New member in Spring TX
I am new to kayaking and decided to join this forum. I have not yet purchased a kayak but have in mind what I like to own. I fish fresh and salt but more saltwater lately especially during summer and maybe the colder weather soon. I fish Surfside area mainly. Thanks to this forum and the common interest all of you have in this sport I hope to share my experiences with you soon.

Welcome to the addiction. Now you have to figure out if your gonna spend a little or a lot. The good thing about that is the fish don't care.
Re: New member in Spring TX
Thank you for the welcome. I am going to try out or look at some kayaks on September 10th off Butler rd. in Conroe. As of now, I am interested in the Ocean kayak big game 2. That decision may change after I see others and their specs., can't wait!

Another new member in Spring
Just joined the site and trying to decide on a kayak. I'm a big guy 6'3" and 300 lbs. Any thoughts on the make and model to look at?
I'm probably wanting to go back in the flats around Galveston to start.
Any suggestions?

Re: Another new member in Spring
Hobie has a 650 lb limit and are very stable to stand up and can be propelled easier by your more powerful legs. Expensive but well worth it and you will not regret your purchase if you are serious about kayaking and fishing at the same time. Hands free movement means you can fish while on the move. Hard to do in a standard paddle kayak but can be done.OfficerGomez wrote:Just joined the site and trying to decide on a kayak. I'm a big guy 6'3" and 300 lbs.

Look for used if you can't spring for a new one. Lots of great deals on these and other forums. Start a thread of your own asking everyone if they have one for sale.
If you can make it to an ACK demo days then GO! try out the yaks they have and make the best decision that way.
