[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 453896, member: 432"] Get some experience in different kayaks if at all possible. I did what you are talking about doing when I was young with a canoe and had a hard time getting used to it enough to fish out of it. I was 15 or 16 and bought a 12' canoe from Sears for $200 thinking it would be a piece of cake. Boy, was I wrong. It is very unstable compared to other canoes I have been in since. I had to take out the seats in it because you could not sit in them without turning it over. Over the years I have gotten very good at keeping the right side up but you have to respect it. I can fish out of it with no problem now, even for very large catfish(50+ pounds). [/QUOTE]
