Looking for kayak advise - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a zodiac boat that I will be selling. I was wanting to replace it with a kayak for fishing and diving. I was wanting some or any advise as to which style and brand/model to use. Pros and cons would be great.

Thank you in advance,

Michael

Hey Mike, the only advice is to choose the kayak the same way you would for anything else. Paddle as many as you can, weigh pro's and con's, and hopefully you will find one that works for you. So long as it has a tankwell, you are in business. It is a great way to get to some cool reefs, and kelp spots. After kayak diving, I swore I'd never shore dive except for lobster again.

Good luck,

Chris
