re: school me on marine radios for kayak fishing

I know nothing about marine radios. I am leaning towards purchasing 2 or 3 that are waterproof and float.

If you are getting this for emergency use consider getting one of the personal locator devices that will broadcast your position, and allow you to send messages out. Since it uses satelites for the service you are never out of range, most ocean kayakers use them.

Since you are interest in purchasing 2 or 3 radios I assume you are interested in communicating among the other boats in your group, for this I would consider FRS (family radio service) type radios in addition to the beacon, they are cheap even in waterproof versions.
