kayaking looks like a growing sport for fishing. think i'm gonna get one for summer. looking at mini-x. seems like a great 1st kayak. anybody else think so. or should i get an ocean kayak scrambler or drifter

i just bought mine over the weekend. i got myself a X-factor. and of course rain is/was in the forecast for the last few days.

can't wait to get it out.

have you checked out www.texaskayakfisherman.com yet? great site for all kinds of info.

The Mini-X has a lot of nice features (lightweight, easy to transport and store, stable). I'd try as many as possible beforehand.

I'm going to be up around Lake Grapevine at the end of May. If you'd like to try out a Mini-X, just let me know. I also have a Scrambler I might be able to bring with if you'd like to try out one of those as well. I would definitely sit in the Scrambler before buying one. Sometimes people find that the seating area is too narrow to be comfortable for them.

i have a heritage 9.5 and really like it got fish finder rigged on it has plenty of room and very 1st kayak friendly

I bought my son a Mini-X online from Austin Canoe and Kayak. It was delivered yesterday afternoon. He took it out on a local creek this morning and loved it. He caught a bluegill on his first cast! His friend went out in his Old Town Dirigo. He tried out my sons new Malibu Mini-X and now he wants one.

Last week, there were what looked like a couple of good deals on dallas craigslist. Before I could think through the logistics, they were gone within 24 hours.

I need to learn to pull the trigger a little quicker.

yeah good deals vanish quick, I might have a srambler XT/ speck for sale...a little faster then a mini-x still easy enough to transport.

I'm ready & have also been thinking about the mini-X.

i have a drifter for sale. it runs smooth thru the water and is very stable. Its an older model but in great shape. Want 450 for it but will take 400 if you come pick it up. I live in round rock. pics at austin craigslist/sporting goods/kayak

I want a mini-x

If anyone heads down south to pickup a kayak. Please pickup one for me.

I just bought my 1st yak, I went with the Manta Ray 12 and it is an outstanding boat. Plenty of room for your gear, stable, and comfy. Try to paddle a few before you buy, see what you like best.

I picked up a mini x

well this post is 2 years old and fish in the mini x all the time. in the lake and rivers too. great and stable for a 1st timer and light. highly recommend it. getcha some

saw this. good price

Thanks for pointing out the age of the post. I was reading wondering what you were doing asking about a first kayak? I was sure I had been reading your posts for a couple of years. NOW it getting clearer.
