Paul C's Retrofitted W Fishing Kayak, Connecticut

Paul is a mechanical engineer who works in a research and development institute in Connecticut.
He recently purchased from its first owners one of the very first W kayaks that got on the market (hence the different handles and graphics) and set to turn it into a 'fishing machine'...
Armed with some advice and 'stuff' he got from us Paul repaired his boat, buttressed its spray deflector and cast floatation in its tips.  He also outfitted it with whatever it takes to take on fish in both freshwater and saltwater.

Paul's first account:
-"I took it out last night for my second outing, remembering the tip on the riding vs sitting position I was much more stable than before.  Casting with the fly rod wasn't a problem either. 
I stood a couple times while holding the rim just to get the feel of the change in balance.  After paddling and fishing for about 90 minutes I really needed to stand straight, so I did, and I paddled slowly while standing.  It was great. While standing and paddling toward the launch I passed a couple of young guys sitting on the bank, fishing.  Later, while packing my gear, those two guys came over to take a look.  They certainly were intrigued and amazed at how narrow it was. They thought it would have been wider after seeing me standing in it.  They were also a bit surprised when they found out it was my first time doing so."
