Question:
am thinking about purchasing either Pamlico Excel (adding the fishing opption)
I purchased a Pungo for fishing last spring, and spent quite a few summer evenings on small lakes in my area. I am more than pleased with it. It’s quite stable and easy to paddle. It’s hull has hard chines, so you won’t be turning on a dime, but it tracks well. You have to be a bit careful where you position the rod holder. That’s the one piece of equipment that could get in the way of your paddling. E-mail me if you’d like more info. Chuck
Response:
Thanks for the reply, did you buy the your boat with the fishing package installed? I have never used a kayak and need to be able to also paddle upstream on slow flowing river, so you think this boat is still a good choice? thanks pjb – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – am thinking about purchasing either Pamlico Excel (adding the fishing opption) I purchased a Pungo for fishing last spring, and spent quite a few summer evenings on small lakes in my area.

Paul: I installed the the package myself. Nothing to it. As far as paddling upstream on a slow flowing river, that should be no problem. What kind of fishing do you have in mind? Also, do you live anywhere near Wisconsin by any chance. There’ll be some good deals on Pungos at a kayak show there in the near future (no I’m not selling). Chuck
Response:
I HAVE THE PUNGO WITH OUT THE FISHING OPTION I LOVE IT ITS STABLE AND IT HAS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MY FLY FISHIG GEAR ITS A GOOD BOAT EASY TO HANDLE AND CONTROLL AND YA GOTA LOVE THE LARGE OPENING IN IT I PERSONALY WOULD PICK THE COLOR YOU WANT AND ADD THE EXTRAS AS YOU SEE YOU NEED THEM BOU IF YOU WANT TO STAND UP TO CAST YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK OUT WWW.TRIBALANCE.COM BUT I CAST A 8 FT FLY ROD SITTING DOW OUT OF MY PUNGO GOOD UCK SIK

I am thinking about purchasing either Pamlico Excel (adding the fishing opption) or the Pungo Angler. First does anyone have a used one they would like to sell? Second, what do you think of either of these boats? Third, how stable are they and are they good to fish out of? Fourth, does the added fishing hardware get in they way of paddling? Last, How difficult is the Pamlico Excel to paddle solo? Any Help? Thanks

I have used them both before. I used to sell these for a living. Second, what do you think of either of these boats?
I think you have made excellent choices in both boats. The Pungo seems to have been the most popular with fisherman in my past seeling days. Third, how stable are they and are they good to fish out of?
Very stable and very good to fish out of. They both have excellent initial and secondary stability. Fourth, does the added fishing hardware get in they way of paddling?
No. Just don’t add it where you think it may get in the way. You can add as much hardwear as you want to make the boat’s use exactly for what you want to use it for. Last, How difficult is the Pamlico Excel to paddle solo?
It’s not hard at all but turning it is a bit harder on your own just because of it’s length. On top of that you can take another person or even a dog with you at anytime you want. That’s the negative of the Pungo. The positive is that it will turn easier than the Pamlico. Courtney

this website says nothing of flyfishing or even sportfishing for that matter. maybe you should read it. it’s about the worldwide fishing fleets (commercial you idiot) are devestating fish populations worldwide especially species such as tuna. i’d think if you were going to post URL’s they ought to support your wacko beliefs. please show where flyfishing has caused "the devestating effect… on overall fish population statistics." c’mon, i dare you, you PETA twit. you are a liar, plain and simple.

have you tried to flyfish? and how do computer generated hooks make newcomers fish as well as seasoned flyfishing veterans? you again don’t know what the hell you are talking about.

Why must we sacrifice the pleasant and entirely natural life-cycle of an innocent fish for our own pleasure, not to mention the fact that we take food off a hungry child’s plate?
how does flyfishing take food off a hungry child’s plate? maybe somebodies casting flies in third world countries snagging food off poor childen’s plates. get over it. if we eat a fish we catch, we are in fact leaving more food for your poor starving children campaign. btw, you are probably against medical research using animals, so how dare you try to use children as a weapon against us. your policies result in many dead children dying because researchers cannot cure diseases. fuck you.

I have many generations in my family that were avid field sportsmen, including hunters, but while I don’t condone the killing of animals for sport you must realize that people must be fed, and systems such as aqua culture will not provide enough product to feed the masses, what we need is control of the population and not the animals.

except timbo’s allready in your camp, until he realizes that you wackos actually want to ban all fishing, all hunting, and all use of animals in any regard… regardless of whether a fishing releases or keeps his catch or does a little bit of both (that selective harvest thing). james allen andrews (professional idiot, amateur naturalist) wants all fishing to be banned… to hell with all that sportfishermen and the groups they join (TU, FFF, WA Trout, CA Trout, etc.) do to protect and restore fish populations worldwide. he is an enemy to restoring fish populations in the united states and the rest of the world. he thinks that if we don’t kill a few fish everything will be allright. hey james, the real problems facing our fisheries are habitat destruction and commercial overharvest. switch to facing those issues and your professional idiot title may disappear, and you might just make some sense. so long wacko, go eat some tofu, chris

Jim, I looked at the site you indicated. Where does it say anything about flyfishing? Not much thought in your weenieassed post. Just because you mean well doesn’t mean you know anything. Show me any study, published anywhere, in any language, by anyone, that says flyfishing is responsible for the imminent extinction of any fish species and I will read it and discuss it with you. Until you can come up with even one lameassed bit of evidence, you are masterbating in public. Im sorry but as you mature you will run into many mean people like me who have limited patience with fools. Unless you are willing to put some learning effort into your interests, you may want to look for a more suitable avocation than "naturtalist" as an outlet for your need to share your ideas with others. Perhaps some areas where opinions are perfered over facts. A few suggestions are religion, politics, corrections, educational policy, folk dancing, Now the other part. If you post more of this crap in a fishing site I care about I will kill every third fish I catch in your name. I catch many fish in a year. You personally will be responsible for their deaths because you pestered me. Get it?

There is an Orvis store in Asheville that can give you some suggestions. There is fishing in the Smokey Mts Natl Park and on a TU maintained stream south of Asheville. There are beautiful streams in the park, with few fish or small brookies, and some bigger streams with respectable fishing (Oconaluftee). Overall, you’ll be enjoying the scenery as much as the fishing. Tom Large
