I bought the Outlaw for fishing and crabbing in south Louisiana. It’s a roomy kayak but it’s definitely made for calmer waters. With the high seat, it’s not good in the wind. If you add an ice chest, it works like a sail. I’ve taken it out twice and both times were disasters. It’s probably a great kayak for fishing in regular lakes, but I definitely bought the wrong kayak for the conditions down here. Most people here buy Hobies because they handle the higher winds and strong currents better. I’m either going to look into mounting a trolling motor to deal with the wind and currents, or sell it. Like I said, it’s probably a great kayak, it just doesn’t work for the conditions I’m fishing in. I see people mentioning an affordable pedal kayak. One good option is the Hoodoo Tempest 120P.
