Any recommendations for a fishing kayak for a novice kayaker. I'm
looking for something stable and comfortable I can fish in.
I'm no fisherman, but I'd think you have to look at the one by
Hobie that has a pedal propulsion system.


Also, kayak fishing is a big deal in some areas and there are
whole web sited dedicated to it and equipment for same. *Might be
worth a couple hours Googling around.

I've used the hobie kayak but not for fishing, the pedal propulsion
can move you along quickly and keep your hands free. I liked it enough
that I might try and find a used one.


"Jeepyak"? Now that does ring some bells from the past.


This doesn't happen to be Dougie Jaeger by any chance, does it? :-)

Yes, it's me,I'm just missing the jeep, IRL. The accidental drowning
on Memorial Day weekend on the Potomac brought me back as it triggered
momories both good and bad. I'm also going to get back into a kayak
this summer, hopefully I still fit.


Hopefully you do. I'm not sure I even fit in a Jeep any more. :-(

I've read a few posts, and one of the pleasant surprises has been a
lack of sponsons. I've found that family life can take away from
personal life, My job and changes in jobs has had a dramatic effect on
my boating. The kids cut into that time even more so, my daughter has
somewhat disappointed me, she's a SWIMMER! *gasp* She does well, and I
couldn't be more proud of her achievments, and my son was a swimmer
and is now into karate. I now have finally been able to find some
balance, and hopefully I'll be boating soon, even if it's flat water
paddeling.

Good luck with the Canyon trip, that'll be fun, and I'm a wee bit
jealous.
