Kayak For Crappie

I’m considering getting a kayak to chase crappie and perhaps double up as a kayak to float the rivers in Arkansas for smallies. Basically looking to sit on top and a nice balance of storage, stability and somewhat budget friendly. Suggestions along with price and purchase location would be appreciated.

You might explore the kayak section if not already .

Thanks gborg. Didn’t realize that was there.

Check these out... then find a dealer in your area to see them in person. There are a lot more good brands but those are some of my favorites for kayaks that do a lot of things well for many different types of fishing. All are recognized brands. Good luck!

make sure you test drive it first. if you are buying higher end. i would not spend that money on a quality yak without a test drive.

Craigslist: I found "locally" a $5000 Hobie PA 12' for $2000 The guy was going through a divorce. I have since decked it out.

That's not a yak, thats QEIIyak - very nice!

There are no fish in that river
