Re: yak fishing
The comfort of it all depends on the style of seat it has on it. I have a perception pescador 12 footer which is the same design as the old wilderness tarpon 12's and it has a high back support which is comfortable. I've fished in it for up to 6 hours and was comfortable the whole time. I would just research the different yaks in your price range and go with the one that suits your needs the best.

Re: yak fishing
I went down to my local kayak shop to get a drift sock for my commander 140 and saw a Jackson big tuna! What a kayak. Seems like the perfect yak for ocean fishing. Kinda pricey nd heavy but I think its well worth the investment if someone is serious about yak fishing. I'm 6ft 240lbs and when I demoed it I had no problem standing and moving around and the seat makes for a comfortable ride all day. I plan on going back soon and picking one up when they get my color in. The. Built in live bait tank is cool to. Check out some of the demo videos on YouTube

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
