looking for a fishing kayak

im a newbie to kayak fishing but not to fishing in the northwest. wondering if there are any more kayak events down south in sw washington or oregon before the summer end's. stuck to fishing the fishing bank want to expand the area's i can fish and ive started bass fishing as well. so a yak will definately expand the areas i can fish. thank's

Take all the advise you can from this site. And don't be in a rush to buy a yak make a list of what ya want in a boat then what ya need and do a lot of research. I looked for over 6 months before I picked my boat a 2013 Jackson Big Tuna tandem kayak.

thank's for the advise im in no hurry just want to learn what i can before i purchase it and try a few so i no what i like thank's again. there are many fishing opportunites where i live. i have all the gear to fish just need to get a kayak and put together what i need. im excited to try something different. i see there is kayak shop in the gorge and one in portland i live between longview and castle rock.

I know Lexington.  I depends on what kind of fishing you want to do. I am guessing you will hit the cowlitz, as well as maybe the ocean.

Read all you can.  I looked at Jackson cuda 12 and 14, feelfree moken , ride 135, hobbie outback , trident 13 and the trident big game. Settled on a trident 13.   I wanted a boat that could launch off wikikki and a catch bottom fish against north jetty, as well as a boat that could run the Lewis and kalama .  I am really new to this, so t ake my advice with a grain of salt. But go slow, think slow.
