Ok so me and my buddy were thinking about getting a few kayaks and pick up kayak fishing. Only problem is were broke as hell and big ole guys. What kind of yak would be ideal for creek/river/tank fishing for big guys thats affordable??

How big a boy are you?

270. I know all kayaks have weight limits and what not but I really wanna kayak fish.

There are plenty of yaks that can handle a big guy. Take my Malibu Mini-X ...it is only 9 1/2 feet long and has a weight capacity of 325. I am not saying this is what you should buy. You should try some out, decide what you want from your yak then buy.

I'm about 280. I just bought my first kayak. It's a used Malibu x-13. I got a really good deal on it from a guy at tkf. It is probably not the best big boy yak, but after putting in scupper plugs, it is working out great for me. I am planning on saving up over the next year, and trying to buy a new Malibu x-factor.

I'm 6'4 265 lbs of pure walking romance ,and I have an Acend 12 ft. Not saying its the best one out there but is the best one for me.

The best way to suit your weight in looking for a kayak, is to never go below your weight plus 100 pounds in a kayak capacity.
In most case you will be fine. Then there's the comfort factor on how a kayak fits your needs.

Come to the TFF Fall GTG and try some kayaks out, and walk away feeling warm and fuzzy about your choice in a kayak.

275lbs and I've paddled in quite a few different kayaks. The difference is whether you glide gracefully on top of the water or plow through like a barge. Some hold us up better than others. Usually the ones with more $$$.

Ok thanks guys you've all been very helpful. One more question, where is the best place to go looking for good kayaks. Ive been to my local academy store but theres not much of a selection.

The most affordable highest weight capacity kayak I found was the Lifetime Manta 10 foot tandem kayak. Weight capacity 500lbs. It's heavy and slow, but very stable. Happy with mine.

I'm not sure where you are located, or what your budget is, but I know someone in Ft Worth with a 2012 WS Ride 135 Angler Edition, with rudder and I think they are selling it for $800. Good big boy yak!
