as long as you have a trailer and a way too pull the tailor it would not be hard at all

Kayaks can be used for fishing. Actually they provide a poor platform for fishing. An open canoe is a better choice. Kayaks are closed boats and use double bladed paddles to move them. Much fishing is done from a standing position. Try standing in a kayak.

It sounds worse than it really is. I have a 13.5ft kayak and loading it on the roof of the car and transporting it is no problem with two people.

The first link is just an all around good site, the second is one that I have fished from. Fishing from a kayak can be loads of fun, especially whenn you hook into a big fish. There is nothing like the thrill of being pulled along in the surf by a 30lb + fish. They do take some getting used to, but you can silently get to alot of places that motor boats cannot get to. My advice would be to start out on the cheaper side, and then if you enjoy it, you can trade up to a nicer vessel. The kayaks that are made for fishing nowadays, are built just for that, fishing. Most comes with rod holders, and a livewell. And most if not all of fishing kayaks are ride ons. Meaning you ride on the hull rather then your legs being inside of it. Hope this helps.

It is very easy to transport your 13ft kayak. You can move it to river by your own vehicle. Kayak is lighter than Canoe so it is not so hard to move your boat.

there are many good yaks that lend themselves well to fishing for most species.
BUT… a good “sit-on-top” is a must.
you will sit higher for better visibility, better casting and just better in general. there are a couple kayak fishing sites to look up… they all use SOT models.
they are regularly used off the coast of socal fishing for thresher and mako sharks.
l’ll leave intentional shark fishing to others and continue using mine for bass.
l have a ” ‘cobra’ fish n dive” that is extremely stable and will carry 600lb or more.
has rod holders, depth finder and soon, a bow mount trolling motor.
ocean kayak IS a good brand. specify one for fishing.
13 to 15 feet should be quite sufficient. look more at the capacity. you will want a minimum of a 600lb capacity to ride higher in the water and paddle easier.
(rather than being sunk to the scuppers and having too much drag.)

I’ve used a Native Watercraft kayak http://www.nativewatercraft.com/ for four years and love it. I have a 12′ solo and my husband got a 14.5′ a year later (solo or tandem). The hybrid bottom adds to the stability in light rapids and is only limiting in the shallowest of rocky waters compared to the canoe. The maneuverability is better and cuts down on fatigue. I don’t know if it will reduce your paddling time significantly but you will get into any tight fishing hole and ride in comfort with back support and stretched legs. Also, my 12′ easily holds a milk crate filled with supplies, a waterproof seat back pouch with a rain suit, camera, first aid, etc, and in the front is the ice chest. I catch and release so no live well but you can add that as well. Good luck!

I doubt they are two heavy to haul or carry. Especially just a 13 foot one. Strap it on the car and could probably carry it a good ways to a river or lake even for a small woman say 5’4 ish

It’s tough to find a ‘Yak that can do it all.
You want to carry a tackle box, a cooler/live well, wet weather gear/clothes, and a drink cooler??
You will need the largest Kayak you can afford to fit all that in a Yak!
Can I make a suggestion?
Before you spend $400-$700 on a new/used ‘yak think about purchasing a trolling motor and a battery for your current canoe.
I once had a 16Ft canoe with a trolling motor and it was a fish catching machine!
I secured the battery and a battery box to the center bar, (carrying yoke), and wired the battery to the back where I had one of these- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores… – to attach the trolling motor. A Minn Kota 32 LB thrust motor will scoot a canoe along (with a full battery) for 2-3 miles easily.
However, I still did a ton of paddling. I used the trolling motor on the way back to the ramp……that way my back and arms weren’t worn out to load up the canoe.
Eventually, I added two swivel seats to the canoe, a portable fish finder, a mini-livewell right in front of the battery AND purchased a mini trailer for easy loading.
My canoe ended up being the “Cadillac” of canoes and the envy of many a fisherman! (lol)
I suggest you do the same with your canoe.
With the amount of money you will spend to purchase a Yak that will carry all that you’ve requested, you could get a small used trailer, swivel seats, a battery and a trolling motor for your canoe……..Heck, maybe even a small portable fish finder…..
In my opinion, that is really your “best bet” for all that you’ve requested.
By the way-
Yes, a Kayak will be faster, but it won’t carry as much as a canoe, (unless you get a new Sport/Fishing model and those are very expensive).
I currently have a Yak and a canoe, and although my Yak is lighter and faster it’s not as convenient as my canoe when it comes to “comfort and fish-ability”.
Hope this helps ya? Good luck on your next fishing adventure.
