avoid tipping when launching and landing in the surf zone. Less is more in a kayak. Especially out front in the ocean. I think you mentioned a pedal drive kayak. Pedal drives are very expensive to replace. Rudders and pedal drives can be problematic in the surf zone. Lots of you tube video's out there. Since you were a surf fisherman you have probably seen lots of failed launches and landings.
  4. Plastic lip gripper,Hook remover, Needle noise pliers, nail clippers, compass, Hat, sunscreen , paddle leash, pfd. phone, dry bag for phone. Empty peanut butter jar for when nature calls. Pump in case the kayak fills with water. Something to cut a hook out of your finger could come in handy too. Good luck out there. Be safe.
  5. That cart looks great. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the new cart. How do you like your skimmer. That is a good looking kayak.
  6. Thanks for sharing. That is a great comparison of 4 kayaks. Totally unbiased. Very good information.
  7. I have used SUP's for a few years now. They are a great work out. They are also very limited. They perform very poorly with wind over 10mph. The sup's I have were not made for fishing. They only weigh about 25 lbs. The sup's that are made for fishing weigh almost as much as my c14. I will take the c14 over the sup any day for fishing. I do fly fish from my c14. I do not do it while standing up. It is hard to get a sup and or kayak that does everything well. As we age the weight of the kayak becomes more important. It is pretty easy to use the sup. No cart, no electronics, no gear. Just a pfd and a paddle and bottle of water. Clean up is also very easy. Just rinse with fresh water.
  8. Works pretty good in lake george for small mouth. Easy to keep alive in a bucket too. Good luck
  9. Put a few twist in your straps. This may help. As John suggests.
  10. My experience with the switch blade was no bueno. It created way too much drag. It also collected all the crap that was floating in the water. I put it back in the hull and used duct seal. I never looked back. It also makes hookup and take down much simpler. Some times the old school ways are better. Disclaimer Duct seal will not work for side scan imaging. But those transducers don't look like they have it? Good luck with your decision.
  11. Wow that is some great photos. Thanks for sharing.
  12. Nice fish ZATsol. If you don't mind me asking what is the red container over front hatch ? Is that an ocean kayak prowler ? Nice looking ride
  13. Police announced Sunday that a body has been recovered from Keyport Harbor. Police have not released the identity of the body that was found washed up near American Legion Drive. This is near the area where the belongings of missing kayaker Zhenjiang Ding was found last week. MORE: Coast Guard suspends search for 74-year-old kayaker who went missing on Raritan Bay Ding, 74, went missing a week ago as he was kayaking in the harbor. A search was called off after crews worked for almost two days to find him. An autopsy is underway as authorities try to identify the body found.
