Looking for Kayak Recommendations. Never owned one, but have a camp on Grand Isle and would like to have one to fish the rocks out front on the calm days. I am 6-3", 260, so looking for something stable. Friends have said to get pedal power, so that you don't have to paddle when trying to fish. Prefer to get something used as it won't get used that often. What say the Board?

Budget will dictate.

If the budget is no concern, Hobie PA14

Get a golf cart.

But pedal is 100 times more fishable than a paddle in my experience.

I would absolutely go with a pedal kayak. You can find used Hobies regularly. The Pro Anglers are the most stable yak you will find. There was a 2014 Pro Angler 14 for sale on Facebook last week for $2,000.

ETA: with a $2,000 budget you can also find some nice Outbacks. Just make sure they are a 2014 model or newer so you get the Vantage seat.

Look into a used PA12, outback, or Compass.
