I'm loving my new inflatable kayak

Yes, at age 81, I bought my 6th kayak. While I still have a 17 ft tinny here in TN., I decided that there were some small ponds/lakes around that I'd like to fish. For well under $500, all-in, I can deflate; fold, and transport this 12 ft. yak anywhere. I added a far better seat and I still don't have much money in the deal. It takes less than five minutes to re-inflate it and launch. Having fun at my advanced age! Intex Excursion Pro-2. richg99

That's awesome.
I find myself using my inflatable more and more. Just so much easier to just throw it in the vehicle with a paddle, take 2-3 rods, and minimal tackle +/- basic fish finder.

What kind of fish finder? Also has anyone tried glue-on rod holders?

Glue on Scotty mount pads (I got the bases that lock so the FF and swing arm wouldn’t spin)
Garmin Striker 4
Basic Scotty swing arm for the transducer.

I prefer horizontal rod holders (less chance of breaking a rod tip in a tree or going under a short bridge)

Richg, the older I get, the lighter I like my boats. Pack boats can easily travel by Airline, and are light enough to be carried on Long hikes to remote Alpine Lakes- where fishing pressure is very low. Inflation goes pretty fast with my 3.5 oz battery powered pump, but if I have to load or unload anything (oars, poles, tackle box, lunch, drinks, etc.) it takes me a while longer to carry everything between the water and vehicle, without dragging the boat.

Hope this helps.
