[quote jim202000]well for the related part .... no I don"t have waders and the such (that is why a $50 kick boat is still too much) More low cost ideas: Use a ski boat tow behind- tubes, rafts etc or one of the tubes that kids use to float the rivers with a paddle. Rent a tube or toon from fly shop. Make your own- more than 25 years ago I used 1/2" threaded rod, a sand chair and discarded pieces from a dock float to make a pontoon before they were even known in our area. Maybe the same could be done with some cleaned up, old logs. If lawnchair Larry could realize his dream of flight, then getting out on water is much easier.
oh the unrelated note (because it has already gone there) I would hope the above posted question is answered no but either way "watch that eye"! Dont even want to go there.
back to the proper side of things i am thinking of asking the fam for a hard body "sit on top" style kayak, they are the cheapest sort and seem like they would lend them selves well to fishing ( a lot of open space on the "deck" to work on) any one object to that thought ?? Well, at least your feet wont be marinating, ha... You asked for the downside in your original post, and I can give you 10 for a SOT, that doesnt mean we're objecting at all. Every craft has its negatives except my favorite pontoon. How often would you go out to your small lake or wherever you would go, if you had the ideal craft? How old are you and what kind of shape? No one can suggest what kind of craft to get anymore than what kind of belt, if any, you should wear.
Hope this helps.
