This is the second boat I have purchased after buying one last year for my son. The boat is highly rated and did a lot of homework before buying. We use this to fish back bay fishing and crabbing. It's a great stable boat and you get a lot for the price point. It's also easy to load since it's only 10 feet long making it a lot lighter than larger boats.

More time to fish
I had an old aluminum canoe that had been a great fishing canoe, but at 86 pounds I could no longer handle it. The Pelican Catch Classic 100 weighs only 58 pounds and slides easily on and off my truck. Plus, I 've already caught a lot of fish. I use a seat cushion that adds about 3 inches to the chair of the kayak and puts me up a bit higher. The kayak is great for about 2- 2. 5 hours of fishing. I have n't had it out in much wind yet, but it handles pretty well.

This is the 4th Lifetime Kayak I ’ ve owned. It ’s by far the most stable which is crucial for somebody such as myself who frequently has one of my young kids or my petite Labrador retriever abroad. Sometimes both at the same time. I can comfortably maneuver around to grab/move gear around while on the water. The seat is very comfortable which makes it ’s easier when paddling for long periods of time. The only thing I ’ d change is the weight of the kayak. Aside from that, I highly recommend it to anyone seriously considering it for leisurely paddling, fishing, or even hunting out of

[ The manta angler exceeded my expectations. I have owned 2 other kayaks and this is the first kayak I didn ’ t feel like was going to tip over when I am in choppy water or catch waves from bigger boats, which is important to me because I usually fish bigger bodies of water. I stood up in it and casted and felt very comfortable doing it. I like where Lifetime placed the wheels on this because it is easy to move around on solid ground and the kayak doesn ’ t want to tip over because how far apart they placed them. The Manta is surprisingly easy to paddle for how big it is and tracks very well. My favorite feature is the four rod holders on the back. I put a fishing net in one of them and put three rods in the others. I like that I can keep the rods out of my way while paddling to my spots and can easily get to them when I am ready to fish.

I had the opportunity to be chosen to receive and review the new Manta Angler from Lifetime Products. Took it out for a couple hours before we got rained out. I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of paddling and how well it tracked. I expected it to be more cumbersome with the width and shape but it performed alot better than anticipated. It even glided with decent momentum when not paddling. Same thing with turning. I did n't have a problem maneuvering it around. The stability standing up was amazing. I felt quite comfortable moving around and never felt `` tippy, '' or like I had to compensate for balance. The stand assist strap is great. I really like the front bar for an anchor and like the addition of the 2 pole holders behind the seat to make 4. I 'll probably use the extra to put my nets. The handles we 're great for loading/ unloading. The wheels underneath are nice for ease of maneuvering around while getting ready, but I would question the longevity of the plastic material and would n't rely on it too much for long- distance transport. The rear storage well did seem a little shallow upon first look, but after taking it out, I feel the stability makes up for that. It does have a ton of space and overall deckspace, which is awesome. I 'll probably add a couple of padeyes to the center of the kayak to hook stuff to. The gear tracks are made of plastic but feel solid. The front gear tracks and rod holders are a little too forward to comfortably reach on the water but could be used for different things or Gopros when banked. Same concept with the front hatch, but that's typical with front storage on all kayaks. The stability DOES allow you to crawl forward and reach them or reach them while standing. The adjustable footpeg design and being able to adjust the distance while sitting is great. The trolling motor mount I have n't installed yet( I dont own a trolling motor) is a great feature as I see a lot of people rigging their kayaks trying to figure out how to mount one.( I might actually buy one now that im getting older.) I did choose to use the paddle that came with it because, well they 're nice enough to provide one and was actually quite impressed with it. Lifetime stepped their game up with the paddle. I felt little to no flex and never felt the need to switch to the spare paddle I brought. Overall, I really like the kayak and will definitely get a lot of use out of it. I feel they definitely hit the nail on the head for what it's advertised as. A super stable fishing kayak at a great price.

I received this beautiful Quest kayak from# DicksSportingGoods so that I could check it out and review it for y'all. This kayak is 10 ft and weighs right at 47 lb. It came in a versatile Orchid color. I really liked how dark the grays and purples are, alongside the vibrant pinks. The first thing I noticed about this boat is how light it was. You can just pick it right up on your shoulder and there are padded handles( actually knee pads which makes this doubly wonderful) so you could carry it with no issue. As it's weighted evenly, it balances well; it feels like it weighs practically nothing. I could walk a mile with this boat on my shoulder. After I cut the plastic off, I took some pictures and noticed that I needed to remove film from the decal of the word Outlands. Be careful when you pull it off and do pull at an angle, so you wo n't pull any of the letter edges up with you. The letter' L' is very thin and if you go straight at it, it 'll peel up, too. You can see from the picture, I had the film at an angle and I had no more problems. I had to look longingly at the boat for almost a week in my yard because it was so cold out and I just could not get my old self out onto the water. But eventually this 69° day came around and I headed out to play. I easily loaded it up and secured it with a cable through a scupper hole and took off. On the way I stopped to gas up and the girls beside me were quick to let me know they wished I had another boat, so they could come too. That feels good, guys. When I finally got on the water I could n't help noticing how easily the boat handled; there's a definite improvement over my sit- on- top and I had no trouble cutting against the wind. The Quest Outlands has a padded backrest and I was actually able to adjust it for comfort. Being able to change that up was the best. It was a simple addition but it matters bc it can change pressure points after a few hours on a lazy river. I 've never had a functional dry well and it was a real game- changer; I felt safer with all my electronics being in there. I did not go fishing so I did n't use the rod holders nor the rear well. There are knee pads in addition to a ton of knee room to spread out in and I did n't get that claustrophobic feeling that comes after being in one too long. The foot wells are perfectly situated to be out of your way when you do n't need to use them. They did not bother me at all. I have longer legs and I had plenty of room to stretch out. When I got back to the bank, I did n't have to fight with it to get the water out because there's a drain plug which is just extra convenient and makes it easy to load. Overall, I love this boat and I 'd absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting an upgraded kayak at a bargain price point. I named her Rhoda.

I 'm very much a novice when it comes to kayaking, so I was sure to stay on flat water. Favorite features: Handles easily in water Paddles are sturdy Love that it has a dry storage area( thought it was a fish holding spot at first) Big back area to store dry bag and other larger items Concerns: It's heavy for me so if going out by myself, I will have to figure out a method to haul it on my own. Husband carted it for me..

Highly impressed with the Quest Outlander kayak! The ample leg space ensures comfort during long paddling sessions, and the smooth paddling experience makes every journey enjoyable. The built- in dry storage keeps belongings safe and secure, while the convenient fishing pole holders make angling hassle- free. Plus, the seat is incredibly comfortable, allowing for extended adventures on the water. A top- notch kayak for both leisure and fishing enthusiasts!

I had the opportunity to take my Quest Outlands 100 Kayak from Dick's Sporting Goods out today for a little fishing trip. Getting into the kayak and onto the water was extremely easy for me, thanks to a dedicated kayak launch that I used at a local park. I 've never used a sit- in kayak before, so I assumed that it would not be too stable... but I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong, and it was probably the most stable kayak that I 've ever used while in the sitting position. There is a nice bucket holder in the back, which allowed a place for my smaller 3 gallon bait bucket. It was just at the right height to turn in my seat and get a live shrimp out to bait my hook. Even though it was overcast much of this afternoon, I still found myself getting thirsty while paddling out to the mangrove islands to fish. I noticed the well- positioned water bottle holder, which perfectly held my Yeti bottle and kept in at arms reach. I even utilized the built- in phone holder with the attached bungee to do a Facebook live video while on the water. My favorite part of the kayak was the built- in fishing rod holders. They were deep enough to store my moderately long rod handles, and easy to turn in my seat to get. The only design change that I would have liked to see would be the direction the rods point while in the holders. They should go straight back, instead of to the left& right of the kayak. I only mention this because I had to wait until I was off of the kayak launch dock to put them into their holders, so they did n't hit anything going out or coming in. The plastic on the built- in side rails( above the knee pads) had a little flex in them after attaching a third rod holder to it, but was sufficient for a place to hold my rod while taking the fish off of the hook. The paddle holder on the side was the nice touch, and I found myself sliding the tip of the paddle under the front bungee cords to hold it in place while I cast my fishing pole. Overall, I really like this little kayak and look forward to going on more trips around our Intracoastal waterways with it.

The Quest Outlands 10 ’ sit- in kayak is a great boat at a very reasonable price. It ’s versatile enough to serve as a lake paddler, mild river runner, or fishing vessel. Pros:- Tracks well in flat water. Does not tend to turn when paddling as some other kayaks will- Large waterproof hatch storage lets you carry a multitude of items without worrying about them getting wet or falling off the boat- Two fishing rod holders come standard, pre installed in the boat- A gear trac rail is installed on the starboard side. These are great for attaching a variety of items such as a fish finder, cup holder, additional fishing pole holders, etc.- A paddle keep comes pre installed on the port side- Phone holder for when you don ’ t want it locked away in storage- Stern and bow have deck storage secured by bungees. Additionally, the stern has a pre- molded spot perfect for keeping a 5 gallon bucket which can come in handy while fishing. The recessed stern storage area also has two scupper holes to allow excess water to drain from it.- Bow& stern handles pre installed for ease of transport Cons:- 275lb max weight limit may not be sufficient for all paddlers. You ’ ll want to keep your weight and all that of your gear at or under 220 for the best experience in this kayak- The cup holder is horizontal, so it will work for closed lid beverages, but not open top ones. The good news is you can always add a cup holder onto the side gear rail system

[ Very impressed with the workmanship of this Kayak. The seat is very comfortable and an all day sit while paddling or fishing is doable. The storage is convenient and keeps my items dry. You can stand to fish with a little practice as this kayak it very stable with the hill design. It is heavier than some cheaper models but the overall plastic thickness of the kayak is much greater than others I looked at. This also makes it more durable and in my opinion will last twice as long as other models. The rail system on both sides works well as well as the paddle holder on the side that is predrilled from the factory. If you are planning on using a fish finder the predrilled spot under the kayak is great for the transducer. Overall an excellent kayak in the mid price range.

I have used this kayak for a few weeks now and I am extremely pleased with the Pro upgrades Old Town has made to the 120 PDL.

It works great if you want to upgrade as you go with a motor or keep it simple and just get out on the lake with the PDL drive.

Covid has been a mixed blessing for us, and probably Old Town as well. In our case, with all the lockdowns going on, we and many more have turned to more outdoor sports. As someone who grew up fishing, kayaks quickly got my interest as the best option to get on the water. Thanks to YouTube I quickly discovered pedal kayaking after many hours, combined with the fact that I 'm a Mainer, Old Town rose to the top of the list. I 'm 68 so I wanted the smallest and easiest to move and haul around, so the 106 was a no- brainer. The bad part of Covid was that even in Maine these boats are hard to come by. I wanted 2 of the Photic Sportsman PDLs, but in the end could only find 1, plus the older identical boat, the Boreal Topwater. There's not much difference, except the new Sportsman seat is great for a large guy like me rather than the older Topwater seat. Ice went out on my small trout pond 2 weeks ago, and I 've been out every nice day so far, ca n't wait to get on a bigger lake! These boats are so stable, ca n't wait to try standing and casting!

I bought this 3 weeks ago but the cold weather and water in New England kept me off the water until today. What a pleasure. My last kayak was a good one. It was a 13 fooot LLBean rebranded Perception sit in kayak with a better than average seat and two rod holders. It was a good kayak but for fishing it lacked. Plenty stable for kayaking but don ’ t reach too far for that 2. 5 lb bass. Don ’ t ask mee how I know.. I am 6 ’ 3 ” ”, 240 lbs( yes my doc doesn ’ t like that) and 66 years old. I found the Sportsman 106 PDL to my a dream. Much easier to in and out of, I can move around and really enjoyed the 3 hours I was out on a lake today. The pedals gave me a good work out. I loved the instant forward/reverse which allowed me to effortlessly hold the kayak in position while a I fished. There was slight breeze which didn ’ t seem to affect the handling. I will report later on a windier day. There was a bass tournament on the lake today and unlike my last kayak, this one handles the wakes from the 200 hp boats wit aplomb whether the wake hit the stern, bow or sides. Just makes me feel a whole lot more confident. As for stability, I stepped off the dock into the kayak and sat down. I was amazed. I did not try stand up as as one gets older ones stability on terrafirma is not as good as it used to be). I enjoyed this day of fishing( although I wish I good brag about the fish I caught) more than any day in a kayak. I was comfortable and could easily move about the boat. That PDL system is awesome. I did paddle through shallow water with PDL raise and yes you get some water in the boat but it goes out the scuttles. The two tool wells in the cockpit area are a small thing but make a bid difference. It was great to have the hook remover, fisherman ’s tool, line cutter etc close at hand. Small thing but great idea. Awesome boat Old Town. Thank you I hope to get years of pleasure out of this.

I am a 78 yr old who recently purchased his first kayak, the Sportsman 106 PDL. I was looking for a kayak to primarily use for nature photography. Considering my age and this would be my first ever kayak, stability was a primary requirement. I wanted to feel comfortable and safe, especially with expensive cameras and lenses. After much online research, I narrowed to Old Town and a couple of other brands. I completed my research with phone calls to the brand customer service reps. Ken Stinson was especially patient with my questions, listened to my desires and concerns and offered honest pros and cons of the Old Town products as related to my stated need. As a result of my online research and Ken's advice, I purchased a Sportsman 106PDL. So far I have had it out four times, all in good weather and water conditions. I quickly found my sweet spot for easy continuous peddling. The kayak has amazing stability, allowing me to twist and turn with confidence to get the shot. I also stood in it my first time out and was very surprised at the stability, although I doubt I will stand while shooting. The peddling, with instant reverse allows me to keep my hands free to catch those quick shots. At 101/2 ft, it fits in the bed of my Ford Ranger pickup. My nature photography and kayaking friend has been amazed by my Sportsman PDL. So far my Sportsman 106PDL has exceeded my expectations.

I bought this kayak last year and could n't be happier. I took it out on a small lake and fished for about 10 hours straight( caught a nice mess of bluegill). I expected my back to get sore, but the seat is so comfortable that I had no issue. I think pedalling is also helpul, as it keeps the blood moving. I ca n't wait to take it out again this spring. There is plenty of storage space and this kayak is very stable and sturdy; I 'm 6' 4 '', 260lbs, had a full cooler and plenty of gear, and had no issue whatsoever. I 'm very happy with my purchase.

Old Town Kayaks are addictive. I started out with a Topwater 120. Then I bought my wife an Old Town Sportsman 106 PDL because she had a hard time keeping up with me as I paddled. I then had to buy myself a Sportsman 120 PDL to keep up with her. These kayaks see a lot of use from long trips around our mountain lakes we live near to hauling them to the Gulf every year for vacation. I am 6 ’ 4 and 220 lbs. and this kayak is stable for enough for me to standup and fish on. No problem with rough waters in the ocean. I have had breakers lapping over the top of the bow and the kayak never loses a step. These are the only kayaks my wife will set foot on. My next step is to add a motor to my original Old Town 120.

Thank you Old Town. I will buy another one in the future.

It's been a couple weeks since we got our Mariner, we 've taken it out a few times already. It take less than 15 minutes for my teenage daughter and I to get it ready, to include the motor mount and motor. It blows up in 5 separate sections, all are easy access and quick to do. Spent several hours out on the lake each time with no issues. We had 3 members in the boat, once you get to 4 it does get a little crowded. Overall for the price it is a quality boat, we are looking forward to using in many more times!

This boat was the best investment iv' e ever made. Took my buddy to a lake for the first ride, and it made our summer the best one yet. This tank can support a large cooler full of drinks and food, two grown men, a 10 lb anchor, a 65 lb battery, a trolling motor, 2 life jackets, and a dry box. I could not believe how easy it was to set up whilst providing a comfortable `` water couch '' like experience. We were on the water for 10 hours and had to be ripped off to go home and live a normal life. This boat has made me acquire a hatred for land. Its too dry. The fact that I can bring a buddy or two in my small sedan, drive out to a lake, and rip this bad boy out of my trunk and have it set up and ready to go within 20 minutes is unbelievable. The price is just baffling for the product you get. Intex could increase the price on this boat, and I would buy it again for no reason at all. Maybe hang one above my mantle. The thick rubber edge guard is made of an extraterrestrial material that allowed us to bump into stones in which we were sure each one was gong to be the last. After our trip last weekend, we have decided we will go every Saturday, and I do not imagine it getting old. I sought to buy an electric air- pump but the high- output pump they provide is honestly good enough. Its like 1- 2 minutes each section if you just power through it. It makes the reward of getting on the water that much better. You know when a product provides its own carrying case, it always seems they sized it to the vacuum sealed packaging, and you can never get it to fit?( e. g a tent) NOT the bag Intex provides. If you just read the instructions and provide the boat with the care they recommend, you will have no problems at all. Cleaning it is a small chore but its part of the luxury of having a boat. I laid it out in the backyard and just hit it with the hose, and used a soft sponge to rub off any stuck dirt. Let it dry out in the sun for a bit, then pack it away. I do n't imagine this boat ripping or popping unless it is the users fault. The floor is even extremely durable. I considered making a wood floor like all of the mods you see on google images, but I do n't see a reason to after trying it. We were mesmerized at the fact you could set a full, open- drink can on one of the floor slats, grab the edges of the boat and vigorously try to rock it back and forth and the can would barely budge. Even if you hate the water, get this boat. The only reason we got wet was by jumping in the lake. We had a blast dropping anchor, throwing on our life jackets jumping in, and just floating on our backs while holding the boats grab line to stay in place. If you 're thinking about buying this boat, just get it. You will not regret a thing.

[ I am so excited to take this boat out on the water!!! This company is highly rated and recommended for having good quality products and this boat is no exception. I can ’ t speak to how it will handle on water as it ’s still freezing for the next month or so in Maine but reviews look great and I can tell it ’s a durable, well made product.

Took it out for river floating yesterday. So far everything great. Had a blast. No problems as yet. Definitely will put in a plywood floor, as it is hard to get in and out of.

We used to have the Mariner 4 and had to let it go during an international move. I like this more because it is lighter to carry, has more sitting space, and the floor is softer to sit on. The only downside of this vs the Mariner 4 is that it can hold less of a motor, but I am not planning to use it with a motor. Another small downside is that if you take some water into your mariner 4 you stay dry because it settles below the floor, if you take enough water into this with kids and dog getting in and out, you start sitting in water, which is not as ideal. Seems strong enough that it is going to last.

We purchased this to float the river and it was perfect! We spent 7. 5 hours on the water, and this boat made for the best day. It's very roomy and durable. There were only 2 of us in the boat along with our coolers, but we could have easily had another person or 2 join us and it would have still been enough space. I would highly recommend this boat!

Hello Friends.... We purchased this Boat with the mount and motor and this is a true review so please read it. The boat overall is awesome and so much fun!! I inflates and deflates super quick and the set up is about 30 min total to be on the water with the motor and mount. Super comfortable and easy to set up and take down. It's pretty heavy but a stronger 1 man can handle it. if not handles allow for 2 people to carry. Here is what I have a problem with....... 1. 5 person??? ummmm i do n't think so...... Maybe if you do n't have a motor and a battery MAYBE.... but it's going to be super tight with 5 ADULTS plus some cooler. I 'll say 4 adults without Motor...... 3 adults with Motor. Or if you have kids no problem 2 adults 2 children. Def. not 5 adults though..... you will not have room to cooler or other items. 2. There should be an canvas roof attachment for separate purchase..... the boat gets super hot in direct sunlight and you pretty much cook. I built my own one so i 'm good on that end but there should be an option to purchase perfect fit one. 3. Pump........ No way that you will like to use the hand pump they should include a electric pump that uses outlet and car outlet. It's a waste of money for them to include that into the box because no one will ever use that. BUY A ELECTRIC ONE... Thank me later. 4. Cup holder........ Again there should be an attachment for cup holders..... they thought about rod holders but not cup holders I mean if you are on the water of course you need water, beer, pop on the boat if part of fun..... so def. would need a cup holder..... but i 've made my own. Overall..... I give 5 stars for this boat cause i 'm handy and i could customize things for this boat you can also YOUTUBE some videos of other people doing cool stuff to the boat. So conclusion.......... Buy this boat with Mount and MOTOR...... Believe me you will need it. And have fun cause it's a fun boat with some extras that you need to get. WATCH some youtube videos and get out there and enjoy nature. CHEEERS!!!

This Old Town 106 power by Minnkota is a game changer. I would compare this to more of a one- man boat as it is so incredibly stable, comfortable and easy to use. Fishing capability and storage organization is so well thought of. It truly provides a hands free fishing experience. Battery life has been great as I can be out for 8+ hours trolling around and still have juice to spare. This is running with a normal Group 27 DC lead acid battery which is also powering my fish finder. The only suggestion for improvement would be to provide an auxiliary power connection for those that wish to run both the trolling motor and fish finder off the same battery. I had to splice in my own auxiliary power connection off the 12V main lead. Other than that this kayak has met my needs right out of the box and I would say is worth every penny. I have had it for 2 months now and every time I use it still brings a smile to my face!

This is the perfect kayak for a left handed person to operate. I almost always troll baits holding my fishing rod with my left hand and adjusting the throttle with my right hand. The sportsman106 mk should be offered with the throttle on the left side for the majority of people who are right handed.

Purchased the Sportsman 106MK in February and I absolutely love it. This is the 3rd, Kayak/ inflatable I have owned, and I know it will be the last. This unit has everything a Kayak fisherman needs, and provides great comfort. I Did n't want the hassle of fuel, motor maintenance, and a large towable boat, this is exactly what I needed. I 've had it in the water several times, and each time, I am surprised with how easy it cuts through the water. Other fisherman constantly comment on the kayak, and ask where I got it. This morning I heard one man tell his fishing partner, as they fished from the shoreline, `` that's the perfect boat ''... I agree! I am so pleased with the responsiveness, the speed and stability, and the comfort. At 6' 1 '' I thought this might be too small, but I was wrong. I have plenty of room for my gear, and can fish in this kayak all day long. Thank you Old Town!

Purchased in May 2021, I upgraded from a paddle kayak when I found my AP120. I love to fly fish and this kayak allows me to slowly troll while standing and tossing flies around. Also the ability to lock into one spot and fish without an anchor is a game changer. The peddle kayaks are nice but not an option for me because I really enjoy standing while fishing most of the time with the option to sit when desired. Kayak is very stable and I feel completely balanced while standing. I use the lead acid battery for the motor and I 'm able to fish two full days on the water sun up to sundown without having to recharge the battery. I 've taken it out approximately 25 times in 5 months now and absolutely love it! Remote is very user friendly and if you hook into a big one you can quickly turn the motor off easily with a push of a button while standing if the fish makes a run directly under your Yak. The only downside is the kayak is heavy especially with a lead acid battery, but a good kayak cart takes care of that. highly recommend.

I went back and forth between The 106 Sportsman powered by MK and the Auto Pilot. I pulled the trigger on the Auto Pilot and I am so glad that I did. Not having to fuss with an anchor anymore is a total game changer. The boat is stable, and super comfortable to be on the water for extended periods of time. There is ample storage and very well though our features every where you look. I fish in south west Florida, and it is incredible to be able to stand and sight fish Snook, and Reds on the flats while controlling the kayak from the remote!!! I would buy this kayak again no hesitation!

I have been fishing from the AutoPilot 120 for about 6 months in a variety of conditions and I am extremely pleased with capabilities of the is kayak. I have always been a bit skeptical of `` motor powered '' kayaks but the technological features of the AutoPilot intrigued me. As someone who does a lot of trolling the ability to maintain a constant troll speed in the face of wind and current is absolutely amazing. I frequently use the heading feature to `` set it and forget it '' and am able to have everything prepped by the time I get to the fishing grounds or get back to the launch. The real magic of this kayak is built into the motor which I power with a lithium 100ah battery. I 've never come close to draining the battery even with 10+ hrs on the water. Deploying and stowing the motor is easy. The deck and storage space is more than ample. The chair is very comfortable. If I had to be nit- picky my biggest complaints would be that the gear track is too far forward forcing me to use extensions on my rod holders to make them reachable when trolling and limited access to the inside of the hull.

My wife and I bought this for occasional use on our yearly trip to the mountains. We wanted a tandem kayak and looked online for a used kayak. We are not professional kayakers so we were n't looking for an ultra performance kayak. A lot of the used kayaks online were in horrible condition. The new ones( brand names) were well over$ 1000. So we found this kayak out our local sporting goods store. We 've had this for 3 years now and everything works as brand new. The kayak is 10ft long so it's one of the shorter tandem kayaks, which is a perk for us. We bought seat pads and the stock seat backs work well. As mentioned this is n't the most performance kayak out there, buts it's does n't cost as a performance one does. For occasional trips to the lakes for fun relaxing floating around the water that does n't brake the bank... This is the perfect kayak.

Just got this a couple weeks ago, in the winter! But of course I had to try it out. A bit breezy but this old guy could still get around the pond.( take a small anchor!) The quality is great, I like the fact it's a 3 layer construction method. I love the assesory rail, it 'll be great for a camera. This little boat fits nicely in the back of my pick- up, with the tailgate down. Using a couple of tiedowns it's not going anywhere. This canoe is about 10 lbs heavier than the kayak it replaced, but that's ok with me. I 'm not too big but can still get it in the truck by myself. Great canoe if you want a solo excursion!

I spent years kayak fishing with different models, each with it's pros and cons. Got this several years back as a spare and for the wife to use on camping trips. Now she wo n't let me use it as she likes it too much. I 'm selling all my kayaks and getting a second one. It's light, easy to load on the truck, holds tons of fishing gear. Quiet on the water, tracks extremely well, fast( faster than any of my kayaks- wow), and looks good to boot. As a note, I 'm on the Gulf coast in Texas. Most of my trips are still water- slow rivers or back bays. This really fits the bill for what I do. It is better than any fishing kayak on the market.

I bought this canoe to be able to take more equipment for over night river trips and this canoe was beyond expectations. I was able to get all the gear loaded and still had plenty of room for myself being 6' 2 '' and 235 lbs. The tracking is excellent and glides across the water with ease and stays straight as an arrow through all the rapids I encountered on the rivers here in Ohio. I have only had it for two weeks and have already logged over 60 miles and two overnight trips. I have a Heron 9XT which is a great little kayak but I have found my new favorite boat even if it is going to be a day trip! My only wish is that it would come with the paddle holder strap on the side as your other kayaks and maybe move the seat back just an inch or two.

I had been considering purchasing a fishing kayak for about five years. So many choices out there! I 've had my PDL 132 for about a month, logged a fair amount of time in it and caught a lot of fish to include a few pretty big ones. Fishing and fighting fish from the seat is very comfortable and fun. Organizing all the gear I need is easy. My cast net fits behind my seat. I removed the carrying handle from a mid sized cooler and replaced it with a triple rod holder using SS screws and 5200. This fits in the generous bed behind the seat and is secured by the bungee cord system that comes with the kayak. One loop over the handle facing forward and the other over the rod holder, securing the cooler to the kayak but allowing me to easily open the lid of the cooler to put fish in. I put two rods and a landing net in those rod holders and a third rod goes in one of the other two aft facing integrated rod holders. I found the rails located forward of the seat to be unhelpful so I removed them and laced a bungee cord back and forth between the screws using SS fender washers to pin the cord down. Now, a tackle box the size of the one that comes with the kayak will easily stow on each side. I fish with one in the port side, two under the seat and use the starboard stowage for pliers, fish grabber and other items I need to get to often. A boat bag easily slips under the seat that holds other misc gear. The universal transducer mount is not universal:-), but it was easy to drill the holes in the removable plate needed to mount my Lowrance transducer. Running the wires was incredibly easy and required no hole drilling that resulted in a professional looking install that only took a few minutes. I mounted my chartplotter/FF to the removable plate located to the right of the pedals and stowed the excess data cable neatly in the space underneath. The power cable is routed under the forward hatch cover not requiring any drilling. Note: when selecting your electronics, avoid a unit with a transducer mounting system that will put the transducer below the plane of the hull or risk damaging it when you drag the craft over anything. The battery stowage bag is sized to fit a small 12V battery. I purchased a 10ah battery which fits very neatly in there, but found I needed more run time and upgraded to a larger battery placed in a stowage box which I am still problem solving for a better solution to prevent it from sliding around the forward hatch. The integrated bow carrying handle is great. I run a tie down strap through it when securing my kayak inside my truck and another strap across the middle, through the side carrying handles to finish the aft secure. This approach is incredibly fast and easy and leaves no doubt that the kayak is not going to slide out of the truck. The aft integrated handles are in the right place and make it easy to get a good purchase on the stern when carrying with another person. While on the water, I use the opening of the forward carry to hold a small anchor. I route the line through the carrying handle, under the round bar of the pedal unit and tie it off to the carrying handle on the same side. The anchor line goes in an anchor line bag stowed in the forward hatch. That anchor is used on every trip whether to dig into the beach preventing the kayak from floating away on a rising tide while I 'm walking the shore throwing the cast net for bait or holding position near a school of fish. A factory integrated anchor mounting system on the bow would be a huge plus. I can really scoot with the pedal system even against a strong current and troll for hours effortlessly, which I must say I did not expect. The rudder friction knob feels a little `` economical '' and I think there is a better system to be had. The stainless screw is slowly cutting the groove it rests in and I find that I need to remove the chips it cuts to keep the rudder control moving freely. Perhaps more of a cam type brake would be an improvement? After looking at so many other fishing kayaks over the past few years, when I saw the PDL 132, I knew why I had n't purchased a fishing kayak until now. After several trips, the differences are even more clear. I am extremely happy with my new Old Town and glad I waited for the right one to take to the dance.

I bought my BW PDL 132 in February and have used it about weekly for a couple of months. I fish tidal creeks and rivers, some open ocean, and freshwater lakes and rivers. I am very satisfied with the kayak. The pedal drive is fantastic! I have found that I anchor a lot less with it because it ’s so easy to maintain position while fishing using the pedal drive and rudder. It ’s incredibly fast and powerful. I have had no trouble bucking strong tidal currents with it. The weakest part of the kayak is the rudder system. It feels clunky and awkward as opposed to the PDL drive, which feels well designed, tight, and efficient.

My Old Town Autopilot 136 in gray Ghost Limited Edition arrived yesterday. Was wrapped nicely in heavy gauge plastic to protect it. After unwrapping and looking it over I found the Kayak to be of very thick and well- built materials. It is a heavy craft but the quality is amazing. Customer service was very easy to deal with and quite helpful getting me the answers I needed. Very spacious kayak and lots of room for everything I want to add. Cons- I wish they gave an option for aluminum rails to replace the plastic ones. Though the plastic ones are strong I just like heavy duty for fish finders etc. I also wish they would list the model number of the included trolling motor to make it easier for looking up spare or backup parts. Would I recommend this kayak to friends? without a doubt.

The Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 has truly revolutionized my fishing experience! After owning this kayak for several years, I can confidently say it ’s worth every penny. The standout feature for me is the Minn Kota trolling motor with Spot- Lock technology. Being able to anchor in place with the push of a button, regardless of wind or current, has allowed me to focus entirely on fishing instead of constantly adjusting my position. The stability of this kayak is unparalleled, giving me the confidence to stand and cast without worry. Its spacious deck and makes it a breeze to organize all my gear, while the comfortable seat ensures I can spend long days on the water without fatigue. What truly sets the Sportsman Autopilot apart is how it transforms the way I approach fishing. I can cover more water efficiently and position myself perfectly for each cast. Whether I 'm exploring new waters or revisiting my favorite spots, this kayak makes every outing more productive and enjoyable. If you 're serious about fishing and want a reliable, feature- packed kayak that will elevate your experience, the Old Town Sportsman Autopilot 136 is a game- changer. I can ’ t recommend it enough!

[ As an angler that has fished in several brands of kayaks I couldn ’ t be more happy with the Autopilot.

Also the Ember color is very visible from long distances. The kayak is very stable, relatively quiet, and just all around cool!

There ’s nothing more in a paddle kayak you that you could possibly need. I like to stand and I wanted room without peddles or a console getting in my way. This kayak gives me so much room and stability that I can stand and turn around with no issues. Fly fishing is no problem either with extra room gained from eliminating the console. This creates a all the room you need for stripping line without the worry of your fly line getting tangled. I would recommend this kayak for anyone.

Oregon Fish Boy
I bought the Old Town Sportsman 120 at Dicks about a month ago and could n't be happier. Been kayak fishing with a cheaper entry- level model the last few years and been wanting to upgrade for a while. Love the stability of this boat and the ability to stand up if needed. The seat is also extremely comfortable and have no issues going long hours on the water. It is a bit heavy and awkward to pick up and carry due to its size so plan to also get a cart in the future. I currently have been able to load and unload it myself into the back of my truck at the boat ramp and carry it into my garage out of my truck when done for the weekends. The included transducer mount did n't work for my Garmin Striker 4 as it would stick out under the hull which I did n't want. I went ahead and mounted with ductseal inside the hull below the bow hatch and that has been fine. The 12 footer has loads of room to pack stuff in the stern and tracks extremely well in the water as well. All around, loving this boat so far and good customer service at Dicks when picking it up.
When it comes to fishing, various types of watercraft can be effective, including kayaks, canoes, and pedal boats. Kayaks are popular for their maneuverability and ability to access narrow waterways, while canoes offer more space for gear and passengers. Pedal boats provide a unique way to fish hands-free, allowing for a more relaxed experience on the water.
Key features to consider when selecting a fishing watercraft include stability, storage options, and ease of transport. A stable design is crucial for standing and casting, while ample storage allows you to keep your fishing gear organized. Additionally, lightweight materials can make transportation easier, whether you're carrying it to the water or loading it onto a vehicle.
Choosing the right size watercraft for fishing depends on factors like the number of passengers, the amount of gear you plan to bring, and the type of water you'll be navigating. Smaller kayaks are ideal for solo trips or tight spaces, while larger canoes can accommodate more people and equipment. Always consider the weight capacity to ensure safety and performance.
Fishing watercraft are typically made from materials such as polyethylene, fiberglass, and aluminum. Polyethylene is durable and resistant to impacts, making it a popular choice for kayaks and canoes. Fiberglass offers a lightweight and sleek design, while aluminum is known for its strength and longevity, especially in canoes.
Yes, certain watercraft are better suited for specific fishing environments.
