I have an "Old Town - Dirigo" 10' kayak set up for fishing. I mostly use it for lakes. It's light enough at 10' to toss up on top of the Blazer and carry down to the water. Casting isn't a problem at all. Even with the rod holder. I let the line fall on my lap. Sometimes I'll put a wooley bugger on with a small bb weight on the head so I can get down deeper. Place the rod in the rod holder and slowly troll around. Caught a lot of fish that way. I also have a Coleman Scanoe that I like using, but it's a lot harder with only one person, carrying it and maneuvering around the water, though I have done it quite often in the past. Was a lot easier when I had my ex in the front for ballast and paddling.
