Went out yesterday with the youngest and found out the hard way that if you dump a sit in its next to impossible to get back in and actually row LOL. My youngest dumped it in the middle of Hoover and I almost freaked (he is very skittish sometimes) he started to panic but I was able to get him to be calm and stay by the boat while I tied it to mine and towed us all in. Got lucky the plugs were in place or I think it would have sank but since there was still air in it we were able to bring it to shore.

Oh and the water was cold but with the rowing and it splashing on you it felt pretty good. Im not sure Ill try standing in one cant see why I would need to, that being said hell no with the sit on top LOL. I casted out a couple of times and it was awkward at first that will take some getting used to, but I hope to be able to use them to take to some place out of the way.

Not too bad, the sit on top was very shakey at first till I got used to it. Was out for about 1 1/2 hours. I was going to go to Dillon but kinda glad I didnt since the boat traffic there I would assume have been heavy.

Going to take them out on Hoover today to see how it feels (hopefully I dont have a freaking heart attack LOL) will bring a couple of rods for bass to test out fishing from them directly altho for cats I plan on just using them to take somewhere that I otherwise couldnt easily get to.

How do you all keep your baits? Im thinking of bringing a small bucket and put holes in it so they stay live but could just as easily go for a cheap cooler that I could put them on ice.

Just got them here are the pics. They are 10ft not 14 like I thought but that makes it easier for me to take somewhere also . Also if anyone knows where I can get some good but cheap PFD would appreciate it. Attachments:

1 is already registered we will have to register the other. I dont plan on fishing from it yet, I mainly want to use it to get to places like you said.

If any of you swamp me and my son prepare to be shot at LOL. Really tho what are some good tips? Ill get pics up tomorrow, Im buying them from my boss who already has them setup for fishing with rod holders. One is a sit in the other is a sit on top not sure of brand yet but he paid about 400 apiece for them Im getting both for 300 along with the PFD and everything that goes with them.
I need to get some stuff for the van to be able to carry them, I have the roof rack but I need the bars to go across them to put some J hooks on or is there an easier way to put them on the roof. I plan on staying close to the shoreline while in the lakes due to boat traffic and using them to go to places that you need a boat or yak to get to.
Ill be tempted to take them on Hoover first since its a low HP lake to test them out.
So any hints please give them to me.
