Hey guys.

I'm helping my girlfriend pick out a kayak for ocean fishing. She is about 5 foot 7 and 120 pounds. Anyone got any recommendations of a good one under $500?

We do our pelagic fishing off of a boat, so this will mainly be used for our trips up the coast to fish lingcod. She doesn't need anything fancy, hence the under $500 limit.

Do you think a 10 foot kayak will be good? If not, what size?

I fish off a 10 foot lifetime tamarack. Being a 6 foot 4 man, I would absolutely love a bigger yak, but I make due with what I have. I just want her to get a good size that she will be comfortable and safe in.

Thanks.
