Kayak Upgrade Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

KayakNinja · 06-29-2011, 01:17 PM

Hey all,

I'm up in north Orange County, and I'm aware that the white sea bass scene for kayak fisherman up here isn't too great, but I'm still curious about getting out and trying for them around the CDM kelp and off of Huntington.

That being said, I need a more seaworthy kayak, as the Pelican Castaway 116 I have right now is slow, low in the water, and not safe for anything other than harbor bass fishing.

I'm on a tight budget, but I had an idea. Does anyone know if kayak rental places ever sell older models for cheap, and if they do, does anyone know where I should look? My dad rents a Prowler 13 from Sports Chalet and I know some other rental places have some pretty nice fishing kayaks, but everywhere I've asked has shot me down. Thanks.

As of now, I'll just keep my eyes peeled on Craigslist.
