I agree that for some people it comes down to personal preference, and I'm sure there are very good kayakers out there who can safely fish in a SIK - people who can flip and bail a touring-length SIK in cold rough water. Just make sure you understand the differences and are willing to assume the risk. We live a society where your lawnmower needs a sticker telling you not to stick your hand in the spinning blade; please tell your wife not to sue the kayak company if you die.
I still think a SOT is safer and better suited for fishing. |
