I also am a surf man, but have canoed and kayaked recreationally and want to start fishing from 'em. Two questions: 1) where do you usually do your fishing? 2) you mentioned a group outing including demos - sounds like the perfect way for me to try it, so more information would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

now i am confused, i just read a different discussion where the advice was a sit-on-top for getting through the surf, i assumed because otherwise too much water would get in a closed hull (i guess even with a skirt)...thoughts anyone, sit-on-top or not for first all around fishing kayak?

JonSS,
why are SOTs easier to learn on, use, and more versatile? In Jamaic I played on a sit on top and didn't really care for being so exposed to water over the sides, whereas all other times i've used a "sink" with or without skirts.... so why the SOT for beginner/fishing please? (Does it have to do with being able to hang your legs over the sides? Easier to drain water?)
Thanks.
