What advice do you have for a bass angler looking to purchase his first kayak?
I would say the number one consideration is how youâre going get it from Point A to Point B. If you primarily fish by yourself and you have a car or you want to put it in the back of the truck, that might be the first consideration. If youâre going to be transporting from lake to lake, whatâs your means to get it there? Pick something you can load. I fish out of a 13-foot (Old Town) Predator, but I have a truck, I have a trailer for it. But when I got one, I had no idea. When I got two kayaks, at first I was like, âNow what do I do?â So that might be a consideration in what size you pick.
I think if I guy goes looking at a kayak, heâs going to start looking at the bells and whistles, and maybe when he chooses one, heâs like, âDang, now that Iâve got a kayak Iâve got to get a new tow vehicle.â You donât want to do that.
