Hello and thanks for taking the time to read. I've been wanting to get a kayak for fishing for a while now and decided it's about that time to do it. I'm looking to fish the ocean as well as the bay and lakes. If anyone is looking to sell a yak or has any advice to offer it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hans.

WTTM. Lots of good info here---search some and you'll probably find most of your questions answered.
Are you pondering what I’m pondering?

Pretty much everyone here will agree that if you can, it's best to demo different brands and models of kayaks to find the best one for you.

Good luck!
