What Should I do to make my lower back and butt comfortable on my sit-on-top Kayak.?

Sun, 08 May 2011 00:04:36 +0000

I’m a kayak fisherman with an sit-on-top Emotion fisherman kayak. I have a cheap seat and I have tried a $100.00 seat before which I took back. While I fish my lower back gets sore I’m sure a more expensive seat will make my butt comfortable but my back needs support, maybe its the way I sit but I usually shove something behind my lower back to act like a lumbar in a car seat for relief. I’m 6’0 tall 215 lbs thick athletic build. All the seats I look at don’t seem to have any kind of lower back support. I usually quit fishing because my back gets so tired so any kind of advice would help. Thanks for your answers.

Can someone give me advise on purchasing a Kayak?

New to kayaking. Im looking for a tandem kayak that is affordable, I will be using it for mostly fishing. I am just having trouble finding a used and/or affordable one. I cant see myself spending over $700 on basically a hull… I have looked at the pelican elite but i havent seen any reviews on the elite series and its not really made for fishing. I also am not that worried about tracking I paddled 7 miles on a $100 inflatable and Im sure anything is better than an inflatable,not to mention hook resistant. And what is better sit on top or sit in? Thanks…..

Sit in Kayak vs. Sit on Top kayak?

Sat, 07 May 2011 08:01:51 +0000

Looking for a Kayak but am not sure which model to go with.

New to Kayaking and looking for a tandem kayak to be used on lakes / rivers and possible inter coastal, recreational use and fishing
Not sure which way to go. Solo won’t work. Need either a Tandem Kayak or go with Canoe (not a huge fan of canoes)

Need multipurpose for the family but preferably fishing when possible. Can go with recreational model but outfit it if possible – not just add a rod holder. Want it to still look cool.

Will use on lakes – small river and possible inter coastal in South Carolina.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Budget conscious so please no .. Hobie responses. I would love to get one if I could. I can’t.

Has anyone hear of Crescent Kayaks? If so, am looking for real reviews.
Thank you

Kayak Stake Out Poles

Michael — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 05:16:26 +0000

Kayak Stake Out Poles are a very useful accessory for your fishing kayak. They are also termed anchor stick, stick it, push pole (with the proper handle), and dig stick. The purpose of it is to keep your kayak in the same place in shallow water. They are only good for shallow water though, as they are usually less than 6 feet in length. The principal is pretty simple, just stab it into the mud, sand, rock, whatever type of bottom you are over, and tether it to the kayak. You can then stay in the boat to fish an area, or use the stake out pole to keep your boat in the same spot while you go for a walk on the island or shoreline.

Some useful ways of attaching your kayak stake out pole are through an anchor trolley, using an anchor rope, sticking it through a scupper hole, or through the carry handle on the front. Any of these ways work, some better than others. Using an anchor trolley is my preferred method. This helps you angle the kayak with the current and wind, to ensure the stake out pole is going to stick in the bottom, without being tugged out. The next best method, but is hard to do while on the boat, is through the carry handle. This usually places the tension lower on the stakeout pole, helping it stick to the bottom.

The anchor rope tied to the kayak and the stake out poles is almost unreliable. When the wind and current pick up, it is going to cause the kayak to bounce against the stakeout pole. Eventually this will pull the fishing kayak away, and if you aren’t in it, you are going to swim after your boat. It is still used though, because you can easily store 7′-10′ of anchor rope anywhere on your kayak.

If you are using a sit on top fishing kayak, your boat comes with scupper holes, or holes through the boat to allow for water drainage. Find a stake out pole that is small enough diameter to fit through this hole on your kayak. This is by far the most secure of the methods used, but if lacks control in the direction of the boat. If you have scuppers far enough forward, or aft, you can use it in the same manner that you would an anchor trolley, but you must make sure your fishing kayak is stable before you start climbing to the front of it.

Kayak stake out poles are useful for kayak fishing. They are also relatively cheap, and easy to build. Stay tuned for a tutorial on building your safety light / stakeout pole / day flag!
