I bass fish in small to medium sized lakes and ponds and i am looking for a good sturdy kayak under $600, any suggestions?

[KayakFishingTales]

@outdoors52 Rather than looking for a new fishing kayak under $600, I would look for a second hand kayak. You can get a really good second hand kayak for that price. I would try posting that question on the Kayak Bass Fishing website forum.

I was wondering if anyone could let me know if a 2 man SOT is a good idea or not - I am considering a 13ft 2man just to use on a lake, how are they vs sit in , how are 2 man Kayaks are they difficult to control? Just plan on using for recreation, Kids use , maybe fishing.....thanks for any help

@jpfromdracut 2 man SOT's are great! They're amazing for taking kids out, and they're even good for taking out and fishing from alone.

My dad and I were going to get kayaks for fishing but we are not sure what kind of kayak. we are both about 6feet tall and around 150lbs and we were gonna use them next to a bridge with a preety strong current so if you could give me tips on what kind of kayak to use that would be appreciated

[KayakFishingTales]

@iamnotatroll1 Ideally... go with the Ocean Kayak Torque, which has a built in Minn Kota motor. This will let you maintain your position in the current without paddling, so that you can focus on fishing. You can also use the Ocean Kayak Trident, and anchor of the stern to hold your position in the current. Just be careful when anchoring in current. We posted a video not long ago about the challenges of doing so. Check it out.

@outdoors52 Check out the Ascends from Bass Pro, they are really good yaks right in your price range.

Whatever you do. Don't order a kayak from Amazon !!!!!!!!

If you want the best fishing kayak ? Go look at the Malibu Stealth series. We have two. The Malibu S-14 and Stealth -9. Will be getting a S-12 soon. But do as I did and go to Bass Pro and compare the Ocean Kayak to the Malibu's and you will see theirs no choice to be made !! You will leave with a Malibu. I will put a couple of Video on here soon to help !!!
