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.Mark

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.Originally posted by dpreller View PostLL Bean (Perception) Manatee DLX Angler 9.5'

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!Hurricane Skimmer 128

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.Originally posted by dpreller View Post2018 Hobie Outback (seagrass)

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.
