    All manners of watercraft

    I fished out of a kayak the day I was there. Saw everything from that to a johnboat being paddled with a kayak paddle, to small bass boats with trolling motors, and the little plastic two-man boats...

    Moken 10 Lite

    Great looking kayak. I have a Moken 10 Lite I picked up last spring. They make great fishing yaks. You won't win any races in it, but its very stable and easy to maneuver.

    I do have a GPS - has FHS 4.0 on it, too. I use it religiously. That would be terrific if you're able to.
