sit on top - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So I know I'm probably gonna get some flack for this decision but I'm going to purchase a new Lifetime Tamarak 120. I sincerely appreciate the generous offer from YakMedic and I hope we can get together on the water sometime and get into some fish. Please feel free to take me up on that offer for the pizza if you're still in the area on saturday.

Enjoy your kayak, It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I just try and help people get into the sport and on the water and will offer the kayak up to the next guy that comes along with a budget.

I'll pass on the pizza, but fishing is always good in my book. Have fun out there, and get some fish slime on your new boat.

I will ask my friend that is on a budget.

Can I be next in line at that price. That is a crazy good deal. Don't pass on it. These deals come around as often as a white marlin!

The Tarpon 120 is a $900 12' kayak that paddles great and is fully suitable for ocean use. The Tamarack 120 is a $370 10' kayak that's going to have serious limitations for paddling and fishing. $250 for a Tarpon is a killer deal.

Maybe you should just try to re buy your sit inside kayak back..... honestly EVERYONE on this site is giving you solid advice. You are chomping at the bit wanting to get into this sport and EVERYONE IS TELLING YOU THE SAME THING. Go ahead and buy a turd with a warranty, what's it matter anyway....

Alright guys, give the kid a break. It's his decision to make and all that matters is he is joining the sport. I was speaking to a kayak rep last weekend and he had some insight where no one ever buys their last kayak. Regardless of what kayak he starts with there will be an upgrade eventually.

As for the Tarpon I offered up for sale, It's sold already to someone else that messaged me after Schmalzy said he didn't want it.

The guy doesn't want to buy a 10 year old kayak, I can't say that I blame him. Who wants to be worried every time they go out if that's the day a crack will form?

But Schmalzy88, don't worry so much about a warranty. You can find a good used yak if you keep looking. "Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will." ~Tommy
