So I will be graduating in June, and hopefully getting an apartment. As of right now, I'm limited to fishing with my feet on ground, but am dreaming of my own waftercraft of some sort to go fishing with.
I think I might be interested in an inflatable boat/kayak/something to go fishing with. I've never been fishing in a kayak before, much less anything inflatable, and have 2 questions:
1) Is it risky to fish on an inflatable boat thing? I can just see a hook causing a puncture and deflation in the middle of a lake and losing all of my stuff as it sinks below and having to swim back to shore.
2) Any suggestions on specific watercraft? I haven't decided on a price range yet, I'd rather look at all options first. Bascically, being compact for storage when I'm not using it is the biggest factor in what I'd like.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
