NAC Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 This Saturday May 3 @ Laurel Creek Conservation Area in Waterloo. 9:30am start This is a great opportunity for anyone who has been kicking around the idea of purchasing a fishing kayak or any kayak for that matter to get out and give some a try! I was asked to display a rigged yak. I believe that the fishing yaks, there will be Heritage, Hobie, Native, Ocean and Wilderness Systems.... at least that's what they carry in-store. Stop by and say "Hi", I'll be the one with the Jack Russell(Gordie) in his PFD pulling the yak all around. Sorry for the short notice, but I myself was just invited today. Hope a few of you can make it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks for the info. I'll try to drag my little girl along so we can try out some tandems. Is it "rain or shine"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAC Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have the H-bird 535 portable that I use on one of my kayaks. I bought portable to use on the ice as well and got a base for the kayak then attached it to a RAM mount - works real nice. silicon the transducer to the flatest part of the hull and hook up a gel cell battery what type of kayak are you putting the sonar on? there's lots of kayak rigging tips/diplays/help on the Ontario kayak fishing site - Yakfisher.net BTW - the subject event is running on Sunday as well.

johnnyb Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hey all you yakkers...CTC has a fishing kayak on sale right now...in the weekly flyer which is viewable online...FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hope you had yourself a good day out there Nomad! And just a reminder if folks couldn't make it out today, it's also on tomorrow( Sunday )! Sounds pretty neat if you're interested in buying a kayak because you get to test paddle a bunch of models and 'try before you buy.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Pamlico 100 by Wilderness systems.... Not top of the line but good for what I wanna do with it, plus a longer one would be a problem when putting it in my truck cab...LOL. I looked at that fish finder also, but it looked kinda bulky for me, I would have to see it in the store to see how big it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit of monsoon on Saturday but things appeared to have went well. Several people purchased fishing kayaks and whole lot more got intested in it. Good to meet a few of you!! see pics; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlied Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 NICE KAYAK THERE....I can't do all that with mine. Mine is similar to the blue kayak in the 3rd pic, there are 3 kayaks in front of yours, mine is like the blue one. Guess I will have to improvise when added stuff to my YAK...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
