Looking at buying a used Jackson Coosa for my first kayak. Seems like a great, stable fishing platform but I’m just wondering if it would be suited to fishing in the area as its more of a “river” kayak.
I’m wanting to do mostly flats fishing.
Also looking at Wilderness Systems Ride 115
Any chance you can find a Ride 135? A longer boat is easier to paddle and tracks better
What’s your budget?
Boat drinks, Waitress I need 2 more boat drinks!
JMHO but a Coosa may be the worst yak for around here

Thanks, I went with the ride, I was trying to stay around/under 12ft due to space and travel limitations.
That was my fear with the coosa, ride seemed a little better suited for here.
congrats and welcome to the club.
You from LA lowcountrycajun?
Yep south LA, been here tha last two years for school and trying to finally get out on the water
Nice man. I grew up outside of Baton Rouge in a small town called Denham Springs.
quote:Im from New Orleans and have done some nice duck hunting near Denham Springs. Great part of the world with super people. Spent some time training in BR, Houma and Lafayette as well. I really miss sportsmans paradise! I bought a used ultimate angler tandem and love it for flats fishing here. Very stable, comfortable seats that adjust to different heights and no problem standing and poling /fishing. All in will cost around 1000. I like the tandem because its a bit longer, the front seat is removable and I can take my kids fishing on it. If you go talk to Dolphin Dave at Time out, he might be able to hook you up with an FX which is there new model with even nicer seats. I also have a buddy who has a pedal hobie and he loves not needing to paddle but Ive never tried it.
