Lake Superior - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I think you will have an awesome experience.

My mom does an annual yak trip to Isle Royale on Superior in the spring. They're in reg sea yaks, but they make some pretty long crossings and portages. You don't know my mom, but she's not what you would call a "water" person. It takes a lot of will and fortitude for her to do these trips but she keeps going back. That said, you don't want my mom to show you up, do you? BTW I'm 40, so do the math on mom's age. Ha.

I recommend a rudder on whatever you choose to buy. That short-interval slop on the lake will wear you out if you have to compensate w/ only your paddle.
