Choosing a Fishing Kayak

Choosing a Fishing Kayak: Like many kayak fisherman, my first kayak was a mistake and I only used it a few times. There wasn’t a lot of information available. Things have changed. Kayak fishing is a major force in the kayaking world and there are lots of models to choose from. There are dozens of websites with interactive forums to ask questions and read about models. Since my first kayak I’ve personally fished from 50 different models in a variety of environments ranging from the flats of the Caribbean to the hike in ponds and rivers to vast expanses of Alaska’s Prince William Sound to name a few. I’ve learned a lot along the way and I’d like to share some observations with you.
