I currently use a cheap fishing kayak this past season when I want to fish alone because lugging around my 12' Tracker Topper is just annoying to do solo. For next season I was looking into making a bigger investment in either a better fishing kayak (Wilderness Systems Commando) or one of the 8' Uncle Bucks Pond Prowler type boat. I want to be able to stand while fishing alone, so that's why I put that kayak name. Anyone have any recommendations/suggestions as to which to do? I do enjoy kayaking but it seems kayaks you can stand in are a lot more money then getting one of the 8' boats. Thanks.
Yeah I do that when I use my 12' jon, but that's not why the length mattered! More reccommendations/suggestions!
I can carry my boat on my back like a turtle shell if i'm fishing a place I gotta carry in a little way. The 8 footer is probably a little lighter.
My 8' topper is about 3" too big to fit through my condo door. I'm ordering a two piece one man boat called a solo boat. Who knows if it will sink, but its a boat that accommodates city living. Here's their youtube video.

Haha, that things great. I'm actually intrigued
Until I saw the price
Yep, its $1500. But I currently have my boat stashed at my folks place 45 minutes away, it gets expensive just for me to drive there and pick it up. And this is the only type of craft that I can squeeze through my front door into my back yard.
I have a Bass Baby it`s an 8 footer and has the built in wheels.It`s easy to roll it yourself to the water.I bought it a few years ago & actually never caught a bass on it,maybe thats because i went out with my girlfriend who gets bored ,so ended up panfishin.I bought a Yak soon thereafter as I didn`t have a trolling motor.It`s for sale as well.Its the same as the 2013 ones with the 2 storage hatches.
Hi Zack-
