I've owned and fished out of a redfish 14 for about 5 years now, and really like it. I went with a SOT mainly because I feel it's much easier getting into and out of the boat while I fish sand bars...
I have a 14' redfish too... and mostly likely the vibration sound is the ropes/straps you're tying the boat down with. Those things can give a good hum. The bungies over the rear cargo area...
I'm curious about how people store the anchor line. I now only coil the line as best as I can and pile it up on the standing platform (I have a scadden boat with a through the frame anchor line...
If that's not the order of priority... then I think a fishing kayak might be a better option than a pontoon. Especially on the saltwater flats such as Joppa where you'd potentially be paddling a...
These guys have a really good forum.

I learned how to install a depth finder/gps from their "articles" page:...
I'm actually hanging it by the frame... so the pontoons are "hanging" off the frame.
This past weekend, I installed a pulley system to store my skykomish sunrise in the rafters in my garage... the next morning, which was slightly cooler than the previous afternoon when I hoisted th...
My wife and I both have XM units I installed in our cars (before the Sirius/XM merger). If you don't want bells and whistles (ability to record shows, internal antennas to pull unit out of car and...
Thanks.... I like these kind of build it myself type projects, so this is right up my alley.
and thanks to everyone for the comments... I realized after posting this question seems to get asked...
What do you weight your homemade anchor with?
I'm buying a used pontoon boat tonight (YES!), and an anchor is not included...
I've searching around, and I found a few kinds of styles:
One is a pyramid, in 5 or 12 lbs. (sold at Cabelas,...
I have an outback, and use the Yakima rollers and cradles for one boat, and Malone J-bars for a second one.
I can't fit two boats side by side with 2 yakima/thule cradles... so I had to go to the...
I have this exact unit, and it works great. I use the split screen a bunch (the 240 doesn't have a split screen), when I'm drifting over striper holding spots (I mark the spot on the gps, and can...
I was told to lean plastic kayaks on their sides, as this is the strongest axis... if you lay it on the bottom or top, it can warp the curvature.
I am a big fan of the TT lines, I think they roll cast fantastically, as well as great at regular casting.
For the tinkerers out there, one can trim the forward section of the TT line to get...
So I finally got myself a digital camera (hey... this is what the 21st century is like... cool!).
and finally took some pics of the stripers and bluefish I caught... but it was pretty dang...
I have a Heritage Redfish (14'), and I can stand up on it (haven't stood and cast on it... yet).
So, my experience is that I have no problems with tipping while casting, but this may be a huge...
Just another question:
Am I missing a switch in a setting to see who replies to which post? Anyway that there can be a "reply" button to a specific poster in a thread?
Edit: by the way, I...
I also liked the "jump to" box at the bottom... maybe have it in both places?
Also, the jump to box is a drop down menu along with a "Go" button. Unless I have some weird setting, as soon as I...
Does anybody use a trailer? I saw a Thule one at my local sporting goods shop... and it looked pretty interesting.
Its in the link in my post above.
What kind of car/truck do you have?
On my Outback, I have 2 kinds... the J bars (by Malone), and the rollers and saddles (by Yakima).
I use the rollers with my fishing 'yak (Redfish)... as I...
Not sure if you're going to be doing it a lot... but one of the things I'll never go to the surf without is a stripping basket (reiterate Skip's post).
You can make one for <$10... buy a...
I've gotten a bunch of stuff from www.kayakfishingstuff.com
Those guys really know their stuff about what works on a kayak.
I got a naviation light for x-mas... so I don't know where that...
I'm installing a system like this [url=http://www.kayakfishingstuff.com/articles_view.asp?Kayak_Articles=54:b6d77]anchor system[/url:b6d77] on my kayak. Basically it's a loop of rope from bow to...
