I've been wanting a SOT fishing kayak for a couple of years and finally made a decision and bought one.
One thing that kept holding me up was I wanted a kayak that I could easily transport in my old 4 runner. I could load a 12 footer but it would hang out further than I would like. I also wanted a light kayak that I could easily load and also get to the water easily.
Most of the places I plan to fish, I have been fishing for years out of a float tube, so speed/tracking was not a major issue, but I did want something stable enough to stand in and had a comfortable seat.
I ended up with a Pelican Catch 100. There's not much info out there, but I did find enough user feedback and some videos via social media to help me make the purchase. The other Kayak I was considering was the feelfree lure 10. Since the Pelican was lighter, less expensive and had a more open floor space, it won out.
I should be able to get it on the pond next week to check it out.
