I have decided to hop on the kayak fishing bandwagon. Im ready for a change from primarily fishing crowded gville and wheeler to backwater streams and rivers for bass, crappie, and bream. It looks like a blast and I will get to see some scenery that only kayakers get to experience!

I have read a lot of reviews, researched styles of kayaks, ect... so now I want some opinions from you guys! I have decided I would like a sit on top style and I have been checking craigslist for used ones, but people in general just ask way too much for a used kayak. Ide rather spend a little extra and get a new one. I am looking at spending about 500 on a yak.

The one I particularly like is the Field and Stream Talon. Its at a local Dicks Sporting Goods, but they actually do not have the exact model online. This is it at another site http://www.kayakfishingmagazine.net/...gle-talon.html. The one at dicks is not yellow though

Would this be a good starter kayak? Should I look at others that are 10ft such as Pelican and Pescador? What are some other things i need to consider when purchasing a kayak? I like the fact that it comes with a pre-rigged anchor setup and a 1.5 lb anchor, a couple storage compartments, 2 flush rod holders, and a rod holder mounted in the center.
