  I don't even have a kayak yet but shore and pier fish 3-7 times a week and cant wait to target fish from a new means. I' m doing a lot of research on kayaks styles and most importantly safety on the water before my purchase. Just wanted to thank Ariel, because a 15 minute conversation with him convinced me that I need a kayak.

Welcome. You're fishing life will never be the same. They call it the kayak madness.

Dont listen to anything Ariel says. I didnt and I missed out on one of the biggest striper bites at Linda Mar all year. :smt044 :smt044 Welcome to the club. The good thing is you should be able to find a decent used kayak in the winter. Look around they are out there. I would say dont buy new for your first as they depreciate rather fast. When you are really into the sport then it doesnt matter. Look for something stable for your first.

Good luck.  Keep an eye on the hook up sections.  Look forward to seeing your first kayak fish.  Andy
