SOLO SKIFF PROGRESS THREAD - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mr hooks · 07-02-2020, 07:22 AM

Congratulations on the new solo skiffs. Got one way back they first started sell at oex. Andy hooked me up bait tank at front hatch. Only had it out few times as family and business run my life most time. Trying to get out soon. Hit me up and roll out with fellows. I'm here in OC but would like to get her to LA Jolla. I'll post up some pics on how I riged.

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO BRENT AT OEX! He has taken a lot of abuse from people on waiting lists and has worked extra hard to get or find products that are is short supply or even backorder. THANKS BRENT, Mark. If you need something like or for a kayak or Solo Skiff and you can't make it by OEX, than just order it from Kayak Fishing Supply. The shipping can be less then the gas to drive there and the products come to you. Support OEX and Kayak Fishing Supply!

Started out this afternoon laying out and installing the accessories, rod holder bases,etc. Had a good idea what I wanted and were. Now that the Skiff is home it's easier to see exactly if the locations I had picked would work for how I want it. A little different than on my kayak because of the extra room. Mostly things are going were I thought they would work best for me. There were some small placement changes and still working on the FF transducer mount option because I would like it to kick up if it needed to, and at the same time have the option to swing up and over to be out of the way on the rear for loading on the back of the truck. I installed the Scotty rod holder bases, live well (Hobie) drain. live well lid 6" hatch and front Yakattack gear tracks. Paddle holder. Front (bow) long rope (for tying up, and for holding on (helping stability) while navigating choppy water, etc. Tomorrow I'll continue with additional installations.

I am super interested in how you install your fish finder. So please include some close ups of that solution.

That seems to be a challenge on these.

Thanks for sharing.
