New to Kayaking, currently shopping

Post by Rsparrow »

Hi, name is Randy. I am not yet a Kayaker but aspire to be one soon. Currently I am shopping for a fishing Kayak and have kind of zeroed in on 2 models. Probably important to note, I am what I like to call Athletically Overweight :roll: at a shade over 6' 2" and 265 pounds. So max boat capacity is important when using the 70% rule. The two yaks are the Feelfree Lure 13.5 (500/350) and the Ocean Prowler BG2 (600/420). I know I will be a day Kayaker, no interest in camping unless it's at a hotel and not really a gear nut. I have 3 rods and a small amount of tackle. Just looking for something comfortable and stable to get out on the lake with. Fish mainly for bass and blue gill. Any thoughts, insight, additional options or experience you would like to share will be appreciated.
