WHAT KAYAK FOR ME - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hello,

Thinking of entering the sport. Any advise on what type of kayak to get. I am 6'1 and weigh 250lbs. Only been on kayak twice in my life. Would prefer stability first and then speed second. Also, how long should the kayak be. Thanks.

Steve.

With those criteria you probably want to look at the Cobra FishnDive, the malibu extreme and X factor, and the OK trident. Best thing to do is test paddle all of them, and any others, to find the one that feels best for you.
