Thread: kyak question

i might get a kayak i would like to use it out on the ocean for kings and stuff. i found a used one but its 12 feet, is that to small of a kayak for the ocean? Don't know anything about kayaks would appreciate the information.

It isnt the size but the make. 12ft is fine as long as it holds you and is built for open water. The rest is skill. You have to get past the surf and you have to land in the surf. The rest is easy.

I got an 8 1/2 foot thats super wide. can easily fish standing up. Caught kings from it too

what is the brand and style? That may get more answers than just length.

I have an OK Scrambler and a WS Tarpon. Both are 12 ft and I've had plenty of king scales on both of them. I prefer the Ocean Kayak for rougher seas. However, the Wilderness System is more fishable and more comfortable in my opinion. Would recommend either one though. Especially for someone just starting out. Hope this helps.

the one i was going to buy isn't available so I'm in the hunt right now for one

Its a great investment. Opens up a lot of opportunities for some great fishing

^^^ ya thats why i want one to kill more fish :banana:

Just save a little more and wait on a used hobie deal.. It's well worth it.. Ask Ty J
