can I use it for Salmon fishing in the rivers and creeks of alaska?

No, It's not strong enough. It's made for pan fish maybe up to 4 pounds or so.

I commercial fish in Alaska, but was very satisfied with the navigation charts that were pre-loaded with the Garmin 700-C. I'm sure the Great Lakes charts are very good and you will have no problem finding your way home.

Hi. I don't see why you could not. I use mine to mark fossil spots in the badlands, then walk back to them. Because GPS is based on satellite locations, being on water should make no difference. At least that is my opinion. I have not used mine for fishing. Hope this helps!

yes, but if u use reel for fresh water suggest stren or trilene line. these lines are better suited for fresh water usage

I own this rod and wouldn't recommend it for either salmon or steelhead. The rod has a very slow action, meaning it's good for a beginner learning how to cast dry flies but isn't rigid enough to cast large/heavy flies long distances. I bought heavier line and this rod still cannot cast streamers effectively. If you're going to be nymphing at close range for kings and steelhead maybe this rod could work, but I'd get a fast action or at least a medium action if you're looking for more versatility. Personally I'd go with a switch (two-handed) rod so you can cast farther with less effort and get better drifts. Check out youtube for videos on salmon and steelhead fly fishing gear; there's a ton of information out there. Not for nothing, Wild Water makes a switch rod, too. If you buy it, post a review as I'm in the market for a switch rod myself.

Yes, it should work fine for that. I use mine for trout fishing. Have had it for about 6 mo. Seems to be very durable. The only complaint I have is sometimes one of the joints will stick a be a little hard to push in.

Great idea! It would be excellent for kayak fishing. Has everything built into a compact case. Fish finder, surface temperature, gps, compass, and chart plotter.

I would say yes but watch out for the wind!!! It can blow you all over. I use mine on a river float fishing and can maneuver great in the calm flat parts in front of my camper. Just watch the wind lol. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. This is a great setup and I would recommend it to anyone for light to medium fresh water fishing.

I think it would really depend on how you mount it, Ive been using mine on a kayak and a 14foot john boat, if think that if you mounted the fish finder the way they show it in the picture on amazon it would work. It would also depend how wide the rails are on your boat. The mount is pretty flexable so I think you should be fine if you got it

I guess you could, but there is no insulation in this tackle. The center pouch would be big enough to hold frozen bait.

You can use this item to catch and store water. However, you will have to dump out the water frequently if you don't want to risk the iron banding rusting.

My immediate reaction is that fishing hooks and inflatables don't mix well. The kayak is pretty durable, so if you were super-careful about your sharp stuff it might work. Also, this model is a sit-on-top, with only minimal storage wells. Coleman makes a similar kayak in a "touring" model which would have more room for storing gear and your fish.

The rods are designed for dipsy divers which create alot of force. But they could be used for casting but the reel is primarily used for trolling. I would look for a bait caster reel if you are doing regular fishing. I catch 20lb plus salmon on theseway poles with ease. Anything smaller i would go with a lighter/shorter rod.

Can be used for small salt water species. Make sure you clean reel after each use. I used them for years flounder fishing in New England.

Sure, as long as you rinse off your reel afterwards and are fishing for smaller fish like croaker and spot.

To the best of my recollection - yes. I believe that is what we did. Nice unit. Would buy again. Good fishing!!!
