Good paddle kayaks to purchase - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Best part about some of the paddle yaks mentioned is the large center hatch to put gear and fish in. So I'd look for one with that.

Great kayak. Went with 15 becuase of weight capacity. If you have a lot of gear and bait tank, 15 might be way to go . It is a beast on land . 93 lb . I used to think my outback was heavy . The trident 13 is not that much lighter but the weight capacity is a lot lower. On the water the trident can move. Handles surf great. Been through 3ft surf, 4-6 ft , even got caught out in 6-8 ft with 10 ft mixed in . Today I took it out at Malibu 4-6 ft. It's great to be able to stash rods and gear with ease. Since I got it in October I have not used my outback.

. For a paddle kayak this platform is hard to beat. I also would recommend rudder.
