very cool setup, I have the same kayak, set it up just like yours, the other changes I made was added a 12 ft outrigger/ pontoon to the right side, purchase this from a company in St Pete, Florida the company is Expanda Craft, they have a lot of options for kayaks and canoes, also added a small deck to the outriggers, also available from this company, this setup is rock solid, I can stand up and fish all day, very little hull movement, I also added a 55 lb trolling motor to the left side and a light weight AGM battery, top speed is almost 7 mph, probably going to put on a honda 2.9 soon, do away with motor and battery, living in florida I had to register the boat, no big deal, the pontoon system goes together in 5 minutes and takes down in less time and fits in a 4x3 bag,

That sounds awesome. Key West is so much fun. Excellent fishing at 7 mile bridge. We did a fun trip at Key West. We did sailing, snorkeling, parasailing, kayaking, and jetsking. It was through Sebago Watersports for on $149 but I have seen it as low as $139.

Thanks, we mainly fish Crystal River Area north to Yankeetown, lots of huge redfish and sea trout, then every 3 months we head to the keys, fish the 7 mile bridge and also boco chica across from the navy base, in an area called the submarine slips.

Would you recommend this kayak I've heard bad about pelican? I've also heard good from them but I was wanting an honest opinion. It's either the strike 120x angler or an ascend fs12t

for the anchor pole could put another para chord to the top for a firmer plant in the sand but that would complicate things.

Hey, was looking to get the 100x as my next fishing kayak, have you tried standing up and fishing in it? is it possible? Thanks in advance!
kaleb.m4
kaleb.m4 - 7 years ago
KayakDIY okay cool thanks for the advice, I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a fishing kayak under our around 700$ Canadian as I am on a little budget, thanks!
KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 7 years ago
+kaleb.m4 possible for very few people. I would say this is not a standing kayak. For similar money a great standing kayak would be a Perception Striker aka West Marine Cayman. Issues with Striker/Cayman would be it is a bit slower but it is CRAZY stable. Price fluctuates a bit but between $500-600. Ascend kayaks are very stable too but I feel Perception is bit better quality. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017NPD02Y/?tag=fbkgrp-20 or other colors http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1R56B4/?tag=fbkgrp-20

My only concern with this anchor where I am on the sound side of Dauphin Island, is that rough water would break fiberglass due to boat oscillation. Have u bet tried the anchor in large waves say in a flat?
B Givens
B Givens - 7 years ago
+KayakDIY ok thanks, appreciate the advice...I've been considering a pole, because my one pound grapple anchor don't hold in full moon current, and the really good anchors cost 50 bucks at least, and I don't think the Lemur Claw would catch well at all......
KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 7 years ago
That would leave 3 feet above water line. Depending on how you anchor or attach to kayak it and how well it is driven into soil it should likely hold you in place. I have used mine in pretty decent current and some waves.
B Givens
B Givens - 7 years ago
+KayakDIY ok, thank you for your quick response. Would you feel comfortable using the anchor poll in a 5 foot flat in moderate waves?
KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 7 years ago
I would be greatly surprised if waves could break this fiberglass rod. I could maybe cause it to pull out or not hold, but highly unlikely it would break.

It is a phenomenal kayak for the money. What I love most is how lightweight it is compared to others. It allows me to take it to more remote locations that would never be possible with my larger & heavier traditional rotomolded kayaks.

is it really not stable enough to stand?
KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 8 years ago
I could likely stand up on it but casting and fishing from it while standing would be very difficult. I have great balance though. I would say it has excellent balance of stability/tracking/speed for a 10ft SOT. If you put some really good outriggers on it you maybe could stand reliably while fishing. In the configuration shown in video I wouldn't stand fish from it.
Jim Gary
Jim Gary - 8 years ago
First time I've seen the strike 100, how is the stability, can you stand on it?
KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 8 years ago
It wasn't designed for standing. It is stable for a SOT and it's size, but I don't think adults will be able to stand up reliably on it.
KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 8 years ago
+Jim Gary You won't be able to stand up well. It is however a pretty stable kayak for its size and class.

KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 8 years ago
+Xavier Jewell PVC flexed way too much and so I didn't like it. For only $18 I got fiberglass and it works really well. All pros use fiberglass poles. The stake out poles you see on shelves for $80+ are typically fiberglass. So for only $18 I built my own! I have links to supplies in the video description above.

ItZ HaVi - 8 years ago
how do u make the pole go and stick in the river Lake or sea bed?
KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 8 years ago
+Xavier Jewell The weight of the pole is enough to make the pole stick into the bottom when dropped. PVC doesn't work well as a pole due to having too much flex.

Pelican Strike 100x is a great all around kayak for the typical angler. It is lightweight yet incredibly durable and capable of handling abuse. The trade off with any 10ft kayak vs 12ft is in the tracking. The 12ft kayak will track a little straighter. Although I will say this 10ft kayak tracks quite well for a kayak of its size. The Pelican Catch 120 is great if you want to pay a little more. It has what I would call an "all day" comfort seat and is stable enough to fish standing. It depends heavily on your budget. You won't go wrong with either one. I have several Pelican manufactured kayaks.

would like to see the build of how to make the anchor pole box. how does it go up and down? thank you I like the video
KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 8 years ago
+Larry Trudell I will try to make a short video on the pole setup and how it was put together. I have another set of parts in the shop and could easily video it. Wife wanted one on her kayak so planned on building another anyway. Might not get to it till next week. Basically buy the electrical box....drill 3/4" holes on top and bottom then about a 5/16" hole for paracord where the pulley will be on the inside. The paracord attaches to bottom of fiberglass pole and goes up into bottom of box and through pulley then out the 5/16" hole. The paracord then continues via padeyes up to paddler and can have a cam cleat or nite ize figure 9 carabiner to hold paracord and prevent unwanted travel of pole.

how does the pole down by itself or some weight in the pole
KayakDIY
KayakDIY - 8 years ago
+pheonix gaming The pole simply uses gravity and its own weight to drop into the ground. The pole is fiberglass and therefore has some decent weight to it. I have substituted cheap pvc anchor poles but they don't work as well. PVC poles are too lightweight, they flex too much, they get messy due to being hollow, & they won't drop down well if you have a cap on top due to air being trapped inside and causing the pipe to float. Thus, I use fiberglass poles. The poles are linked in my video description below the video...or above this comment.

Any time out on the water is a great day for me. When the bite is slow I just start filming the wildlife around me. In regards to the anchor pole setup. I may do another video showing the build in more detail. I actually have parts to build another for my wife's kayak. Let me know until then if you get stuck or need help. It took me less than 10min to build the first pole setup. The mount on the stern was the difficult part due to limited flat surfaces to mount to.
