| I have been looking to upgrade my kayak to one that has fishing features built in. The one that I like so far is an Old Town Dirigo. It has a built in rod holders, plus a post mounted rod holder that can be removed, very comfortable, adjustable seat and good storage. The weight is just under 50 pounds, with a 300 pound capacity. One creek I plan on fishing requires portaging the kayak around a bridge in all but the lowest water, so weight is a factor. The Ascend looks like a fishing machine and the price is good but at 96 pounds, little heavier than I want to be carrying on a frequent basis.
I have watched videos of guys catching everything from panfish to tarpon from a kayak, so I think muskies can be handled as well, with proper tools, planning and prep. I too will be fishing in shallow water, and plan on getting out if hooked to a good fish. | |
