Hello all this is this first year since 2001 that I havent had a per se "bass boat" I. Am going to try a kayak and see if I like that there's tons of small lakes around here less than 200 acres I'm getting excited already! I'm sure it will be weird for a bit I know a few guys who are thinking of getting one also who have bigger boats now see you on the water.  Junebugman

I don't have a stealth but I do have an emotion comet 11 angler and grand slam angler edition. They are decent kayaks for the money. Good starter brand. 

Take a good look around you and see who might rent kayaks. That way you could try out a couple and find out what you like before spending any bucks. You might even find a kayak fishing club around.  He in MD we even have a fishing guide that takes you out in one of his and teaches you how to fish out of one.  Of course he also owns a store that rents and sells new ones. Sorta a one stop shop.

I see lots of nice yaks on craigslist, some are sold for a good bit less than new.

I can't comment on Emotion Stealth since I don't have one, but the seat is stadium type with 3 setup, that would be good and comfortable enough. It seems to have plenty of room in the tank well. 6 set of yak attack rail that is a plus, even tho I think the one in the middle is useless(any attachment would be in the way of paddle). It should be a good starter just like my Perception Pescador Pro 100. I got mine for 619 a few months back and like it so far. It is stable enough but not for standing and fishing.

Thanks for the replies its been fun a lot different than a boat this one i can stand in it very stable lots of fun anyone have any iders for a anchor. Junebugman
