Thats sad news. Always wanted to float down silently to that ever so tempting, fishy looking hole. Does coleman has any model which features the reinforced pvc walls? Or any other brands?

Bro,
Just forget about the inflatable laah… too much effort and too little fishing hehehehe… go for a kayak hehehehe…
they are silent, easy to handle and a lot of fun
No pain no gain, dont try dont know… muahahahahaha
Hi geno and others out there intending to get an inflatable, Pulsar is spot on regarding the use of inflatables in swampy areas with hidden twigs and branches.
Normally I fish for bujuk on a scanoe. Last week, due to more “kakis” than available seats, we brought along a brand new Coleman Colossus. Less than 30 minutes after being towed by the scanoe, the inflatable sprang a leak. Must have hit a tree branch beneath the waters.
Only saving grace was that the inflatable has 2 compartments and we were still able to continue fishing. However our confidence were “shaken but not stirred”.
Thanks for the feedback bros, didnt know they are so flimsy lahh. As im staying in an apartment, theres no way i can fit in a fibre or a kayak for that matter. Which is why the thought of getting a inflatable boat comes to mind.. Sighhhh

There you go! Don’t let small thing like where you live stop you, hehe. [:D] I also think a small, light kayak would be perfect for swampy areas.
Portability isn’t always the case with inflatable. Since my first post here, I already have purchased a very good 11’ inflatable boat, triple-ply wall about 1mm thick. But portable? Not so much.
Fully folded, it’s still bigger than me crouching, actually I can fit in the carrying bag very comfortably, takes all the space in my Honda City trunk (if you’ve seen how big a City’s trunk you’ll know), and weighs a mighty 55kg! After carrying all that, still takes 30mins to setup and inflate.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my boat, it is absolutely perfect for long trips on the waves, but NOT for short trips to swamps. Too much hassle, and even with the 1mm wall I wouldn’t want to take the chance with the sharp branches. Sayang ooo.
With small kayak, you lift from roof rack, fish. Afterwards, lock back to roof rack, go home. Very fast. Just curious, what’s the size of your kayak, Samurai? Length, weight, how you carry (roof rack?) etc.
How about canoes ah? Are they very much expensive? I just dont have the confidence in using a kayak lah let alone fish on one.. hahaha

Bro,
Roof rack all the way, though it can fit inside my other truck but then it would be just me and my kayak
hehehehe…
My kayak is a 9 footer… weight is only 30plus KG
I actually have 2 of these babies… you are welcome to join me on fishing trips hehehehe… we can load them up and take them out for some fun fishing …
No pain no gain, dont try dont know… muahahahahaha
Choosing a boat (whether an inflatable or a hard-shell aluminium or fiberglass or a canoe or a kayak) is like choosing a pair of shoes. You don’t want to buy a pair of shoes without trying it out. The same applies for boats. The shoes may be cheap but if you don’t try it out, you may just regret it later.
If you want to try out kayak fishing, I suggest you go to my website www.eco-sports.com.my and look for kayak fishing expeditions by JungleGeckos. Those geckos can take you out for a wild kayak fshing safari.
Cheers
