I am in the market for a kayak to use in the creeks for white bass in the spring. I dont know anything about them and need to know what to get and what to stay away from. Sit in or sit on top? And anything else about them.
I want a good kayak but dont want to spend over 400-500$ if possible.
Thanks

you'll want a sit on top most likely. What build/ weight are you?

Im just a young buck. 22 years old. 150 lbs and 5'11"

If it's only for creeks you want short and light.

Nothing longer than 12' but IMO you want 10' or 11'

I see academy has a 10' tan heritage for 399$. What do yall think about it?

I've never paddled one but it doesn't look comfortable. Especially the seat.

for $100 more you could get this guy

Honestly, I would try to pick something up second hand.

I am kinda leary on the seat on the tan heritage. I do like the way the redfish is set up and the seat also. Im not crazy about the red color but i guess i shouldnt be too picky on the color.

I'd go for either a heritage or pescador. Both are small, in your price range, and weight isn't a limiting factor for you.

I don't know if you are going to be lugging the kayak a long distance to get it in the creek. If you are, lighter is better.

I have the heritage angler 14 footer and it's awesome with lots of space and comfort. You can get the 12 foot version for 500.00. I just got the 14 footer cause it tracks great on the water. The smaller the yak the less it tracks well.

I have a 10 ft Perception Sport Pescador with a Humminbird 597 ci hd di I'm looking to sell for $450. If you're interested just send a pm.

Pm sent

Someone just got it off craigslist today. Sorry man. Pescador 10 ft is a great kayak though. I used it in creeks and the big lakes as well.
