Kayaking

Sit on top for sure

I have an ascend fs12t. Like it.

Gonna get a hobie or KC next

Glad to see a kayak thread on here. SIKs do not have enough storage space for proper fishing, though they are frequently faster and certainly keep you dryer than the SOTs. The real question would be do you want a SOT or a canoe for fishing. Canoe has tons more space to carry gear, but is harder to paddle by yourself and more affected by the wind. they can also ship water. SOTs are faster, carry a decent amount of gear, and are self bailing, so you can fish in waves and surf without sinking or filling up the boat. I would say that canoes are the most versatile, but SOTs are fishing machines.

I have 2 SOTs, 1 SIK and a canoe(plus two bateaus). When dad croaks I'll have another 12 boats as his wife hates them in her yard.

Been wanting a kayak for awhile, just trying to decide what type would be good for me. Sit in (SINK) or Sit on (SOTS).

My brother has a fishing kayak, and i'm sure i'll be doing some fishing with him, but i want one to take out on the lakes for the weekend, every now and then, and just cruise around.

Any suggestions?

The new Ocean Kayak Torque's look nice. They have a little trolling motor that comes with it.
