I sold my tarpon 13 When I moved back from Atlanta........stupid, stupid stupid! I know plenty of guys that burned hundreds of dollars of gas to get half a bag like that this weekend.........you are the man! I think its time to get another kayak and carry it in the V20 to the skinny water and paddle from there.

Thanks guys...Im new to this yakin thing but Im in love with it!


Warning to those thinking about "trying" it...its like crack rock!!


Im dying to get back at it....may go after work one day this week.

Man Stink you look like you been yakin for years. I see your friend has the Fish and Dive I bought a FND last week in Graphite. I had it out twice last weekend and can't wait to get out again this weekend. I will try and get some pics this time.

How are you powering your fishfinder?

[Stinky_Hooker]

CB I am definitely loving it. Just having so much experience on the water has helped me dive into it pretty easily.


That F&D is a nice boat...plenty of room, plenty of stability and plenty of storage. I ALMOST bought one but after Saturday glad I didn't. My Redfish will SMOKE it with half the effort.


I am powering the fish finder with a small motorcycle battery.


However, most of the guys in my club use the small rechargeable 9.6V RC car batterys. Easy to recharge and last all day with no problems. I will eventually go to that but I had the motorcycle battery anyways. They don't require 12v to run though because the 9.6 runs em fine. I forgot to charge mine and it read 7.5V most of the day....never missed a beat.

I have some R/C plane batteries, I was figuring I could get away with running a fishfinder on them. I'm looking at the Eagle Cuda 242 @ Walmart for $80, it looks perfect for a yak. Cheap, waterproof and low voltage draw.

[Stinky_Hooker]

Yes Mulv...it will work. Several of the guys I know are running the Cudas on RC batteries.
