Mike's Wilderness Systems "Tarpon 140" model of kayak is one of the fastest fishing kayaks in use today. The Tarpon line has definite lines in the hull that follow the lines of the traditional greenland touring kayaks and they get alot of their glide or speed from that fact. Currently, Wilderness Systems make a 100, 120, 140 and 160 model of Tarpon. They are a high quality build kayak that with a few accessories is ready for kayak fishing where you may be paddling long distances while fishing.

Here is a good overall photograph of this Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140 model of fishing kayak. You can see the hard chines and rocker built into the hull of the kayak making it a definite performer for kayak fishing.

Here is a good fishing cockpit view of this model of kayak. You can see the center console running up the middle of the cockpit that can be utilized for mounting accessories such as fishing finders, GPS units, fishing rod holders and more. In case you're wondering, the rod holder assembly and fishing finder mount are R.A.M. mounts that utilize a ball and knuckle swiveling mount arrangement.

Nice overall look at how you can setup this kayak for fishing. It has very clean lines and a deck layout that can accommodate many types of fishing accessory mounts. Nice flat deck space is always welcomed when setting up a kayak for fishing.

Before purchasing a kayak for fishing, taking things like hatch and tank well size into consideration will pay off when it comes time to start rigging up your kayak for fishing.
