I have a float tube, pontoon, canoe and kayak. 99% of the time I'm in either the float tube or pontoon.

I know there are a lot of people here who fish from kayaks. I'll let them give you the rundown on that craft.

I have fished from the canoe and I didn't care for it as a solo fishing boat. If there is any wind at all, it's too hard to keep it positioned where you want it. Two anchors or a friend to paddle while you fish would make it more workable.
