I will eventually be getting a new kayak. I am torn between the convenience of a sit on top SOT versus a SIS sit inside kayak's stability. I fish in an area (Salish Sea, Victoria Canada) where if you go in the water for half an hour you are as good as dead. An hour. You are dead. So I don't really want to go in the water. Also, the water is often very rough, from october to June. I have an old 9.5 foot Necky Sky kayak that I have totally modified for fishing and trolling. But, it's lifetime will be over eventually. I like it because it is SIS and very stable and therefor safe. I have seen other SOT yakers out there in the nice and calm weather but they look like they are sitting on top of a plastic bubble. I have never seen them in rough weather. I would like your input as to the stability of SIS vs SOT yaks. I am at a loss as to what is best for fishing and safety combined. I should also mention that I fish when it is just above freezing on calm winter days. Can anyone suggest any models for my requirements?
