Bought mine in July 2012 and have had it out on the water a dozen time or more. The real test was a 3 night trip down the Sabine River. Packed it full of gear, ice chests, tent, etc.It was still very stable - I was concerned that I would mess with the center of gravity but it was a solid platform. It gets a 5 star from me. Hope I don't wear it out too soon.

We moved from Texas to Iowa and had a new Tarpon delivered to our home in Cedar Rapids. It arrived on time and in great shape at a delivery cost that cant be beat. We took it out to Lake MacBride with the kids on a very windy day, but they were able to navigate across the lake with no problem with the rudder kit. Great boat so far.

I primarily float rivers for fishing 6-10 hrs at a time and have several kayaks, but the Tarpon 120 Angler is by far the best I have seen and owned. the seats are second to none and fully adjustable, the slide trax is really nice for customizing for the activity you want to choose. plenty of tie down areas. dry hatch is awesome for lures,jacket,phone, etc. Stability is good also in tough river situations. ACK installed the Rudder System on mine and I was sceptical at first but I would not have a Kayak without it now. Makes steering a breeze and helps keep you pointed in right direction. Let ACK install the rudder for you and save you time and lots of headache. More time for fishing. ACK service was second to none, fast shipping, friendly service, absolutly best packing job on any item I have ever seen. The Tarpon 120 did not have a scratch on it! Dont worry about buying a Kayak on internet with ACK!!!!!

I did quite a bit of research. This 120 Tarpon fishing kayak was my first choice. It has qualilty, roomliness, a bit heavy, and a lot of features for the price. Austin delivered the Tarpon kayak on time, no damage. They helped with installing our anchor system. I would highly recommend this kayak and Austin kayaks.

I really researched kayaks for a while. I am very happy with the Tarpon 120. The seat is very comfortable and the open floor is really great. I did a 4.5 hour paddle and found the kayak very stable. I got dumped once next to a log and was able to get right back in with no problems. ACK shipping was great...very well packaged and fast. Great all- around kayak....watch out redfish here I come.

This Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 Angler Kayak is my 3rd Kayak and favorite, very well built and designed, seems almost nuke proof compared to my Ocean and Necky. The hataches are awesome, and I was really amazed at all the gear that I can stuff below. The seat is very comfortable and plenty of leg room to stretch out. This is one very stable Kayak that tracks well. The only negative is it seems heavier than the posted weight? its a workout for me to load it by myself on my cars roof rack. I am a cheap skate, I looked locally first for a kayak, no one had a WS Tarpon 120, and I was told I would have to pay full retail plus a couple hundred for shipping. Well I ended up saving hundreds, I scoured all over the internet and Austin Kayak had the best prices. I am very pleased with Austin Kayak, I do not see this level of customer service anymore? Super fast shipping and no worries on damage, it was very well bubble wrapped. Thanks Austin Kayak

First of all i would like to say thanks to Austin Kayak for all the help in making the right choice. This kayak is everything they said it would be. Ultimate fishing machine - stable, roomy and comfortable. It`s fast, it`s pretty maneuverable, tracks extremely well. You can actually stand up in this kayak if you have a good balance.. but i would not fish standing up :)), but it is possible. On my first fishing trip i spent almost 8 hours in it without getting out, and to be honest i had a thought that i will not be able to move the next day, but i was wrong - Comfortable seat, overall layout and adjustable foot pegs are the strong points of Tarpon 120. Bottom line is.. if kayak fishing is what you do...Tarpon 120 Angler is it!

When I first saw this yak on display I knew I had to get it. Rented one a couple of weeks later and this was all the confirmation I needed. Bought a package deal from ACK and have been happy ever since. I want to outfit one with a fishing package so pops and I can get out there.

This Kayak has everything I need for fishing. My first time taking it out in the Ocean was a little narly since there was a little swell. I wiped out pretty bad, which was embarrassing but not a big deal. Once I got past the break water it work perfectly. I highly recommend the Tarpon 120 Angler to any one who loves to fish or just for cruising.
