Can you fish off this kayak?

For sure! Only weak point of the sea eagle is the foot pump. It will fail, and the cause is the cheap plastic hinge.

You could fish with this kayak. Casting might roll some, but small lake, river fishing should be ok. try to get the better seats. we have the cheaper blowups and they really aren't as good- too low and not enough back support. there is enough room between seats for tackle box, worms, and you could tie a stringer off the bow or stern. Large fish might pull you around, though ;-).

Yes, I do and often. One must take precautions to secure the "catch" in Puncture Proof bags, containers. So that Sharp Fish parts, don't rupture the air tubes !

without any doubt, yes you can. in terms of one or two people there is plenty of room for both the individual or the two for both and the tackle and gear. even if you were to drop a hook or knife, unless you were to directly stab or slash at the kayak yiu won't puncture it. this thing can hold 450 pounds. so it is very safe for lake fishing. however oceans and shark fishing, probably not. but, yes is the short answer.

Yes, I fish off it often. I find it cramped for two people to fish off it but it can be done. It is perfect for one person.

Sure!... you always have to be careful with the hooks of course, but the material is SO thick and strong, and if you are fishing alone, you will have more than enough room for coolers, gear, etc.

You sit rather low in the kayak, so casting would be difficult. Would work fine for still fishing, but I would personally be wary of having fish-hooks near the inflatable kayak for the risk of punctures.

I began with an open kayak for fishing. Start with a comfortable life vest. Try a few on at a boating supply store and be sure it feels ok when you sit and when you rotate your arms. Next is a kayak paddle. Check the ratings for quality and get the kind that has drip rings. Kayaks are very light and don't sit deep in the water. Choose a calm day or you'll get blown around. They are quite "tipsy" so choose shallow water until you are confident with your balance and paddling abilities. Hope this helps.

You can but its not the best choice. This has additives for wet clutch usage, which your outboard does not have.

Yes, but probably overkill. You could rig it with several 12' kayaks. Most people I see put kayaks on a roof rack. I have a 12' aluminum Starcraft with outboard on mine.

Yes, call the G/flex Company and ask for customer service to steer you to technician to tell you how to use the product.I have had good luck with this product on a number of projects besides kayaks.

Yes, but it is designed for freshwater. You should probably get a more sturdy reel for saltwater fishing.

you could if you did some modifications to the boat like add a wood floor and a center battery/drybox in the middle and made your own latches on the battery box, I made those modifications and used the battery box as the center seat with the inflatable cushion and 2 lawn chairs for the driver and front passengers..awesome fishing boat!! people offer to buy it from me all the time!!

I have used mine in rivers and lakes/ponds. Whereas you sit on top of this kayak, if you got hung up in the shallows, its just a matter of swinging your legs to the side and standing up and pull it along to deeper water. But i've never had to do that...even in a few inches of water. However, this is not made for any type of white water, rapids, etc., imo.

You could. I don't. I just cruise/ let the dogs pull me. Nice board for the money. I haven't done a drift in 15 years.

The wheels come off and the frame collapses flat. The frame will have to be strapped down on top of the kayak as it will not fit in any hatches I know of..I have put the wheels in the hatches but my hatches are wide enough...not sure what kind of Kayak you have...
1821359
Yes it does. Kayak works well for touring. It is not very fast, so don't try to race anyone with it!
144297
Yes, you can do that, however, you still may have to add a few pumps of air before each use. It would be best to keep it indoors so that the varying temperatures or sunlight wouldn't effect the air pressure inside the kayak.

I believe you could. The foam cushions the kayak when the straps are secured over it. The cushions hold good onto the vehicle without much motion at all. The kit comes with three straps. One for the middle and two for front and back.

I guess you could. But I don't recommend this float. Too many issues, and mine didn't last.

I always launch from the bay or inlet when I fish. I launch other times from the beach so I know what you mean by very wet. I am not sure it would hold up to that kind of use/abuse. There are some more open connections like the battery that I would be concerned with. It is a good unit and I am sure there is a way to make it more water/ wave proof. It depends on your yak.

No. Product includes the fishfinder, transducer and necessary wires. You still need to get a battery to power system. If mounting on a kayak, get the mounting kit which can be placed inside the hull of the kayak. Or you can just glue the transducer to the bottom hull (inside)

Great idea! It would be excellent for kayak fishing. Has everything built into a compact case. Fish finder, surface temperature, gps, compass, and chart plotter.
