We have an Old Towne Loon that is a tandem (two seater), and a Walden, not a Vista, but like one with less frills. Anyway, the Walden is 38 lbs, and easy to paddle fast, but it is slender, so easier to roll in. I think it would take an act of congress to tip that Loon. Super wide, super stable. It has a foot rudder too, and tons of room to put crap, but I think it weighs almost 80 lbs.

Neither are "fishing" kayaks, but I have noticed that fish will still jump on my hook. My point being: although you can spend thousands for a fancy fishing kayak, you can also spend a lot less. I think we paid $400 for the Loon, and $250 for the Walden, both from craigslist. If it gets you out on the water, and holds your junk, what more do you need?

My point being: This is $150. It's a great price!

OKC Kayak has a demo day coming up at Crystal Lake I believe. Hook1 Oklahoma is in Tulsa. There is a guy in Tulsa that has a Gheenoe. Prices are not to bad either.

Hello fellow yakers! I'm rocking an old Mainstream kingfish right now, trying to save my pennies for WS, Jackson, Old Town, etc. Anybody fish the OK Kayak Bass tournaments?

Whatever kayak model this is will probably be all you need. he has a 1200 pound greenland shark on the line that he fought for 90 minutes.

What kind of canoe do you have?
I fished many 1000's of hours from a coleman 17 foot canoe. loved it! 4HP clipped onto the side and away I went.
I fished below lock 16 mostly running trotlines and drift fishing.. it finally got sun rot after 25 years
