Tarpon 100 too small?
9 Replies
Is a Tarpon 100 too small for bass fishing? Looking to add a SOT to the fleet (currently have a Pungo 120) and wondering if the 10 footer is too small. Thanks.Continue

Chris Hill replied to Steve Bussell's discussion Tarpon 100 too small?"I purchased the Tarpon 100 3 years ago and use it on smaller lakes and the Back Bay in Virginia Beach and love it. I've had it in the Ocean as well, but would probably prefer a 120 or the Ride 115 or 135 if that was my main fishing…"
Bill Schultz replied to Steve Bussell's discussion Tarpon 100 too small?"I've paddled the Tarpon 100 a half dozen days for bass and, no it's not too small.
BUT, it depends what types of water you're fishing. Small Lakes, I like the Tarpon 120 or 140. Actually I use the 140 and Commander…"
"Not really. But, I would have to say a little bigger boat, like the Ride 115, will be much more comfortable and has a lot higher capacity and many more fishing features. That said, I have caught quite a few bass from the Tarpon 100 and I am not a…"
Joe Poole replied to Steve Bussell's discussion Tarpon 100 too small?"There are really 3 boats in the Wildy line-up that would fit your needs. The Tarpon 100 and 120, and the Ride115.

Steve Bussell replied to Steve Bussell's discussion Tarpon 100 too small?"Thanks Parrish. The Ride 115 may be the best compromise. A little long for better tracking and a liitle wider for
more stability. Appreciate the help with the decision."
Parrish Henderson replied to Steve Bussell's discussion Tarpon 100 too small?"Hi Steve,
I have a Tarpon 140...love my boat...but I did look at the Ride 115 before getting this boat. I probably would have gone with the Ride if I didn't live in South Florida and paddle long distances out into Biscayne Bay and…"
Steve Bussell replied to Steve Bussell's discussion Tarpon 100 too small?"Thanks Chris. I appreciate the info. I mostly fish lakes and small ponds, no saltwater. Is the 100 stable enough to stand-up fish? I know that is one of the selling points of the new Ride models."
Chris LeMessurier replied to Steve Bussell's discussion Tarpon 100 too small?"It really depends on what you're going to do with it...where and how you're going to fish. There is no 1 kayak that does everything. Just like automobiles, some work better than others in certain applications.
