Best time of year to buy a fishing kayak/boat for the best deals?

I know fishing seasons vary a lot by location.

Just curious, what time of year do you guys think is actually the cheapest to buy a new fishing boat or kayak?

Do people usually wait for the off-season to shop around for better prices?

Do you guys ever “skin” your kayak or boat?

Been seeing more people wrap or cover their kayaks/boats lately.

Not full storage covers, more like semi-permanent skins / wraps / deck covers.

I’ve always kept mine completely bare, but now I feel like I’m missing out on both protection and custom style.

When it comes to this, do you prioritize looks or material performance

(UV protection, saltwater resistance, easy cleanup, etc.)?

Calling Chicago Local Anglers | Free Dinner & Fishing Chat (Apr 18-19)

Hey kayak fishing enthusiasts!

I’m reaching out to my old fishing pals in Chicago – I’ve got a quick invite for all anglers in Chicago.

I’m free this April 18th - 19th afternoon, and I’d love to treat any of my fishing buddies who’re available to a completely free dinner. We can just sit down, chat, catch up about all things fishing – talk about our recent trips, good fishing spots around Chicago, gear tips, or whatever else we feel like.

No strings attached, just wanting to hang out with the people who love fishing as much as I do. If you’re in the area and have time on either afternoon, feel free to drop a comment or DM me, and we can lock down the exact time and restaurant spot!

Looking forward to meeting up with you guys tight lines!

Anyone down for a casual kayak fishing meetup in FL next week?Dinner’s on me🍕

Hey everyone,

I'll be in Orlando,Florida April 21–27 and figured it'd be cool to get a group of local kayak anglers together for a low-key hangout.

Nothing fancy — just grab some food, talk gear, swap spots, maybe argue about pedal vs paddle ,electric kayak vs small boat, the usual. Dinner's on me, no catch (pun intended).

If you're around that week and interested, drop a comment or shoot me a DM with what days work best. I'll figure out a spot that's central for everyone once I get a headcount.

Cheers 🤙
