need help on first kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

bmilluh23 · 03-14-2012, 10:04 PM

Alright guys i know know this question has been asked countless amounts but im going to ask anyway. I have been stuck in my float tube for a while now and im getting over being so limited..so ive been looking at some kayaks. The majority of my fishing will be saltwater so im thinking something a little bigger? I am 6 ft 165 lbs so i dont need a tank. I want to buy used with a bait tank (maybe a fish finder?) so tell me what you all think. Its my 18th birthday in april so i will be able to buy around then..looking to spend up to 850ish. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to BWE, go see Andy at OEX sunset, take a few kayaks out for a test paddle and see what you like.

Don't marry the first kayak you ride (like I did). While I'm happy with my x-factor, I often think of the slim yet curvy lines of a pedal drive Hobie. Often, I think how my adventures might be different with both hands free (sandwich in one hand and a cerveza in the other).

When I was in my search, I tried to contact that person, but they just wouldn't respond. Maybe they didn't respond for a reason and then the next two days someone posted a S14 for sale a little cheaper than this ad too.

What I'm trying to say as other have said, take your time to find the one you like.... it'll be all worth in in the end.

I do believe your looking at a Kiyo Sato aka Baytuber kayak right there,
If so, it has Mucho Mojo built right into it!

For sure Buy Kram's Kayak it's loaded and fits your price and will fit you.

I got a blue Hobie Quest last year and am giving a lot of thought to upgrading to either an Outback or 11' Revo. I would sell it with the Lowrance X50 DS fish finder and RAM mount rod holder, but will be keeping my bait tank. Let me know and I will post some pics. I need to think of a fair price, but it will be well under what you are looking to spend. Happy 18th!
