Title: New to the site, thanks to Ariel.

  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, valaris415.  Ariel's a good man.  You're fortunate to have scored 15 minutes with him.  A kayak will change your fishing life.   :smt001

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.
