i was just about to create a thread asking for some advice on this subject as well.
i'm looking to buy myself a fishing kayak but i live in Orlando & I'll be fishing the beaches & mangrove lagoons all around the Atlantic side & FL Gulf Coast.
haven't fully decided if i want to go the paddle board route be/c i'd like the option to sit & relax/nap...ha! but i've seen some interesting seating options on paddleboards too.
any additional reviews/tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been thinking about a bass buggy or something like that for a while now but a kayak may actually be a better way to go. I haven't looked into them at all yet though.

Any type of fishing requiring distance paddling, requires a long narrow boat. Otherwise you will kill yourself getting there and back. The paddleboard is a neat concept, but not great when around waves and wakes. Any of the Hobie Peddleboats are good for long hauls, as are the Manta Rays and Tarpons, 14' at least. Peddleboats will run you $1800 to $2500, the MR14 or Tarpon 14 around $1000. I'd buy used to make sure you like it, then move up in a couple of years. Lots of good used kayaks in Fla area.
