We do a handful of overnight Delaware River float trips with the yaks and I am able to fit my tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, food, water, clothing, and of course fishing tackle in it comfortably without overloading it. I can also stand in it pretty easily to stretch or scout shallow water, but casting isn't the easiest. I've looked at adding removeable pontoons/floats to make it more stable for stand up casting, but as of yet I havent..

Here is a link to my yak to give you an idea: http://www.perceptionkayaks.com/us/p...und-125-angler

Great!

Thanks Skunk. I will definitely look into yours as well. There are so many out there that it is very overwhelming.
