Made an afternoon trip yesterday to do some scouting for the Salty Cajun Tournament next weekend. I was able to get on them once the Tide started falling and caught all fish on Top. It was my 1st Solo yak trip but def one I won't forget! I can only hope to have the same turn out for Aug 4th!! Hope to see plenty Kayakers at the Tournament. Thanks SC for adding a Yak Division!!

I bought it at Pack and Paddle in Lafayette. It is made by Native Systems Kayaks. Works Great, I put 16-20lb of ice and lasts all day and has held over 20 fish before.
