I just got one this year and so far I love it. I have to admit, it hasn't been the "end all be all" I thought it was going to be, but I'm still getting a lot of use out of it. I say it's not the end all be all because I'm still very weary of taking it out in the open ocean at night along rocky structure, and I think that's when it would really shine, the ability to drag an eel over a LOT of water is bound to produce great results. I'll try that eventually but now I'm just trying to get comfortable with it during the day in the swells, which I'm pretty much there. The best part about the yak is that you can troll, which in my opinion is just easy and relaxing fishing. I love surfcasting too much to give up, so I'll always be somewhat of a surf rat, but the kayak is definitely worth it for me.
