what kind of kayak would be best to buy for someone just starting out? I’ve been looking at inflatable kayaks and wondering if there are any drawbacks to them as opposed to the others.
I want it mainly for recreation, but am also wondering if i could use a normal plastic kayak for fishing.
I’ve experimented with a Sevylor Tahiti, and have concluded that despite the initial worries about punctures, inflatable kayaks are practical fishing boats.
I’m now looking to spend a bit more money and get something a bit more hardcore. I’m looking for something that is good and rigid and that tracks well but can handle a light swell.
I’ve considered the Sevylor SVX200DS or maybe a Sea Eagle Paddleski.
Anybody any thoughts on other makes of inflatable kayak that would be good for fishing in estuaries or coastal inshore seas.
Here is more info about this sport;

I live in Alaska but know little about this form of fishing, any information on the great.
How fast do I troll for them, what size hooks in the salmon bait do I use? Etc etc?
I have just got to try this!
Sorry for the typo; I meant any information would be great.
