Not Just 'Yak Angling Anymore

She's not gonna win a beauty contest anytime soon, but it's a boat. Courtesy of some very loving grandparents who are almost too good at junkyard picking, I can get on some bigger bodies of water now!

She's a fourteen footer, with a beautiful little 9.5 Johnson kicker on the back. I got her to a local lake and she buzzed around just fine. I'm going to work on a few kinks that need sorting out with an engine that has been around since the Nixon administration, but with a pricetag of "you haul it out, and it's yours," I'm very satisfied. I'm very much looking forward to casting a line or two very soon!

Now, this doesn't mean I'm swearing off of kayak fishing, but it does provide a solution to some of my problems that I highlighted in my last post of last summer. Hopefully I'll be able to get a few more posts on this summer!
