kayak vs. flatstalker

im tired of my limited fishing areas. The life of the walk about angler sucks. alot of my friends now have boats, and yeah fishing with them is great, but the thing is that u have to go on their schedule. so im going to put and end to this, and plan to get a portable boat (which is nothing like a real boat, its just a kayak) so i guess i should say i plan to get a kayak, ooorrrr a flatstalker. ( ) so in this blog were going to do kayak vs flatstalker.

VS


ive been doing research on kayaks for almost 3 years now, ever since i worked at academy sports and outdoors ive wanted one. ive recently found a really good deal on one online right now. at http://www.hotkayaks.net/ there locations are by austin and by dallas. the one i have my eyes set on is the Heritage Redfish 10, it has nothing but good reviews and from looking at the specifications it looks like a perfect fit for me at only $389 with an additional 10% discount. here are some pictures and how i found it Here are the negatives: i would still have to buy a paddle and other accesories; in kayaks i have to sit most of the day, fishing at standing in the kayak would be a hard task; and then all the paddling to get from fishing spot to fishing spot would be a work out ( pro or con, u decide)

now for the other option which is the Flatstalker. i first found out about the flatstalker in 2006, when it first hit the market. i met these two brothers at the houston boat show and they told me they have patent a stand up fishing kayak. the idea of it was cool, it was everything i wanted. how may you ask? heres a link pretty cool huh. so with this set up i have a sit on cooler, i can walk around and i dont have to paddle if i had on a little trolling motor to the back! fishing standing up vs fishing sitting down is no competition standing up is 100% advantage. this thing rocks! it even comes with its own paddle, and the cooler also houses tackle storage. here are the disadvantages: i dont know exactly how stable it is, the website says its super stable and even has videos of guys jumping on them in the water and riding through water rapids on it standing up, i believe it but not all of it. i think it is stable if i stand and walk and jump on it, but i dont think it would be stable if i was riding it through a channel with waves, but a kayak can make it through waves no problem; the other disadvantage is the price. when i first met the inventors of the flatstalker they were really coool, just two guys new to the market and they understood i was a broke college student and offered me one of the first ones for only 700 dollars! man i should of taken it. but now the flatstalker has blown up and everyone wants one so now they cost 1000 bucks. i saw one of the guys again when they came into academy he was a jerk. oh and i would have to pay an extra couple hundred to add on the trolling motor.

so what do u guys think? and when i say u guys its prolly just 3 of yall.


in other news,

the hard drive on my labtop crashed just a week before my finals. i was going to tell my prof. to see if i could get some sympathy, but before i could he told the class the hard drive on his computer had crashed the night before but not to worry because he had everything saved on a flash drive, and anyone who didnt would be " a complete idiot" .......well im a complete idiot. whos screwed now.


last week i was driving home on hwy 6 about 12 in the afternooon, when this car infront of me started swerving into the opposite oncoming traffic lanes, and they had no intentions on slowing down. so hes on hwy 6 going southbound just driving towards all these cars and all these cars are dodging him or her. man i wanted to see what the outcome was going to be but the turn into my neighborhood was up so i turned in. so heres my question to you all. do u think it was a dumb kid just being stupid in there car? someone who could have been messed up on drugs preciscrption drugs or illegal drugs dont matter, or maybe just someone who was really old, or someone who wanted to kill themselves but didnt have the balls to go all the way with it? or any other options? it was a gold colored chrysler, what scenerio do u guys think it could have been? feel free to add ur own ideas.
