Looking to buy first fishing kayak

Hello everyone, like the title says I am looking to buy my first fishing kayak. I fish mostly lakes and the delta, no ocean and I need to be able to stand up in it and it be fairly stable. Looking for something between 10'6 and 12 ft long. I have a budget of around  $800, if anyone is trying to sell or knows anyone trying to sell please let me know. Thank you!

First ...Welcome

Second ..get out and demo as many as you can

As someone who is NEW and didn't
demo... GO AND DEMO First!!! Find the one you like or what style/options fit you and THEN go shopping. I bought a tarpon 140 for the ocean and didn't really like it... I know have an outback. Could have saved some $$ by demos first.

if you stack 'em like that it doesn't take up too much room? These guys know, the price is right, super stable, maybe I'll have to try one out!!!!  Are you in your shop today Baitman?  Like most things where you need some sort of tool to get you out there you'll most likely end up w/a quiver of some sorts.  Rods/reels....kayaks, pfd's, immersion clothing....etc.  It gets bad, but in a good way.  Welcome.

 I will be tomorrow if you're available.    Give me a ring here.  831 661 0947 to set a time

He got one.
And welcome to the boards brother!
