This is a killer kayak that we list as our favorite for fishing in 2015 its got the perfect mix between features and price! It’s 13’6″ long and 29 1/2 inches wide, which makes it fast yet stable. It weighs about 60 pounds with 450 pound capacity. It comes with a seat, a large bow hatch and it has a great big tank well. I’m super impressed with this kayak!
An included cannon rod holder comes with the Trident 13 Angler. Each ocean Trident that you get comes with one of these. I really like this because of the rod holder. It lets you put it anywhere you want in any position(that’s what she said jokes aside). This is one of my favorite things about the kayak. It’s got a built-in ruler for your fish you can put your pliers inside and all kind of fishing gear. It’s got many different additional holes that let you screw in many different fish finders and accessories.
Check Price and Availability HereOcean kayaks really pioneered kayak fishing and this kayak has a real simple design thats gets back to basics. This Ocean Kayak Trident 13 moves very well on the water. It tracks really well. It’s got very good handles to grab on and all the tie downs for all of your gear. It’s got some dry storage at the front plenty of room for your gear in the back to put your fishing tray in the back inside the bungee’s and put your fish back there.
It’s got very nice comfortable foot pedals you can use to move back and forth and a seat that comes out easily if you have another custom seat that you want to put in(this is recommended since a lot of users listed the seat as the only con of the kayak). It’s got some more storage in the Center for more fishing gear and it’s got a mod pod in the middle that comes with the kayak.
There is a lot of things you can do with the gear area. It also comes right out. Ocean has a whole line of kayaks from the simple small 10 foot standard kayak up to the 15 foot fishing kayaks. This is a very good model between 13 foot it’s not too big, it’s easy to handle the ocean 12 is also another good size for fishing. They are one of the pioneers of kayak fishing. There is a whole line of ocean kayaks that are great for these purposes, but this is one of my favorites.
