Hi Guys,
I'm looking at getting a kayak to do some fishing at Anglesea (in Victoria). I have a boat, but it's too big to launch anywhere nearby, so I want a kayak so I can access the reefs that are just offshore when I stay at my parents holiday house. I'd only ever be 200-300 metres offshore.
I've been looking on Ebay and seen some of the cheap new kayaks (I'm assuming they are Chinese imports) for around $350-$400. Are these any good?
I'm looking to spend about $500 at the moment. Is it possible to get anything that would suit me at that price?
I'd also like to find one that I could fit one of my kids on baord as well (just to take them for a paddle in the river, and to justify to my wife that we need to get a kayak).
I'm about 85kg and 181cm tall.
thanks
