I use a Hobie Float Cat ['toon] but have never used a kayak. I do know it's easy to fish out of the Hobie; just fin along and cast when you want to. Easy to turn. Actually one of the better presentions with the 'toon is to actually "troll" as you move from one area to the next. You also have the oars for moving greater distances altho you will not have the range of a kayak. You can mount a rod holder on the 'toon and troll while using the oars. If wind is a problem and you want to hold in place you can rig up an anchor system.

I also have a 12' pram with electric motor but like the Hobie for the additional presentions I can use with it.

Hope this doesn't confuse more.
