Get it. Love Mine. West Cove launch is where we put in mostly. Good marsh and only a few miles to the reefs. Tide does rip sometimes though.

You will love the PA. If I ever go back to kayaks I'm getting another one.

[bgizzle]

When the tide rips is it hard to catch a grip on the yak?

There are several marhes off the Hog Island gully boat launch [Sabine NR] canal that are mostly protected areas from the wind and short paddles.

Ever thought about the Hobie Outback as it is half the weight and still has the stability to standup if sight casting. I like the pa but it is a big boat.

I had an outback and a pro angler. At 260 I could stand in the outback but only to take a leak in calm water. I could fish and everything else in the PA.

From what I remember it would have to be a hell of a tide to put a strain on a mirage drive. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

PA without a doubt. Thx for all the help. If anyone wants a new yak partner I will be getting mine soon like tomorrow. Pm me I want to start fishing asap

There is a few people going out Fri, launching at West Cove. Check out LKFC and get in on the trip.

What kind of anchor should I get a Cajun pole anchor or the trolley anchor system?

[RAGINJROB]

I use a dumbell off the back. Fast and easy. I will see if I have pics from my PA to show you. Where are you getting your PA from?

[bgizzle]

Pack and paddle

[RAGINJROB]

Oh yea! Talk to Skip. He will hook you up with any install you need.

[bgizzle]

[bgizzle]

In other words will it ride in the back of my f150 half ton strapped down

[RAGINJROB]

13'10" I think. Will fit but will work better with bed extender. They like $40 at Harbor Freight if they still got them.
