canoe for me, but i have both. i have pulled my canoe 3/4 of a mile thru the woods i keep the wheels on if it is not too weedy. and pop them off it is weedy.
i can stretch and stand up in the canoe or have room for another person.
my kayak is only about 35 lbs so i can throw it on my shoulder but i find my shoulders hurt after an hour or so of fishing from having to hold them up higher. i also feel i see the waters surface better from the canoe as i and the canoe sit so much higher up above the water.
this is my canoe when i fish alone.
temp and depth finder, anchor ,paddles , padded seat troller and battery , lots of room for stuff including 5 rods (i buy a new cheap one every year when they go on clearance) spinner , crank , rage craw, zara spook or black jitterbug , top water weedless white mouse are usually what i have on . , also the net for big pickerel or pike, i dont use the net for bass
