Question for Boat owners - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I love my girls....

My kayaks are easy to launch and really fun to fish from and very inexpensive when compared to a skiff...but there are a lot of activities and conditions when I would rather be in my skiff than my kayaks.
I've said it before " if you can't do the time don't do the crime"
A boat is a commitment both financial and time wise but it will offer you options that your kayak won't. I just pulled my boat out of the water after being in a slip for the last three months...I really enjoyed my time on the water...There were days when I'd just go down to the harbor and turn the key and go get a limit of Bonito and some crabs and be back in a couple of hours...so covenient and easy...yea it's more expensive, but boy was that a fun 3 months of paddy hopping in the Catalina channel and Yellowtail at Rocky Point and lots of night of hooping lobsters and crabs and tons of Bonito.
Don't get me wrong...I LOVE my kayaks and always will...thats why I'm a member of the Hobie Fishing Team...I usually spend more days on the kayak than on the skiff especially in the summer time...cheaper and easier to launch...but I can't fit 3 beer drinking friends on my Hobie PA 14!
I know skiffs get a lot of negative response on this board but they can be a great experience and lots of fun. That's just MHO...!
