Would have been more but I stole a Humminbird 570 from my father after a tree fell on his BassTracker. It's the cheap version with none of the cool features like GPS or side scan. But hey, it finds fish and structure and bottom contour so I'm cool with that!

The carpet is there because I covered some free/used 2"x6"x10' boards and installed them under a deck to use as boat storage. Works really well.

Used Native Ultimate 14.5 Propel, already had most accessories - $1400

Easy Cruz lower pitch prop upgrade - $120 (I'm a cyclist and like pedaling a faster cadence than the original prop setup gave me)

2 Scotty rod holders - $35

12V battery and box - $25

Depth finder is also used on my big boat, and I had an extra transducer.

It's a great crappie setup. It was expensive up front, but with no trailer needed, and no registration since it's still human power, it will be cheap to own and fish out of when I'm retired and poor.

I posted about yesterday's trip in it here.

Ocean Kayak Trident Angler 13 - $800

2 Okuma Coronado CD50s - $70
1 Daiwa Sealine XD40HA - $65
1 Avet SX - $120
1 Ugly stik medium action w/ Shimano Sahara - $70

Ocean Kayak Scrambler XT - $380
Paddle clip - $10

Total - priceless

That sums it perfectly. I've been kayak fishing for almost a decade and the best thing I can take-away are all the friends I've made. It's been more than a worthwhile investment.

This is pretty much how I feel too. I sold most all of my deer hunting stuff and bought a kayak. To get a decent deer lease around where I live you going to have to dish out $1500-$2500. After that you start adding up camo, tree stands, corn, calls, cameras, etc.... The total amount a year spent is staggering. And you have to spend it again each year.
With kayak fishing I was able to buy a kayak and equipment and have something I can use years ahead. To other Kayakers they too understand the awesome feeling of being out in a kayak fishing. The joy from fishing that i get, and the time spent with my friends while doing it is indeed priceless!!

Yak - 650

PFD - 90 (really need a new one)

Paddle - 85 (not gonna mention the two I've broken)

FF - 190

Estimated Rigging and Accessories - 150-200

So that makes around 1200...

Course then there's the two combos I've lost...

It should also be mentioned that amount spent on lures, tackle, gas etc. went up by a factor of about ten compared to the pre-yak days...

Been worth it though... And still tens of thousands less than a
stinkpot!

since i quit bass fishing I spend a lot less money. and i enjoy catfishing more than i ever did chasing them green trash fish.

Oh Hooligan... I hope I meet you one of these days out on LBL. 99% of your posts make me laugh out loud.

Dude......that's why you have been on your dink run. Gotta welcome the fatties!!!

My wife told me this same thing when I slapped the sticker on it lol.
