Need help!?!?

[Lebby]

Hey all

I need help picking a kayak that I'll be using for fishing and i cant find one that is in my very small price range. I only have about $450-$500 max and I'm looking at trying to get a yak soon and all i have found is this kayak for $400 the picture is attached. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Lebby

if you join up to KFDU (kayak fishing down under) you will see lots of discussions on this very topic and maybe also some used yaks to fit your needs. good luck. hope to see some reports once you settle on a ride.

Mate that looks like a great beginners kayak.

There are a lot of dedicated fishing kayaks out there but some are worth as much as a small boat!

For starting off in teh estuaries and dams etc that rig should serve you very well.

Where are you planning on using it?

Welcome to the site by the way

Nothing wrong with the yak pics you've attached, they do the job and are well suited for creeks and rivers. I have a Viking Ozzie as well as the Hobie, which is very similar to the yaks above. I got it cheap from the viking dealer at Mooloolaba as it was a factory second, $500.

Thanks for the welcome

Yeah i thought it would be ok for my first yak since im going to add things to it anyway. Im planning on using it at the Maroochydore river, Coochin creek and also Ewen Maddock dam since i love freshwater fishin'

I have one pimped for fishing, and apart from a wet bum, its great for poking around

As long as it has enough capacity for you and fishing gear, a good entry craft.

No point in spending big $$ unless it's your choice.
