I am thinking about buying a fishing kayak but I have some concerns.
I have a very bad back 3 broken disks and my PT thought it might be a good idea to try a yac in moderation. I don't know a lot about them.
I am looking for something to do some fishing out of small ponds or rivers.
Any info on them would be much appreciated like,make,size, sit on,sit in, comfort you know everything.
Also most important I am not looking to break the bank on one.
Thanks

If you have some $ I would look at kayaks where the seat sits high. My drream Kayak would be the Kilroy. Watch the video

I read your post I am surprised with BP but then again I am not.
The Kilroy rig looks awesome but $$$ wise way over my head.
Its funny I have been told that kayaks are much easier than a canoe
and a lot more stable.
Kind a of bummed out to hear it would be harder on my back.
I am still open for suggestions.
thanks guys

You will want a light kayak with a comfortable seating position. Look at the BassPro Ascend D10. It's a nice light sit in yak with a raised lawn chair type seat. The Kilroy (jackson) is a nice boat but it is HEAVY and will ruin your back lifting it onto your vehicle.
I bought a Malibu Mini X. This is the best thing I have ever bought! Got id on Craigslist with a awesome seat and paddles for $400.00. It was like brand new. I have a Chevy Traverse and with the seats down I can fit it in and close the gate. Don't have a picture of it but I can move it no problem. ( I also have 2 Ruptured disks from ten years ago). I carry a lot of gear but make 3 or 4 trips from my car.I am thinking about buying a fishing kayak but I have some concerns.

I have an Ascend FS10 Kayak. from bass pro shops,the seat is extremely comfortable and adjustable,it is a sit in kayak but has a huge cockpit so swinging your legs in n out is easy and there's plenty of room to move your legs around.My back isn't horrible but it ain't good(like anyone 40+ yrs old) and I plan getting out n stretching every couple hours during every yak trip.
Consider a native ultimate. It's very light by yak standards. ( Just over 50#) . It somewhat pioneered the raised seat option and lets you sit with your feet lower than in most yaks. Of all the yaks I own/have owned (read over a dozen) the Ultimate is the most comfortable I've found.
