Looking into getting a kayak ...

[growalot]

For fishing small creeks and rivers and small lakes.....use to canoes...but not practical for just me to take out ...any thoughts?

Dick's...EMS...Gander Mt. and other such stores frequently run kayak clinics for those new to the sport, where attendees get to try several different makes/models of kayaks. My son went to three such clinics before purchasing his kayak; he thought he was well-prepared for that first purchase. Look for such a clinic near you.

I was also thinking about kayak's.Think this would be a great way to fish some areas that I do not have access to.Do these need to be registered the same way as other water craft?

no registration required for Canoe or Kayaks. (not sure how they view a canoe with a motor on it though).

I was thinking of this type of fishing as well. I saw one of these and they looked great and very stable. right up to the point I flipped the price tag over.

That would be a motor boat, and needs to be registered. Even if it's a little electric trolling motor!

I bought a Future Beach Trophy 126 kayak 3 years ago and I still love it. My 3 friends have them and my dad has one also. Two storage hubs, and 2 rod holders. I take mine down the river with all my buds during the summer and sometimes I just lounge in the lake with it and bass fish. Nice kayak with, especially for the price. Only downside I can think of is the seat isn't great, but putting a foam seat behind you to lean back on fixes that problem.

orion is right if it has a motor it is a motor boat as for a yak i tried one not for me i would not trade my raddisson canoe for any boat 12 feet 30 pounds wide and stable and you row it like a row boat its fast and will float 500 pounds
