Even though it was a sit-in yak, I finally got the "feel" for being "ON" the water and now I cannot wait to get into a fishing SOT. It will likely be next season after I save up the $$$ to do it right.

Spin, I just purchased an Ocean Kayak Prowler 15 Angler. I've only fished it a couple of times but it has been a great way to fish. I strongly recommend this yak if you want a SOT. The Wilderness Systems Tarpon 14 was also highly considered. Now I just have to get my GPS/Sonar rigged up.
The OK tracks very straight and takes the chop nicely and seems to be pretty dry for a SOT. At 55 lbs its a bit heavy to get on my truck which is fairly high on the cap. But otherwise a great boat.
