[QUOTE="Smashdn, post: 5461752, member: 10438"] I have a sit in kayak that I used a few times. I found it much better to use the kayak as the means of conveyance to the spot and then get out and hunt. Buried it up into some brush and cat tails and used it as a seat during wood duck season a few times. I have also used it to tend decoys in deeper water. I tried to use it for jump shooting but where you have to place your gun and where the water tends to drip off the paddle are the same place. Your gun gets pretty wet. Also, not very fast to drop the paddle (tied to kayak with string) and grab gun. Not saying it can't be done, just not ideal. I also now have a sit on top fishing kayak. I could see it being easier as it is more stable and has a peddle drive to free up your hands but you also sit much higher up in it so would need some good cover to get in behind. It is also a lot slower moving hull than the sit in. I have an old town discovery with a flat stern. I can put a small outboard on it and do just about anything I need. That or something similar is the route I would go over a kayak. A nucanoe or gheenoe type boat. All in all, I would still only use a kayak to get me to a spot if I had to use one. [/QUOTE]
