Kayak Update

Capt. Butch Rickey
August 29, 2010
Pine Island Sound - Saltwater Fishing Report

Things are moving slower than anticipated or wanted toward getting the kayak fleet stood up. Seems like everyone is low on inventory. Shipment of two of my kayaks has been delayed. Hopefully, they will ship this week. Getting trolling motors has also been a problem. Both brands were back ordered with a long delay for shipment. Finally, I changed the order to different motors on the promise they would ship last Monday. They were also back ordered to September 9.

The Malone kayak trailer did come last Monday, and I spent two days in the heat building it. Took the next two days to recuperate! It's ready to carry up to 4 kayaks. Most all the accessories are in and ready to go. So, now I'm waiting on the most important things; boats!

I have the Talon listed for sale, but the market is totally flooded with flats boats, and I've had no inquiries. I will continue to offer trips in her for as long as I have her, but the emphasis is on kayak fishing.
