Dang, I wish I had a son like you!!! You'll be able to put any of those in the bays as well as in freshwater. If you had a motor, close offshore in good weather is also a possibility but be very careful out there! You gotta be able to get back into the bay quickly in case of problems. Have fun!

If something bad does happen ill swim my @$$ off since i was in swimming though i will probably not go out of the bay
oh also is this a good motor for ocean and fresh if i clean it and lube http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/store ... ID=&cmCat=

Get a yak, they have a tankwell for when your diving, you can troll, there faster to get from point A to B, if your batteries die you don't have to kick for your life to get back, and you can rig the heck out of em', I have a caddis and since iv'e had "two kayaks now" i havn't used my tube in about 4 years.
you can get some really awsome deals on http://www.kayak4fish.com heres a sample of mine wich is kind of basic but its good for me,just to give an idea if you havn't seen what they do to them these days.
"sorry no pics"all my pics are to big to post, i still have to figure out the whole pics on the post thing i guess, but anyway check out that site theres some good pics of rigged yaks.

I agree with martuka,
I have a kayak, and a pontoon.
I gotta say since I brought the kayak, I have not use my pontoon. and sure they I'm not gonna use
the pontoon again. I don't know what your situation is with transportation, my kayak takes up alot a room in
the garage and transportation to the lake (I transport my on top of my SUV). What I didn't like about the
pontoon is the set up it take once you get to the lake. it will take 30-40 min setup. I'm sure people are faster,
just takes practices. With the kayak I can paddle my way around the lake, I like the freedom of traveling
where I want.

I think the best thing to do is try all it out. People have different preference.

pontoon, its cool


but I like this more



hope this helps
pm me if you have any questions
later
