Good luck Joey! I guess for now you can use it as a toboggan, or an ice fishing sled!

Thats a great rig Joe, good luck with it. Do they come with some kind of "anchor/running" lighting? The reason I ask is we almost hit a guy off of SeaSide at gray light striper fishing last year. We were a mile off the beach and the guy was dressed in camo with a dark brown kayak.
I think the whole kayak thing is very cool they make me a little nervous with no marking lights at low light
Good Luck with it!!

Thanks Mike!! I do have a reflective flag for it and I do plan on getting some sort of light on a pole for it. I can't wait to get out there!!

I hate to be a buzz killer but that orange flag does ZERO at low light. I would not venture out in OCC,DC the inlet or off the beach.The reason I'm saying this is I almost hit the guy off of Seaside. He would have been dead for sure. It bothered me for a few days. I think lighting needs to be mandatory on these new vessels

I agree 100% Mike. The flag I got is reflective but I don't go out in lowlight conditions. Nor do I even fish the channels or high traffic waterways. I am considering getting some sort of light pole too.

are the kayaks subject to the same as a ski...not allowed on the water after dark? (So I've heard)

And don't forget to pack a air horn

I don't believe so. If they have the right lights, flags, etc. I think they are OK. I carry a whistle around me neck as well.

They are allowed after dark assuming they have proper lighting and carry the necessary/required equipment.

Nice. Joey, I'll see you over at the Forked River Tuna Club. I have a friend around your age that loves to fish and just got a yak. I told him to head over

jak, it's funny because when I posted this, my dad said, "You should've cleaned the garage before you took the picture!" LOL.

Dave, I can't wait to use it!! I certainly will enjoy it!!
