What do you guys think about this kayak? I enjoy fishing the creeks from the bank but would love to get a kayak. I don’t plan on spending a lot of $. Any advice?
Thanks

Not a bad kayak. A little short for my taste. It doesn’t track as well as longer boats, so paddling in a straight line is kind of a pain.
If you’re going for a short boat, look for one with a drop down skeg. That gives you the best of both worlds. Lift the skeg and they paddle like a creek boat, lower it and it tracks well. A Dagger Blackwater is set up like this.
I like a longer paddle with a short fat kayak.
Remember to search Craigslist before you buy new.

Hooksetter I 've got a Wilderness Systems 15 foot sit in that works well for fishing and recreational paddling. I’d sell it for $400
