I borrowed a friends sit in a couple years ago and went to a local park of Lake St Clair. Normally there is about 100' of fishing from shore and a fishing pier that you couldnt fly fish from. Paddled away from the crowds and smoked the LM and blue gill. More then I could count at the time. Why I didnt get my own kayak or at the very least tell my friend his was stolen (lol) i dont know. I have been looking and cost has been an issue, however, I have narrowed it down to an FS10 sit in at Bass Pro for $499. fits in my budget, nice ride and good reviews. Plus it fits in my Avalanche with the rear gate closed.
