Kayak

[Ber2u]

Where can I find a sit on top Kayak to fish out of. I've seen the Pelican at Academy for 329 but is that a good starter? Not looking to spend too much on the first one.

Look for used ones on bckfc and craigslist. But try it out first

Dont waste your money on a pelican, they suck. Dont track worth a crap.

it only holds 250ld, has anyone used an Ascend 12ft fishing kayak?

i totally agree about pelicans being junk.. read reviews, spend the money on a good yak. i love my malibu kayak. only about $700.. 450lb capacity, dry storage, 4 rod holders and really stable. the hobies are really nice but they can be pricy $$

The perception at academy is a nice starter kayak for $500 and gets good reviews online.

What Raymond said nice yak for the money

[Ber2u]

Thinking I may go with the Perception.

the ascend is a nice kayak my step dad has one its not as stable as my ride 135 but it tracks good and is pretty stable

Thinking about getting one to fish the rocks at Holly Beach.
I am looking at the one at Academy also, but my nephew just went to work at Pack N Paddle in Lafayette. Might get him to see what kinda deal he can get me.

You will be selling it soon. Staying wet all day sucks, i went through the same thing.

pac-n-paddle or back packer in laff have alot to choose from and they will deal some and they also know of people that are sellin used ones

Definitely just a summer yak. The only wet I want to be is fish slime. I have been through quite a few kayaks and my most comfortable for the type of fishing i like is the Hurricane Phoenix

[weedeater]

dont know if you bought one yet but check southeasttexas.com they have a few including a perception

[SaltyShaw]

Texaskayakfisherman.com is were I found my Hobie, try there.
