Advice much needed!!

Hey Siebler,

Thank you for your help. I am about 5'9-5'10 currently weighing 175lb plan on losing 25lbs though lol I've been on kayaks and canoes a couple of times and i am completely comfortable in them. I really dont know what to look for i want something that will last me awhile maybe a couple years not just a kayak for now and then maybe a year later i want something more. I dont want to go over $1500 and i was just looking at the Prowler Trident 15 Angler and thought it would be a great one. I was also looking at the GTS Elite Fishing Sit-On-Top seat for it too. What do you think? I am just really anxious to get out there and fish especially seeing everyone's pictures on here of what they've caught. I am amazed on what you can actually reel in on a kayak.

Consider the Ocean Kayak Trident 13 and 15, Malibu Kayaks X 13, Wilderness Systems 140 and 160. These are what I would consider paddling and I am about the same size.

Surf to Summit's Elite is very comfortable.

Jaz, that is alot of great info. Those guys are very knowledgeable in kayaks. My only advise to you would try to test paddle the yaks you are thinking of and even some you were'nt. That way you will see how each one handles and feels. Might keep you from buying one that really isn't the one that fits you the best. Good luck to you.
