Review: Santa Cruz Raptor

Every now and then, a product comes on the market that challenges the conventional wisdom about what’s “cool” and what’s usable. The Santa Cruz “Raptor” is such a product. At first glance, it looks like the child of a Dutch shoe and a toboggan. Those of us who use SOT kayaks probably wouldn’t even give it a second glance. Jim Martin, the owner of Santa Cruz kayaks and creator of the Raptor recently sent one of his kayaks to me to demo, and after looking it over like it was a space alien, I did demo it. It was awesome!

Sea Island Sport - Chesapeake Light Craft

My stepfather recently returned home from a trip to Baltimore bringing the Chesapeake Light Craft catalog home for me. Now I have to admit that when I first saw this catalog I thought that the concept of building my own boat was very cool but that it probably wouldn’t work out for me since most of these kayaks are Sit-in-Kayaks (SinKS) made more for touring than for fishing. That was before I turned the page and came across the Sea Island Sport! This is a do-it-yourself Sit-on-Top kayak that we YakAnglers can utilize while kayak fishing.

Sit-In VS Sit-On-Top Kayaks

Once you start checking into kayaks for fishing you’ll learn there are basically 2 types of kayaks. There are Sit On Top (SOT) and Sit In Kayaks (SIK). Each type has models that fish well and ones that don’t.

A Great Kayak Fishing story

Last week we posted the story about Dave Lamoureux and his 157lb Bluefin Tuna caught in Provincetown from his SINK (sit in Kayak). This is truly an awesome kayak fishing story of how big accomplishments can come from such a small boat. Lamoureux who was attempting to beat the bluefin tuna record came up short by about 30 pounds but his 157lb tuna still set the record of a bluefin caught from a kayak. The giant fish took Lamoureux for a “sleigh ride” for about 3 hours which put him a good two miles off shore. As I was searching the web this morning I came across the video and wanted to share with all of you.
