Most Kayak manufactures make models that are already rigged up for fishing and this is the route I would suggest for a clean and functional Fishing Yak. About the only thing you need to do is add the rods a fisherman and your tackle. You may want to also add a FF as well. Most yaks come with a paddle holder or you can easily install one in about 5 minutes. I would definitely recommend a SOT model for sure. I chose a SIK when i got my yak and when I up grade it will be a SOT for sure.
