anyone ever brought a kayak to destin staying in a condo or hotel?

I've brought mine while staying in Pensacola. Just drive to a public beach or use a public access, they are everywhere.

I would bring some rods for offshore too. Catch bait with a sabiki and drag some dusters...never know what you'll catch.

There is a website, strikelinecharts.com, they have all public reefs on a file you can put in a gps. If you have that capability. You could catch any variety of reef fish.

This. Your not going to want to carry that sob around, especially if it's hot. I'm not familiar with that yak, but if it's heavy, get beach wheels or stick to the bay. Dragging across sand is a bitch with heavy yaks.

I bought this inflatable while at the beach at the gulf last summer. Paddles like shite. Tracks like a drunk racoon. Slow as balls. Most comfortable Kayak you'll ever paddle though. It's like laying in a La-Z-Boy. We would take it 300 yards out in the gulf and chase dolphins. Doesn't weigh a thing. Packs down to nothing. With a 12V infilator is ready to paddle in about 2 minutes after pumping all the chambers. Fished in it at the lake house once. Not a ton of room for tackle. Not sure where I would have kept something if I caught a keeper. I was sure the little bastard catfish I caught was going to barb it and put me in the bottom of the lake so I stopped fishing on it and went back and got the jon boat Got mine for $59 at the Wal Mart in Destin. Bought it expecting to use it once or twice and it getting torn up and thrown away. It's survived a week of hard use in the ocean, a season of use at the lake house, and a couple trips down some slow big creeks.

I've just seen them stowed on top of SUVs. The alternative is to ask a condo owner (if not staying in a hotel) if you can keep it in their 1st floor storage room. That's where we keep one year-round. Almost all of them have such a room
