+1 on nothing less than 12'... I learned this the hard way... Also, I would suggest a sit on top for fishing (also found this out after the fact)... buy what you need now so you are not upgrading kayaks later... if length is an issue for hauling, look into a bed extender if you have a truck... harbor freight has one that works great and is pretty inexpensive... ask questions, check reviews on forums, demo if you can and narrow down the best you can about the characteristics most important to you in a kayak... this is important, cause there isnt a perfect yak (at least I havent found it yet)... IMO
