I'm very new to yak fishing and have added a few things to my 8' plastic raft. I made a youtube video describing what I did to it for my non-fisherman friends up in New York, so parts of it might be boring to a seasoned yakker, but, I bet there still might be a thing or two in there that might raise your eyebrow.

I've seen the Kon Tiki rock some big redfish,trout and snook. Marty can catch some fish!
Now if I could just get him to lose the anchor/weight and let those big reds pull him on a flats sleigh ride.

Rick, you are too kind! And a few weeks back, I was drifting and saw a disturbance in a Mullet school. I threw the bone colored Spook Jr. over it and nailed a 34" snook!! It pulled me around for quite a while You woulda been proud seeing me go on my first sleigh ride.
Re: Poor Man's Fishing Kayak
Great video, Kon Tiki. I'm really digging your toolbox setup. If I've learned anything while fishing the river, it's that PVC and bungee chords are your best friend.

Re: Poor Man's Fishing Kayak
I'd have to say that was pretty bad azz. A lot of thought went into all this and the video was cool too. I am in the language of the modern day kids ballin on a budget too. I'm ridding cheap until I can upgrade but it doesn't stop me from hanging with this seasoned crew. You took a Honda CRX and turned it into a hummer. Good job man. The tool box / bait well was my favorite.
