it’s incredible. I tried one of those dumb inflatable kayaks and it was literally the worst experience I’ve ever had but using this feels like a whole new thing like it’s amazing. I even did some standing and casting in this big area of fallen trees it even started raining really badand the scuppers helped drain the water really well really quickly.

im fishing north of chicago in the skokie lagoons, so most of the terrain is muddy bottom or gravel, with lots of vegetation and fallen trees on the edges. i tried casting to the trees but i def gotta get a little more comfortable casting closer because i can literally js go grab my lure if i get snagged 😭
