When are you hitting NC and passing down to FL?

Perhaps a stop in GA might be of interest. We've got some great bass fishing.

Regarding inflatable kayaks, I've taken one around the world because it is a heck of a lot easier to transport than a fiberglass yak. As well as repair. Consider researching Advanced Elements inflatable yaks. Specifically;

StraightEdge Angler http://www.amazon.com/Advance-Elements-A...ight+edge+kayak

and their AE1012-R Advanced Frame http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Elements-...nflatable+kayak

The Angler is designed for fishing with a nice wide open leg area and rod holders, while the AE1012-R is more sporty better tracking and you can use the top over legs for work area. Check 'em out.
