While I know that money and "stuff" usually bring only temporary happiness, last year I picked up a cheap used kayak and I loooooove fishing and paddling around a lake whenever I can find some free time. I look forward to hearing how you enjoy it, and one tip I would suggest is buying used, there are great deals out there.
I've been watching Craigslist for used kayaks, but in my area, there are rarely any on there that I would like to buy. Any suggestions on other places to look for used kayaks? And do you have a sit-in type or one of those where you sit on a raised chair? I went kayaking once with some buddies and the type we rented were the raised seat kind and I really liked it. Seemed like it would be the better type for fishing.
