Was thinking about getting a fishing kayak. Saw some pretty cool ones on craigslist. Anyone else fish in a kayak? What kind did you get?
Just picked up a Freedom Hawk 12. The rear 1/4 of its length is two pontoons that stay closed behind the hull for cruising, and then , via a couple of levers, the splay out about a foot to either side of the hull. It is very stable and easy to stand on with the 'toons deployed.
I’m sure the interruption in the hull shape makes her slightly less efficient as a cruiser. But, the stability makes it an easy trade off.
Also, The Charleston Angler West Ashley store just had a yak fishing seminar last week. Free and great info. You might ask them if they can put you in touch with someone that fishes from yaks. Just having gotten my yak, I’m not much of an expert.

Check out the kayak section. There isn’t any shortage of people fishing from Kayaks in Charleston. Come to one of the monthly “Meet & Fish” gatherings and meet some great people.
If two wrongs don’t make a right, try three.
Didnt see the kayak section. Thanks!
