I fish from Malibu Pro Explorer Sit on top fishing Kayak. I perfer fishing Kayak's to Tube's and toon's for a number of Reason's. Your out of the water, You can Troll, cast, and Drift. They float in about 4" of water. There's no air needed. They are plastic so they can alot of abuse. They are really stable. If the wind pick's up there's no need to worry because they are self bailing. Easy to paddle. Most come with bulit in Pole holders. There's alot of room for gear in side the yak. Can put on more rod holders, fish fisnders and such.
There's a few drawbacks too. Weight. Most are round 45 -50lbs. Length .They range from 8ft and up. Cost. They cost any where from $200 up to 2,000.
I float tubed for years, but I just couldn't do the fishing that I wanted. Spend a few hours kicking in a tube and your wiped out. I can spend all day in the yak paddling and still feel great.
I have 2 if you or any body else would like to try them out.Just let me know.
