First off, I must say, I love my wife. She understands how much I want to be on the water fishing but due to some hard times we can't afford a boat right now. She goes out and does the next best thing. She picked up a Perception Sport Access angler 11.5, new - but it was on clearance (Dick's Sporting Goods) plus 10% off because one of the pulley's on the anchor trolley was half broken. Got it for a still $295 which left room to buy the paddle, PFD and safety equipment, it also came with a anchor and line. It was still wrapped in plastic.
So I'm open to suggestions as to what else to add, I've looked at the post above with all the nice kayak mods.
Here's what I plan to add soon.
Fishfinder - with scupper transducer (I'll find a model) on a RAM mount powered by a small 12 V battery
Milk crate with extra rod holders (not sure if I want to do PVC or buy prefab model)
Kayak dolly - I'll either make one but I saw one on Amazon for $24.95 that sounded like a good deal.
That will get me started and out on the water. I'm close by Shearon Harris and Jordan but there are tons of small ponds that I can now fish. I usually fish for bass but I really miss fishing the ICW since I was stationed in Charleston-SC and Jacksonville-NC so I really love redfish, trout and flounder. I look forward to your comments and possible heading out on some of the waters. Cheers!
