I want to be able to comfortably turn to fish a spot from a particular angle or to grab something from either the bow or stern. My first question is, should I be paying more attention to agility, especially for river fishing? Am I wrong to consider stability and tracking above agility in a fishing kayak?ĭeck space- I’d like a kayak that has some room to move around in. I’ve been looking at kayaks in the 11.5’-13’ range to balance stability and tracking/speed. Decent speed and good tracking are important to me, the kayak should either come rudder ready or with one preinstalled, preferably with foot pedal steering. Tracking/ Rudder ready- As mentioned above, I don’t want the boat to feel sluggish. I have some back issues so having a comfortable seat as well as the ability to stand up will greatly increase my time on the water. Stability- Stability and comfort is big to me. Both my parents have 12’ pungos, while neither of them are fast paddlers it would be nice to have something not totally sluggish for the few times a year I might go out with them. The ability to use it for inshore fishing is also a plus as I’m 40 minutes from Long Island sound. I plan to use the kayak for small to medium sized rivers and lakes. I primarily fly fish but also bass fish with traditional baitcaster/ spinning rods. Being new to fishing kayaks I’m looking for advice on a few kayaks that have peaked my interest but also willing to hear other suggestions. My parents have offered to buy me a fishing kayak as a graduation present. Hi folks! Sorry for the long post, new to kayak fishing, TL DR at bottom.
