>>279168>>279168>>279168Fishing kayaks are the way to go. I been kayak fishing for the last five years and started out with a sit inside, wilderness systems pungo which I quickly upgrades to a sit on top wilderness system tarpon 160. The tarpon 160 was a little long and heavy for my taste so I upgraded again to a tarpon 120 I bought brand new. I love it, the fully adjustable seat, the ability to fish lakes and ponds that boats have no access to makes kayak fishing that much more enjoyable to me. I fish a few small ponds around here that shore access just doesnt exist and the bass fishing is second to none. In my opinion get yourself a sit on top. On top vs inside gives you a lot more room to move around as youre not confined to the cockpit of the kayak. Its nice to stretch and hang your feet of the side after you sat on your bad for a few hours, possible but not comfortable in the sit inside. I got my pungo 140 for $450 off craigslist with a fish finder, and safety gear. I sold it for $500 and got the tarpon 160 for $600 with nothing. The brand new tarpon 120 I got I paid a little over $1000 and its everything I wanted so worth the money in my opinion. Keep an eye out on craigslist and dont be afraid to low ball people, you dont need a special roof rack to strap them them down to. my buddy had foam pads he would put down on his roof then strap the front and back under his bumpers and run one strap around the kayak through the car with the window open some. Some brands to keep an eye out for; Wilderness Systems. Jackson Kayaks. Ocean Kayaks. Hobie. Malibu Kayak. Freedom Hawks are cool in my opinion. I seen these kayaks rigged for fishing with rod holders and extras for $600-$900. My buddy has a no name - Job Lot store kayak he paid $300 for and it does him fine, another has a Dicks sporting goods kayak which he also enjoys so being a name brand kayak doesnt automatically make it better.
