Pelican Catch Mode 110 Premium Angler Kayak - Fishing Kayak with Lawnchair - 10.5 ft

The kayak is laid out wonderfully. It ticks every box I was looking for. The rod holder and bungee placements are ideal. It's nice and sturdy.I use it for fishing and I needed for it to be robust enough to carry my dog and gear. I'm about 200lbs. and the dog is about 100lbs. It's surprisingly stable with both us and a little tackle on it. The scuppers do not overflow at 320 lbs. I take the front net off when I take the dog with me and it's plenty of room for him to occupy without being all over me or between by legs. The seat is awesome, I love the little pocket and slots. It's still very comfortable after several hours in a row. The hole in the front middle of the where the strap holds the seat down is the perfect size to chunk empty beer cans through. They get trapped under there and don't slide around the boat. I did purchase some 3/4" rubber cane feet for the seat, I think I spent $4 on them. I would recommend that, but get some skinnier ones if you can. Poke an air hole in them if you're having trouble getting them all the way on. The skeg is very helpful and makes a difference. I've backed into things a few times and it kind of just pops up and dislodges from its mount, but it hasn't been damaged. Sometimes you gotta land to set it again is all.I load it up in a short bed Colorado. It fits great and very secure when loaded backwards and strapped through the scupper in front of the seat. Loading and unloading is quick and easy because it's light enough to jerk around with one hand. I got the Pelican brand cart designed for it too, and it makes it all that much easier.The shipping did suck. It was delivered in great condition with some neat protective plastic, so it's not too big of a deal. This issue was that the delivery date was rescheduled so many times. It took over two weeks longer than agreed upon to arrive. It's an inconvenience and annoyance, the anticipation was nerve-wracking. At the end of the day though, I'm glad it arrived safe and it's a great fishing kayak.

Ok 1st lemme say this is my 1st kayak and I’m 45. I have bad shoulders so I doubted I could even paddle. This is amazing and the Skeg really works good to get you moving forward. I may put a motor on it and get it registered , since it came with a Hull Identification Number . For less than 1000 you can’t do better for a fishing entry level kayak you can upgrade like crazy. I’m getting to all the spots I couldn’t before and haven’t fell off yet ( knock on wood). I think this is pretty great and if you’re thinking about it just do it. Highly recommended for physical fitness and mental well being . Seat is crazy comfortable and I could sit in it all day.. I can’t wait to go out again… the storage , the stability, the price and mostly the quality is a win where I’m from.

Love the kayak.Shipping through NSD was not a good experience. Was supposed to arrive on a Tuesday and it never was marked out for delivery. It was delivered the next day which was not too bad. Once I opened the seat it was damaged. A new seat replacement is 164 dollars and Amazon gave me 126 dollars credit. All in all it worked out.

Its light...Its very stable...very solidly built...It has an incredible amount of room on the deck front and back...Awesome color I got the titanium...The seat was a huge selling point...I love that it flips down to let me ride higher but when I do this I will need a seat pad I can tell you that...All the straps are very easily setup...so are the handles and the having the scupper is such a plus! Great front Pelican Hood Ornament on it as well....Overall if I gave a perfect rating before using something I would have done that but I will ad to my review as I use it a few times. Adding a little bit to the review...I bought a double Rad kayak hanging systems for the rafters of my garage and it works great...the kayak was very easy to lift into position...It was light...stable with 2 straps both wrapped all the way around it...I love this kayak...I will ad more to the review as I use it more...Thank you

The media could not be loaded. I love this kayak more and more each time I take it out. You can do a 180 pretty easily with minimal effort that too can be bad as you're rear will try to drift around alot without the skeg down.It's tracks pretty straight for under 11' with the skeg down. Main benefit to me is all the large flat space on it. You can toss a milk crate behind the seat 💺 and there's room on each side.During a lake camping trip I probably had 200 pounds of glamping stuff and fishing tackle and my friend even had to toss a bag on the front because his was over loaded. It'll hold weight well and you don't feel worried about tipping over at all it's almost 3 feet wide.It's down sides are it is slow you will not win any speed race with it. It is almost too wide I rub sides with my paddle and it's 96" inches. It is alot of money for a plastic boat essentially. I waited till it was on sale. The seat can be comfortable but after a few hours it's like any seat you want to stand. Not really worth it on the ground outside of the kayak but an option.Things I love it can hold any amount of gear safely. I was picking up cinder blocks off a gravel bar because I could lol even on holiday weekends boats flying down the river their wake doesn't bother me at all. If you carry to much stuff or like to pick things up as you paddle along this is the perfect kayak 👍 👌

Hear me out on this one. Took a month for the kayak to arrive after I ordered it. When it arrived the packaging was in shambles and the skeg (rudder) was broken. I tried contacting Pelican but their website said the serial number I had was invalid. I tried calling (x4) and each time after about 18 minutes the elevator music would stop and the phone would hang up.All that said, I contacted Amazon customer service on Wednesday and by Friday I had a new kayak. Intact and pristine. Best customer service ever! Pelican will never get my business after this but I'm in for the long haul with Amazon!
