Every sales person I speak with informs me of why this one or that one is better, however when asked, none have ever fished from a Kayak... at least the ones I have asked. Can you make some recommendations for what to look for? I have been shopping for a fishing Kayak to use in the Florida west coast back waters.

Can you make some recommendations for what to look for?

Brands and designs labeled as 'Touring Kayaks' or 'Sea Kayaks' are in fact recreational by nature. The words 'Touring' and 'Sea' were introduced by several manufacturers and designers who wanted to differentiate these faster and more expensive products from the common recreational kayaks who are wider, stabler, slower and cheaper. The only kayaks I know that are not 'recreational' are those who are classified and manufactured for professional competitions under strict technical requirements issued by official bodies such as the International Canoe Federation (ICF).
