    hi guys just found this site a few weeks ago. i actually dont own a kayak yet but ive been fishing since i was about 8.been researching fishing yaks for a couple months and thats how i found you. i live in the white marsh area bt will soon be relocaying to the stewartstown pa area.i enjoy all types of freshwater fishing ponds lakes rivers etc, and my main areas for the kayak will be the upper potomac the susky near harrisburg and a few large ponds that I also fish. ofcourse il be reading and learning about new opprotunities on here probably some things i never even thought of.

    Welcome to Snaggedline!

    Smallmouth are fun to catch in upper Potomac and Susquehanna.

    I've never taken my kayak to either spot but I have waded both rivers extensively.

    The smallmouth are usually very agreeable to being caught. You'll have a great time.

          The slayer looks like a really sweet boat. It lost out to a PA for me only because I do a lot of trolling and wanted my hands free.

                Stewartstown Pa. huh? The Susky is in your backyard. If you haven't bought a boat yet, I would suggest a trip to Lancaster County Marine. Nice folks and they have a BIG inventory of yaks. Susky is the Holy Grail of smallmouth fishing in case you don't know that. Most guys up that way won't ever drive past that river to fish the Potomac. The Potomac is a nice flow, but it isn't the Susky.

                Nice to have you aboard!

                    Good that your hitting up your local dealers. Dick's and other big box stores might have better deals but its your local dealer that's going to offer demos and let you paddle test. The Native Watercraft Slayer is a nice boat. Its also an awful lot of money to spend without trying it out first.

                      Obviously I am biased, but I think the Slayer (standard paddle version or Propel version) is a great kayak. Have fun making your final decision then enjoy the new kayak.
