| question for the experienced kayakers Posted by heartbreakTiger im looking to get started in kayaking. what is some advice you can give on a kayak for a beginner and any other tips?  on 5/17 at 11:32 pmI was thinking for now it would be more for fishing in ponds and lakes an such. My friend bought a inflatable one and I though about going this route do to having a jeep it just seemed easier for packing up and going. Reply • Back to Top |

| For $500 you can get a decent 12" fishing kayak. Check Academy Reply • Back to Top |
| Call your local paddle shops and ask about their Demo day at a local lake or pond. You can paddle 10-15 differnt boats in a few hours. You will learn more there in one afternoon then you ever will on the Internet. I've got 52 feet of kayaks in the back yard and still enjoy/learn from demo days. It's not a high pressure sales thing. They just answer your questions and let you test the boats, paddles, PFDs etc. Reply • Back to Top |
| I looked into some of the inflatables on Amazon. They look well made and stable, great reviews on some for only $150ish. There are a couple of places I could hike to, but not drive, so it seemed like it would fit the bill. Still undecided. Reply • Back to Top |

| I have an inflatable one that I got for about 200. It sucks ass. Slow as hell, doesn't track straight, folds in the middle. Just overall sucks Reply • Back to Top |
| I was afraid that would be the case. Reply • Back to Top |
| Find yourself a good used sit-on-top, 12-14 ft. When it comes to kayaks, you get what you pay for. Reply • Back to Top |

Posted by BrotherEsau on 5/18 at 7:52 am to TexasTiger34 Doesn't seem like inflatable and fishing (think hooks) would go together. Reply • Back to Top |
| nor do they go well in the marsh. first oyster shell or barnacle scrape and you are done. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
