I'm sure some of you have some decent experience with fishing the sound/creeks in a kayak, perhaps trying out various kayaks over the years. I'd love to get a Hobie but good night, that's some cash layout for one of those. There's so much to pore over on the internet about this subject and so many of the youtube videos are about the modifications made. I love mods but I don't have one to mod yet and I want to make sure that the as-purchased kayak is very functional.
It seems the 'entry level' models lack a lot of Scotty mounts and if you want to add a depth finder or whatever, you're looking at mods right away.
I'd have to consider getting two (2) so that my son/wife/daughter/friend/foe/you (not in that order) can company me. But then heck, I'll wish I just bought a bay boat.
I'd have to consider hauling it around. Trailers get expensive it seems. Have a pickup with a 6-foot bed.
Some of the above questions are covered in the buying guides online such as the link following, but it's nice to hear user opinions... http://www.onthewater.com/2016-fishing-kayak-canoe-buyers-guide/

- Any models you'd recommend that gets you going and happy?
- Any mods/additions that you just KNOW will be required and to figure into the price? (paddle?, cooloer of course)
- Minimum length?
- Sit "down in" or sit "up high" in a chair like a Hobie?
