Hello Folks
I am thinking about getting a kayak for fishing, I searched and I see on this site that there are a few people are using them. I thought about a canoe but since it would only be me going I think a kayak would me more managable.
So what kind of kayak's are people using? I see there are two basic types, those that you sit on top of and those that you sit in. Right now I am leaning to something that you sit in because I think you would stay drier that way, but I am open for suggestions.
How stable are they? I would really hate to tip it over and loose all my fishing gear.
How do you get in the things? Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not sure I get it.
How well do they handle the swells that come up sometimes pretty quickly here in the afternoons?
It would be used mostly for places like Quincy, at least to start with.
I have a regular boat I can take out when there is more than just me going, but I can't get it in and out of my pickup by myself, at least not at the ramps at Quincy.
I was thinking about something like this:

So give me your opinions and ideas.
Thanks
