I will be getting an Ascend Kayak.  Primarily because I am locked into the Cabelas Ascend Signature Event.  Part of the event is a voucher for a Kayak.  So, I am trying to figure out what Ascend Kayak might be best to fish both Lakes and Coastal Waters (Open Ocean).  If not Coastal Waters, the Puget Sound seems almost like a big calm lake, maybe.

They'll probably take us through the different models. Ultimately, I will need ideas on what to look for, in order to decide what model might handle both environments. As for PS, I just meant that for the most part, I see fairly calm waters unlike coastal areas where you can usually see pounding surf.

Thanks WR.  I Spoke with the Ascend / Cabelas Event rep over 8 months ago and he also suggested thatthe 128T would be my best choice. Previous to that and your reply I was considering the 12T. Just based on walking around the local Cabelas.

There are a couple areas around Olympia - Tacoma where the waters do not seem choppy or surf pounding, so I will be choosing my PS launch points carefully... After several trips when I'm feeling  , then I will explore coastal waters.

Meant to add, I have a file of launch points around Gig Harbor and Tacoma.  You can open it in Google maps or Earth…. This link ought to work:  https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1ZXrKrdrs73Hns-Rbz8e-q9RyEXo-yX5f

One biggie that’s missing is Luhr Point on the south side of the Nisqually…. Be a good one to add.  Tides can rip thru there, so plan ahead.

Thanks you. This will is great.  I live 3 miles from Luhrs  Boat Launch.  Only thing with that area is if you get caught out there on low tide.  I think the mud flats run out quite a ways.

Oh yeah.  I went down there once, and there wasn’t enough water in the nearest channel to put the drive down… Hell, barely enough to paddle out….
