That most of you guys have about the yak thing-
I picked up a perception of 12 footer and was able to take it out today-
It was pretty windy in the open water so I went up a creek and it felt like I was fishing in stealth mode-
Such a different experience than taking the toon out-
I think I have a new passion now!

Yak fishing has a certain wild feel that's a bit irresistible. You can get into places that boats can't get to...and hey, they cost a whole heck of a lot less, too! And don't require gas and need minimal maintenance. Welcome to the club!

I got mine in early May and every chance I get , I am out there enjoying. As a bank fisherman, this has opened my eyes to a whole new world and places to go .

I grew up fishing out of a boat and that's what I was used to. I inherited my dads boat and enjoy it when I get the chance to take it out. The problem is the cost of ownership. Boats aren't cheap to maintain. My wife knew that I was itching to get back out on the water so 2 years ago she bought me a kayak for Christmas. I used that thing so much. It was different than boat but not in a bad way at all. I'm now on my 2nd kayak and love every second I'm on it. I take it out almost every weekend to various lakes and small ponds. It's not so much a recreation, but a passion and lifestyle.
