I'm thinking about purchasing a kayak to fish in the surf,breakers and inlet channels of south carolina. what type is best sit-on or sit-in.I would like to be able to fish all and be comfortable.Also would like room to have cooler and tackle.

I would love to set one up myself we have a lot of back bays up where that I would love to tackle with light tackle

Suprised there isnt a outfitter on here!

Here in Wilmington there is Hook Line and Paddle. They have all the kayaks options you could want. I got one that has scuppers and "click and play" so I can make mine a tandem or single by moving the seats around. I also put a fish finder on it. It is also stable enough to stand up on if I want to chase a school or reds in the flats. Native makes a great boat and comes with a lifetime warranty. Something that does not happen too often anymore. They are also locally made in NC. Call HLP and pick their brain a bit. Really nice guys and locally owned and operated.

you definitely want a sit on to use fishing. if money is not an issue get a Hobie with the mirage drive. the outback or the pro angler would be my choices.

I have a pelican 116. it is green and has three rod holders. two in back and one between your legs. it is inexpensive and durable. i have had it in the gulf off of grand isle, LA and felt very safe. i have caught Bass, speckled trout and red fish from it. it is a blast.
