kayak fun and fishing

[robinwood]

Since I now have no boat I purchased a Pelican Quest 100 Kayak from Costco - seemed like a good deal

with roof tie downs, paddle and skirt - Have not put in water yet - any commencts on these -

as if it feels good we will buy a second one maybe slightly larger so two of us can paddle together

one fishing , one just paddling etc - considering a 12 ft for the second one -

 

anyone out there have this model of Kayak?

 

appreciate any insight -suggestions -

I've used a pelican pursuit 100 sit in kayak for fishing quite a few times. I really don't mind it at all. I found that after a while out that my lower back would get sore. For the price of the kayak and what I need it for it works. Iv

I've fished out of one of these primarily on our annual fishing trip north.

We primarily use them on small spec and splake lakes.

They've worked well for us,the storage compartment is better than anything else I've seen in it's class and it has a few nice extras-like waterproof storage bag.

The one thing I would have liked is a slightly larger cockpit .I found it somewhat difficult/uncomfortable to pull my legs up enough to make exiting easy.We're using them in Northern Ontario in May and are usually dressed warm with raingear as well-so we're a bit bulked up.

For the price you can't go wrong and it comes with a decent paddle!

(not fishing - just testing )
