Kayak Help

I have a large SOT yak that I use for saltwater and have used in the Passaic but it is not terribly functional there
I am going to get a second yak specifically for River and small lake fishing
Given the wealth of knowledge here please share with me your opinion and recommendations
Appreciated

I personally own a Feel free Lure 10. It's a fantastic size for working any freshwater body except for the extra large ones. It has a great adjustable seat so you can sit and cast, or stand because of how stable it is. I also really like the tracks that they have for mounting peripherals. It makes it a breeze, although you have to buy the track mounts and hardware. They also have a 11.5 foot version if you feel 10 feet is too small.

Take a trip to the kayak fishing store in Fairfield, and talk to Jon . He will put you in the beast kayak for what you are looking for. . My choice would be a Tarpon 120 for what you are looking to do.

Agreed. Ask Jon at the Kayak Fishing Store and he'll know. Also you'll be supporting a small independent business.

Don't waste your time asking the nose-picking sales clerk at Sears or wherever people buy their kayaks at.

I have a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 that I really love. I use it on rivers and lakes. It is very stable and tracks well. Has a GREAT seat which I think is critical given the amount of hours you will be sitting on your ass. It is well built for the fisherman in mind and has lots of options for accessories. I have had it for 3+ years now and have no complaints.

tarpon 120 is a good choice. Just happen to know someone selling one this offseason. 2 years old in great shape. If your looking for a fishing machine ant to spend some money the the ATAK 140 is nice.
