My apologies for not offering a better response. I was actually packing for a trip to FL and was using my smartphone. That's why the responses were so short.
I spend a lot of time on the gulf coast and much of my kayaking time will take place in saltwater bays and brackish water canals. I had done quite a lot of researching but hadn't had much of an opportunity to try anything out. That all changed during this trip when I had the opportunity to try out a variety of kayaks. In the end my wife and son purchased a kayak - a 14' Wilderness Systems sit-in - for my birthday gift. I was actually thinking about getting a sit-on (easy to get on and off in the water) of less than 12' (easier to transport in my F-150) but the WS-14 was just too darn nice!
Anyway, here's the new toy with me explaining to the mutt that he'd better not break any more points unless he wanted to become shark bait!
BTW, the fishing was pretty good.
