I like that Vessel on the deck. Really nice fishing/trapping/shooting rig! Does it have steering with foot pedals?View attachment 563145View attachment 563146I am a river rat. A couple of pics of some of the river vessels.
Pay your local sporting goods a visit and check out their offerings. They can provide you with pertinent information based on your needs and budget, etc.I'd like to get a canoe. Float, camp and fish down smaller, somewhat quick rivers. Possibly some lake use but not likely or often. Some duck hunting but for that it'll mostly just be walked beside and used to keep the kid and decoys in.
What type or style am I looking for? Aluminum, plastic or fiberglass? Will be transported on top of SUV and loaded up there, mostly with little to no help.
Any advice is appreciated.
No pedals. I go to a lot of skinny water in places with rapids and rocks. Pedals wouldn't last long. Last weekend was the first paddle with the Shoalie. It is longer and heavier than the CK1, but it also a more stable and great tracking kayak. I'm really impressed with Crescent kayaks. Great price point and ready to get out in the rivers.I like that Vessel on the deck. Really nice fishing/trapping/shooting rig! Does it have steering with foot pedals?
Thanks. That looks very handyOL RED, This is what I use for hauling my canoe. One man operation to load and unload.

I like the configuration. I saw a lot of fishing Kayaks when I lived in Hawaii. Some had foot paddles for steering. I knew friends thar would go out and hookup to a big Yellow Fin or Alua - Great Trevally and pull them around for hours trying to get them to the kayak.No pedals.
