Pelican Catch Mode 110 Kayak

The kayak is laid out wonderfully. It ticks every box I was looking for. The rod holder and bungee placements are ideal. It's nice and sturdy. I use it for fishing and I needed for it to be robust enough to carry my dog and gear. I'm about 200lbs. and the dog is about 100lbs. It's surprisingly stable with both us and a little tackle on it. The scuppers do not overflow at 320 lbs. I take the front net off when I take the dog with me and it's plenty of room for him to occupy without being all over me or between by legs. The seat is awesome, I love the little pocket and slots. It's still very comfortable after several hours in a row. The hole in the front middle of the where the strap holds the seat down is the perfect size to chunk empty beer cans through. They get trapped under there and don't slide around the boat. I did purchase some 3/4" rubber cane feet for the seat, I think I spent $4 on them. I would recommend that, but get some skinnier ones if you can. Poke an air hole in them if you're having trouble getting them all the way on. The skeg is very helpful and makes a difference. I've backed into things a few times and it kind of just pops up and dislodges from its mount, but it hasn't been damaged. Sometimes you gotta land to set it again is all. I load it up in a short bed Colorado. It fits great and very secure when loaded backwards and strapped through the scupper in front of the seat. Loading and unloading is quick and easy because it's light enough to jerk around with one hand. I got the Pelican brand cart designed for it too, and it makes it all that much easier. The shipping did suck. It was delivered in great condition with some neat protective plastic, so it's not too big of a deal. This issue was that the delivery date was rescheduled so many times. It took over two weeks longer than agreed upon to arrive. It's an inconvenience and annoyance, the anticipation was nerve-wracking. At the end of the day though, I'm glad it arrived safe and it's a great fishing kayak.

I bought this kayak for my husband after researching tons of canoe, kayak, and small boat options, and this one ended up being perfect for him. It’s light enough for him to maneuver and transport on his own, which was a huge priority. On the water, it’s sturdy and stable, and he’s able to both sit and stand while fishing without any issues. It holds all of his gear with no problem and feels really well-designed for fishing trips. So far, it’s been a great choice and has made his outings a lot easier and more enjoyable.

This kayak is so bouant it would take alot of movement to make it tip over . I can swim but not a great swimmer and I feel very comfortable in it. Also waterbottle pockets great and storage pocket is pretty big to carry backpack or cooler..we love ours . Slightly heavy for us but we are in our 60s . Lots of fun to be out on water to float ,paddle or fishing. Also pockets for fishing poles

Ok 1st lemme say this is my 1st kayak and I’m 45. I have bad shoulders so I doubted I could even paddle. This is amazing and the Skeg really works good to get you moving forward. I may put a motor on it and get it registered , since it came with a Hull Identification Number . For less than 1000 you can’t do better for a fishing entry level kayak you can upgrade like crazy. I’m getting to all the spots I couldn’t before and haven’t fell off yet ( knock on wood). I think this is pretty great and if you’re thinking about it just do it. Highly recommended for physical fitness and mental well being . Seat is crazy comfortable and I could sit in it all day.. I can’t wait to go out again… the storage , the stability, the price and mostly the quality is a win where I’m from.

Awesome kayak would buy again if I needed to.

Over1 year Update Edit: Added some more pictures of camping trips. I brought my whole family aboard one day. My girlfriend, daughter and I can all fit and sit pretty well for a kayak. The best pros you can throw anything or anyone in this kayak and they're safe. With 2 people and a kid i was comfortable with slow moving river. I can carry to much glamping stuff. I bring chairs and tables and coolers and all the ridiculous stuff for a kayak camp because I can. I can collect all the rocks and things I find along the way and keep what ever I want. The Cons: with the skeg up you can just spin circles if you wanted to easy. Which can be a good thing but going down river you can get sideways and not really be able to pull yourself forward and straighten out quickly. And with the skeg down sometimes the fast moving water can push it making you drift as you go. I say drift because you'll be going in the same direction whether forward or sideways sometimes. Plus being wide and flat it isnt fast if you get a rhythm and keep pace you'll move pretty good. Sit in kayaks with pointy noses can just pass you up though. Would still recommend just for as cheap of a sale as you can find because it is still expensive to my budget I got it on sale! Original review: I love this kayak more and more each time I take it out. You can do a 180 pretty easily with minimal effort that too can be bad as you're rear will try to drift around alot without the skeg down. It's tracks pretty straight for under 11' with the skeg down. Main benefit to me is all the large flat space on it. You can toss a milk crate behind the seat 💺 and there's room on each side. During a lake camping trip I probably had 200 pounds of glamping stuff and fishing tackle and my friend even had to toss a bag on the front because his was over loaded. It'll hold weight well and you don't feel worried about tipping over at all it's almost 3 feet wide. It's down sides are it is slow you will not win any speed race with it. It is almost too wide I rub sides with my paddle and it's 96" inches. It is alot of money for a plastic boat essentially. I waited till it was on sale. The seat can be comfortable but after a few hours it's like any seat you want to stand. Not really worth it on the ground outside of the kayak but an option. Things I love it can hold any amount of gear safely. I was picking up cinder blocks off a gravel bar because I could lol even on holiday weekends boats flying down the river their wake doesn't bother me at all. If you carry to much stuff or like to pick things up as you paddle along this is the perfect kayak 👍 👌

Très stable et confortable, parfait pour la pêche ou de longues sorties. Beaucoup d’espace pour l’équipement et facile à manœuvrer. Excellent rapport qualité/prix.

Great fishing kayak, roomy, storage for everything you need, can’t wait to try out my trolling motor on it next year! If you’re debating it, just get it! You won’t regret it!

Ordered the Pelican Catch Mode 110 first one arrived damaged, but Amazon replaced it quickly with no issues. The second kayak was in perfect shape, though it came with the wrong Classic 100 sticker likely a factory mix up. Still, the kayak itself is great stable, well built, and perfect for fishing. Happy with the purchase overall!

Originally I was going to get the catch 120, but I ended up with a great deal on the Catch mode 110. No regrets at all. The kayak is very stable in both lower and bench seat position. The seat is incredibly comfy, especially when I tightened all the straps and added a lumbar support pillow. It came with rubber stops on the feet of the chaor to stop side to side movement and also came with 4 scupper plugs. I added a canoe seat from canadian tire that has padding and a back rest that I strapped to the bench to add a similar style seat in the higher seating position. Tested on Lake Superior and it passed with flying colour's. I am 5'10" and 260lbs, felt comfortable in both seating positions, did not try standing. Very open and roomy design and a huge upgrade from my previous pelican sit inside kayak. Much easier on my bad back, especially when using a kayak cart (game changer). Really enjoying this new kayak and would absolutely recommend.

Far better than when I was expecting it's nice and long being that I'm 6'3 that's a bonus it's extremely stable and the orange with granite gray is one of my favorite parts of the entire boat I love that it has a transom and there's so many flat surfaces to be able to mount and modify it I'm excited to get started.. before this I had to Sentinel X 100 and the catch 110 has been a major improvement above that no matter how good the Sentinel was
