I refuse to add the FFS....partly because of what Beadle mentioned above about it ruining the fun of it, and partly because I'm cheap. I've only got about $4k in my old Venture, so I'm not putting $2k worth of electronics on it. I've got a [very] basic Lowrance Hook on it with Sonar and DI, along with an old school flasher (that I have no idea how to use), and that's all I intend to have on it. I fish more out of my kayak than I do the boat. I prefer fishing from the kayak, the boat just opens up more opportunity with the range, as well as being able to fish with the kids/friends.

I tell anyone who claims to be bored/burnt out with fishing, go pick up a fly rod. It's basically the fishing equivalent to bowhunting vs rifle hunting. I've even found a few places way back up in creeks around here that are narrow, meandering shallow creeks through grass flats where I can sight-fish bass with my flyrod. If I squint my eyes a little, I can almost trick myself into thinking I'm inshore-fishing for redfish on the coast...it ain't quite the same, but it'll do in a pinch till I can get back South. I fly fish from both the kayak and the bass boat.
