Hello:
I am looking for a kayak to fish the inland bays of the Laguna Madre in far South Texas. What I plan on doing is putting a rack on my boat and then transporting the kayak to the shallows. Most of the water I fish is 8"-3', and I would primarily be poling the craft and sight fishing for reds and specs. Currently, I just wade fish and am very successful, but as I get older, wade fishing oyster mucks gets tougher-and tougher.
I met this fly fisherman this past fall who was fishing a Solo Craft and slaying the fish using the poling method. In my conversations with this fisherman, he suggested a stand up kayak which led me to the 11.5 Outlaw. I am thinking about going ahead and pulling the trigger on this deal, but I thought before I wrote the check, I would reach out to some other fisherman.
Thanks,
Michael
