Well I took the plunge with a Pelican Pulse 100X Angler.
Got my feet wet in a strip pit down in Open county.
Clean deep water with lots of cover.
Lots and lots of eaten size Bluegills.
I love, it best thing since sliced bread.
So much for the fun,
As for the kayak, not so much. Take my comments as coming from a rank beginner.
While I felt it was plenty stable enough and it move through the water well, tracking could be better. Although changing direction in a tight space was a cinch. The cockpit was small. There was where the problem arose, I couldn't get out with out getting my arse wet. I believe this was because of a combination of slick decking and lack of hand holds. Granted I have limited flexibility in my knees and to much gut.
The rod holder on the front deck was of little use, to complicated and hard to reach. Fact is that I wonder if it is worth the extra money for the angler model? Glad I kept the receipt, I'm thinking of making some changes. When I do....another update..........Season the fillets with a little lemon pepper and butter. Quick flip on a hot grill...............<>< Duce
