woodman Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 I finaly got the boat on the watter Monday..forgot the camera..man the day was beautiful and the lake was clear... Oh man I'm hooked now...this 28 lb boat is ausome...tracks really good and is super stable...even fished out of it....it was a breeze to carry with one hand up and down the steep bank to put it on the lake....I've built 4 cedar strip boats, 4 stitch and glue boats...These SOF are the most fun to build and paddle...I'm hooked... Well back on the lake Jacomo this morning.....As they say "it got slimed" well went back to that clear lake this morning and the bass were on it...this is the one 19'' long.... I need to mark off a scale on this boat I guess.... And then later I hooked into a carp that took me for a ride for about 20 min. I tighnend up the drag on the 4lb test to try to get a hand on him, with my hand tired and all and he broke the line.... Pics. of the build here... http://s147.photobuc...e 16 SOF Kayak/ http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
BadKarma Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Nice fish!! And a sweet lookin yak. Don't worry about life, your not going to survive it anyway. Go fishing instead.
Buzz Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 The kayak looks great. Nice fish too. If fishing was easy it would be called catching.
woodman Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 Thanks guys...Did I mention their is less than $200..in material in this boat... When I was headed to shore I smacked head on into a rock hidden in the weeds next to the bank....I looked at the bow and their is no sign except the paint is not as glossy...I think I need to add a keel rub strip to the bow ..... http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 That is neat. What does SOF stand for? Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)
