Hi I'm Billy! I'm currently residing in the south bay. Looking up to pick up my first inflatable kayak.

My family has a tandem kayak that I've fished off of with no success in the past :)

Welcome Billz12oz  :smt006

What makes you specifically want to invest in an inflatable for fishing?

Hello!

I want something light that I can haul around by myself. I also don't have much storage to store a rotomolded kayak (living with friends and the garage is full as is). Lugging around my family's 14 foot tandem ocean Malibu wasn't very fun.

I am expecting to mostly use it in lakes and if I'm using it in the salt, it'd probably only be in the sloughs. I don't expect to venture into open water.

My hope is to catch warm water freshwater fish and stripers in the salt. I suppose I won't be able to go for rockfish or drift effectively for steelhead.

I was looking at a Hobie itrek11. It seems like a kayak i can stand on if there isn't too much chop
