I've been landlocked for my entire fishing experience and i really want to get out on the water, i live on a small pond and some parts aren't accessible without chiggers and poison ivy, I also want to make it out to some other ponds and maybe even a lake when it starts to warm up. I have a good amount of free money to bass pro from a drawing and i want to try and buy a kayak from there simply because it would be free. Im 140 lbs and about 5'10" and i want something i can load fairly easily and that is sturdy in the water. I understand that getting into a kayak before buying is very necessary, but i want to have a general idea of what i want to look at when i go to try some kayaks out. I've been eyeing the ascend d10t, its fairly affordable and would be easier to load than its bigger brother the fs12 but how much would i really be losing in 2 feet of kayak? Honestly just looking for advice on kayaks specifically, accessories and pfd's will be looked at in another thread. Any advice on what I should look at would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
