so given that i have this 75 pound thing to think of now i think it's safe to say a kayak probably isn't the right boat for me now. at the moment im thinking buy an aluminum boat on craigslist for $300 then spend $300 fixing it up (trolling motor, oars, a casting deck, maybe a small outboard)
thoughts? my biggest concern is that i wont be able to fish alone as well because i'll have to both move the boat in to position by myself and worry about getting a solid presentation. a kayak i could just silently paddle up to a spot, set the paddle down in the water, and make a presentation to a carp. but a boat with oars isn't all that quiet in my experience so im going to have to get a pole and learn to pole myself along the shallows stalking carp and then silently but quickly switch from poleing to making a presentation
either that or im going to have to find a local fishing buddy to accompany me on my bullshit trips so we can take turns making presentations. so i have no bloody idea.
