: I have been a lurker all over the net in fishing forums and site - I admit
: it. I am dying to get into the kayak fishing craze but am not able to
: purchase a prefabbed-plastic-thing. I don't like their price and I would
: rather put some of my amateur woodworking skills to task.

: I am used to bass fishing from a solid bass boat and trout fly fishing while
: wading. I am looking for a wooden kayak alternative that I can take pride
: in the craftsmanship and get to some of the smaller backwaters that TN
: affords.

: I am looking for a plan that affords the following: * Either sit on top or
: larger open style
: * ~ 12'
: * Ability to outfit w/ rod holders, anchor system, and accessories
: * Light and easy to transport

: Can anyone point me in a direction for a specific fishing style kayak? I am
: getting frustrated and turned around trying to find something that has
: fishing in mind.

: Thanks in advance,

: Todd

Search the board. Someone posted extensively within the last year or so, showing a stitch and glue hull that was specifically for fishing. He seemed to be very pleased with it. You could do the same boat, or maybe a strip version, if there were station molds to be taken from the plans.
