I don't want to have to deal with it or any boat.
But things change and I reserve the right to change my opinion in the future.

I have a 12.6'. I like it but would much rather fish from the shore. I ended up loaning it to steelhead for the summer for a few of his plugs in trade. Otherwise I use it as a taxi only.

Tons of fun
The wife and kids hooked me up with a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 160i for dad's day. Easily the best gift I've ever received. What a ball! Had a scrappy 34" bass take me on a nice sleigh ride the second week I owned the boat. Blues are kinda scary when they try to jump in your lap. Just a thin layer of nylon between their fangs and your sluggo. Get a yak- you'll love it.

Tarpon 140, fully rigged. Love it. Don't use it all the time but it sure is nice to have options. Just another weapon in the arsenal. Great for getting to places that do not have easy land access, park it and surfcast like normal. Great this time of year when the fish are blitzing a couple hundred yards out.

When we were on Block Island Last June I rented one and fished in the salt pond. I had a blast getting towed around and fishing. It is worth checking out before you say you would never try it.

Possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen take place in a kayak was a bonito getting loose in a sit on top, thrashing around for a few seconds, and then biting the guy in the yak in the toe. The offending tasty fish was then thrown from the yak. He must have seen the other bonito scattered about the boat being kept for supper and decided to put up a serious fight.
So yeah, lip grippers, bogas, clubs, Baker Hookouts, etc, are all important tools when fishing from a kayak.

New between 500-1000, used ????? who knows. A Marquesa would probably be the best deal new, as far as something that would fit you. Tom

I've been a hardcore Surffisherman most of my life. However, when we took on Wilderness Systems Kayaks and saw the number of guys and gals fishing from kayaks I gave it a try. Endended up being a lot of fun. Found that you could fing fish that were inexsessile to both boaters and surfcasters. Just another way to diversify your fishing methods. Still love my Surffishing but it's a gas to be pulled around by a big fish.
Boot Man, Tarpon 140, 160i or Cobra Fish and Dive would be the best bets for a guy your size. These boats new and fully fish rigged go from around $700 to $1200 depending on configuration (with or without rudder). It is strongly recommended test driving a kayak before purchasing. At King Cove we will let you try any yak you're interested in.

A package would cost around 1500. Including proper clothing, kayak, pfd, paddle, FF, battery system etc. There are big man kayaks out there you just have to find the right kayak. |

Is fishing from a kayak like riding a moped? Fun until someone sees you.
|
thats why they call it fishing not catching

23 YAKKERS ON LIST
I would have thought thier would be more actual kayakers here that. Good start though as far as getting some research done about a possible future purchase.

the full moon looks orange sometimes when it rises because the light has to pass through more of the atmosphere then when the moon is higher in the sky. the blue light waves scatter but the red light waves pass through...... if you were wondering.
