To many people get sucked in by the current popularity of kayaks without even giving thought to a canoe. This goes even more so for people that hunt/generally enjoy outdoor adventure as well as fish.
You can most likely have a great canoe right now for 200-300 bucks from your local craigslist. A kayak in that price range will most likely be misserable for your adventures and fishing unless you find a gem.
