Great day fishing in my kayak w/ new Cabela's PFD
I packed everything up yesterday and met up with my sister to go kayaking on the James River...
i was changing lures in this photo, as jig spinners and rubber worm rigs weren't working.

It's incredible... Very stable and balanced. Thankfully my (late) brother-in-law bought a very nice, plush, seat and backrest for it. I can paddle for hours and not get cramped! It's called Cayman 124 (124 refers to 10'4" in length). It weighs a hefty 52# unloaded. They say you can actually stand up and fish out of it, since it's flat bottomed with a double keel. I'm thinking... Um, no.... I don't think so!

Yeah I agree that it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to stand up and fish out of it. I have one but the seat gets uncomfortable after a little while. That’s why I was asking about how it was sitting in it fishing. I will have to try and find something to make it more comfortable..

I'll try to get a photo of the aftermarket seat that my (late) brother-in-law bought for it. It's extremely comfortable, like sitting in a living room recliner watching the ball game!

One more "Retirement Gift" to me, after stopping at Cabela's... If you look closely at that photo of me in the fishing kayak, you'll notice my (late) bro-in-law's original kayak paddle set at 60° resting across my lap. The inside connecting tube (with the little push button locking mechanism) is slowly coming loose. D'oh.... So, Cabela's recommended I upgrade the kayak paddle, as Lord knows how old the original is/was back when my late brother-in-law bought it. This new one is made by Ascend and 240cm. Look close, and it even has a fish scale along the shafts in inches!
