Noob in search of a kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

slimjimzrule · 06-12-2011, 10:05 PM

I am looking to getting a kayak to take to the lakes and the kelp beds. I have never fished off of a kayak before. Any tips on brands to stay away from or what i should be looking for? My price range is under $500

I've got a Cobra Fish n Dive in great condition (it's a couple years old but no holes have been drilled in the hull and it has seen no abuse) I'd part with for $425. Includes seat, paddle and crate with 4 rod holders.

haha already lookin to move onto bigger things huh Randy?? Good luck sellin the yak. It was fun out there the other day, next time better fishing for sure.

Yea. Looking into something bigger for those long paddles. I'm just not looking forward to the price tag they carry. But the FnD is a great kayak for a beginner. Very stable, lots of deck space and the priced to move.

I'm looking forward to going out again soon. Probably next weekend. And yea, the bite last weekend was slow as heck. Lets hope for good things next time.
