all that said, most people, when they get their fist "sleigh ride" are hooked on yakking...

One of my main reasons for buying a kayak was that I see way too much water (fresh and salt) that I can't access from shore.
Now, there aren't too many places I can't get to, and fishing has been taken to a whole other level.
The real fun aspect of kayak fishing (for me) is being so close to the water and the fish. Imagine being able to approach a school of fish very quietly, and be ing able to cast to them with ease, and there's no one else around to interrupt the action?
Getting a kayak is like buying a car or a bicycle in that everyone has their own preference as to what they want and how they will be using it. Some like a model with all the bells and whistles, others like a basic model with a basic setup.
As was statd ealier, try a couple models that you might be interested in and then and only then will you be able to decide if a kayak is in your future.
If yes, you could also check around for used kayaks (if $$ is tight).
Good luck!
