    Talking New Kayak

    Took the new Kayak out last week, no strikes but I had a lot of fun I think Ill keep it.
    Had a manatee surface right next to the yak, I could have touched him with the paddle, I think I may have spooked him while he was feeding on grass.
    He was too big to get into the boat so we said parted company as friends.
    I hear they taste like chicken.

    Default Pelican

    Hi Mike

    Pelican Castaway, I didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I hated fishing out of a kayak.
    I am going to use this for a while then probably upgrade.

    Congratulations on your new Yak! I fish out of one about 90% of the time now and I love it. While I've seen manatee in the wild when I lived in Florida, I never had one surface that close to me. I think that could have been startling to say the least. I live on a 50 acre lake here in Georgia and there is a huge snapping turtle that surfaces next to me a couple times a season and every time he does it it startles the crap out of both of us. I look and all of a sudden there is a turtle head almost as big as a football right next to the kayak and about one second later he's paddling like crazy to get the heck away from me. I think he mistakes the kayak for a log or something and when he gets to the surface, there's some fool sitting on the log. Anyway, enjoy your new yak and good luck.

    Congrats on your new ride and best wishes for you with it. It will open up a lot of water for you to fish and explore.
    Good Tying and Good Fishing!
