New to the kayak world - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for all the insight and and welcomes. I share my time between work in the central valley (chico area) and home (orange county). I free dive and fish the north coast and need a kayak for that mainly, but also some river runs. I would love to hit up some kelp paddies down south while I'm home.

I'll be down south in about two weeks and will have some time to hopefully try out some kayaks and purchase something.

What is fair price range for a tarpon 140-160 or x factor? I was looking to spend between 350-600 for a used one. Is this feasible? I feel like I've seen some in this range.

Thanks again for the input.

I have a Tarpon 120, probably should have got the 140.

My Tarpon is super fast and super stable. Best thing I ever bought.

Be careful, this sport is SUPER ADDICTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
