KAYAK SUGGESTIONS
 

Hey guys im planning on buying a kayak this winter for fishing and dont know which kayak is best. i plan to do a lot of ocean fishing. i know the hobie mirage is a good yak but pricey, i dont mind spending some money but just want to know how BWE members feel about different kayaks. any suggestions would be great thanks. tight lines

Uh Ohhhh.... A guy with a blank check here is dangerous...:eek:

I'm sure people here can help you spend some Franklin's, There is alot of good advise from this good group. and they will have some great input and support.

But the 18K Gold Plated Paddle does not really work any better than the Sterling Silver one..:D
:paddleersmilie:

The fisherman makes the Kayak, Come on guys get the wish list out!!:cool:

Tell us about yourself. Are you ripped and chiseled like myself, or more well rounded. Are you looking to go miles offshore in hurricanes like myself or will you be staying in the harbors. What are you fishing for GWS,(tag and release of course) Marlin, and Swords, like myself of just the YT, WSB, and Butts? Have you ever used Knotless hooks, Knot like myself? Help us Help you.

Have you seen Jorge Lately?

Damn! So that's what happens during lobster season. :rolleyes:

Go to the kayak shop (OEX sunset beach) and test a few out, peddle and paddle, Andy has both. Find out what you like better and go from there. I wouldn't buy something really expensive right off the bat, you may find...you hate kayak fishing...! Once you figured it out somewhat then you can upgrade to something better... whatever that may be...

Read up on Malibu Kayaks, there is a large sales THIS Saturday in SD. Factory blems sold via OEX. There are posts here. 70% off good boats. It would table the peddal question, but it would get you on the water for less bucks.

Prices are good enough to dive it.

thanks guys for some of the input... im 5'2 and in pretty good shape (meaning i exercise atleast 4 to 5 times a week) i plan on being out on the ocean and fishing for just about anyting but will probably be sticking to the usuals like butts, wsb, yt, rockfish, calico ( that is if can can catch them) lol. im definitley going to check that sale out as they seem to be pretty cheap. any info on the stealth 14? are they worth it with the built in tank?

get a 12, much easier to move around on your own, but since your healthy like Jorge, it wont be much of an issue :D
