We get a lot of newbie questions about kayaks and kayak fishing. We've summarized the most frequented topics here-
What kind of kayak should I buy? This is a loaded question and you won't find your answer on the message boards.
Bottom line is it's a personal preference decision and you need to go out and get acquainted with some kayaks. Then go to the message boards and ask owners what they think of the brands your've narrowed down. So many factors to consider, such as your budget, where you will be fishing and how you will be fishing. Are you fishing surf/rough conditions, marsh, small lakes, all of the above? Will you flyfish? Is standing a "must". Are you paddling long distances or short? Will you take long distance paddle-only trips? Are you a flyfisherman? Are you light or heavy build? Do you only river or float fish? The best thing you can do is get in kayaks and go paddling and/or fishing before your first purchase.
