    Went with the Pelican Catch Mode 110 on sale for $699. Super stable and added a fin motor for $299. Perfect inshore set-up.

    Some great choices! Thanks for including me in the video. It's true, you CAN catch fish on a budget kayak (and in fact, mine is actually the 10 foot version so you DEFINITELY can). Cool that Lucas made the cut as well. #yakgang

    I just picked up a Lifetime Teton (aka Yukon) Pro 116 for $550 last night. Seems like it has more features than that Tamerak. It had been listed for $650 for quite a while though and I only just noticed it went down in price right before I had finally decided to buy.

    Not technically a fishing kayak but it's got a peddle drive which is more important to me. The Pelican Getaway only $999. Teo side rail gear tracks that I've attached 2 rod holders and a ff/gps. Room behind the seat for my extra large crate with 6 more rod holders.
