I just came back from the NJ Wild Outdoor Expo. One of the vendors was a Kayak dealer. He was showing the Hobie w/ the pedal fins and several Trident brand sit on models made just for fishing.
This included one where the back 4 feet are two sealed chambers that can be spread apart in a Y shape for stability. Mid-ship it has a Inverse U shaped bar designed to stabilize a standing angler! i guess you rest your hips/belly against it while you stand there fishing...
They had another with a insert-able electric trolling motor! It runs around two grand but it was a very nice setup...
They also had a Nu-canoe, a molded cross between a sit on 'yak and a canoe that was wide enough to have a swivel fishing seat and a transom made for a standard trolling motor...
The shop owner is a former pro bass angler who now has a 'pond hopper' guide service where he takes 2 - 3 anglers out on guided C & R fishing trips on lakes where you can't use regular boats, turnkey trips where he supplies everything including digital photos of the catch...It was interesting to hear him talk about his 'yaks.
